Foe those that have read my previouws reviews you will know that, being a yorkshireman :-) i'm not prone to outlandish unimformative reviews - neither do i over rate things - nope just an honest review of my experience....
So i had a big issue with my Wifi in particular coverge at one end of the house (my house is dated 1856 & as such the walls are probably 3ft thick Hmm) so i decided to attempt to do something about it & ordered the Netgear WiFi Booster & it duely arrived as did my hesitataion....how does it work? will it work? is it easy to setup?.... the ususal thoughts but Hey Ho i can say this product
1) works very well indeed
2) really was easy to setup 10mins setting up but i did take 20mins reading the instructions :-)
3) it is really easy to understand how it works ...
I have used a Netgear Router back in the day (probably 15yrs ago when isp's didint send out the cheap routers they send out today)
So all in all - its a resounding Yes from me on all fronts - i didnt give 5/5 because its still early days only been using for 2 days but that said i dont envisage anything to malfunction - if it did i would ammend this review & simliarly perhaps after 4 weeks i may well update this review to 5/5...
If you're struggling & dont fancy the idea of setting a Mesh System thi9s is definitely worth a try & at £21 wont cost you the earth ...

Following the supplied instructions and trying to install via a browser window (page 10 of manual) I was unable to access the router - the address was not recognised and I kept being redirected to a "support page". After an online "chat" I was given a free-phone number to contact Netgear support - this worked easily enough, but the support was next to useless - told me I would not be able to use the extender without purchasing additional software!!!
I then did what I (and probably 80% of the population) normally do and tried to install it without referring to the manual......2 minutes later all sorted and working perfectly!!!!
Hopefully you will not have these issues, but if you do need any help, here is how I did it;
-Plug unit into socket close to router and power on - orange light will show and after 30 seconds (approx) will turn green.
-Press WPS button on left side of unit - second light on unit will start to flash green.
-On your computer look for available wi-fi networks, the Netgear extender will show, click to connect.
-This will automaticaaly open a browser tab (I had the browser open already) with the login page for the extender.
-follow the on page instructions to enter account and security / logon details. Router light will illuminate on extender.
-when this is complete, unplug extender and position in area of house between router and (as close as possible to) deadspots you wish to eliminate. Unit will power up as before.
-On laptop / phone / tablet etc search wi-fi connections for your newly named network and log on.
-hopefully, as for me, it will now work a treat!
Hope this helps!
Edit 14 October 2017 - Thank you to all for your kind comments, I am so glad my review has been helpful and really appreciate you taking the time to let me know. I apologise for not replying to your individual comments.
I have amended my review from 4 stars to 5 stars as the unit has now been plugged in for nearly 4 months and has performed without fault. It has not had to be unplugged / reset and has given me an excellent signal throughout this time.
- Note that the supplied instructions for WPS setup in the booklet are good.
- Plug in the extender relatively near to your hub/router. Power button is amber at first and then turns green. Don't be tempted to plug it in where you have the reception problem!
- Press the WPS button on the extender. The WPS LED on the extender will flash green
- Then press the WPS button on the router. The wireless LED on the router then flashes orange (this will be router specific but valid for the BT hub in question)
- First time nothing much else happened. After about 2 mins nothing had connected and everything had reverted back to the way it was).
- Repeated the exercise and this time the wireless LED on the router illuminated blue (as it should be in normal use). On the extender the WPS LED was now solid green and the router LED was now illuminated (solid green).
- You can now unplug the extender and move it. Placement obviously depends on your circumstances (and whether you are using multiple extenders) but for one extender then find a socket about half way between your router and the dead zone
- Now this is where it is easy to think job done. I assumed the extender would simply extend the use the same SSID as the hub and authenticate automatically any device that had accessed the hub's wifi. But on each wireless device you want to connect, you have to manually select the SSID of the extender. It will be the name of your hub with _EXT appended to the name. If you forget this step then your devices will simply be trying to connect to the hub as before and so you have achieved nothing! Note this is explained in the instruction booklet. No excuses!
- Enter your normal hub/router password and the device joins the new network
- Remember that the extender and the hub/router wireless operate as two separate WiFi networks and so your device will not see it as one network and connect to whichever has the stronger signal as you move around. In fact for me my extender is very central and so now generally works from anywhere
- If I am connected to the hub's wifi network and then move to the dead zone then I will see my device temporarily lose wifi and then connect to the extender's wifi (so for example on a mobile phone then the wifi symbol reverts to 3G/4G and then about 20 seconds later will pick up the extender
- You can check signal strength (to test for optimal placement) both on your device (e.g. signal strength bars) and at the extender where there is a device LED that should glow green (or amber). If red then move the extender. I guess optimally you want it green
- The extender does take about a minute to restart and reconnect if you unplug it and move it and so if you are experimenting with placement then be patient for it to complete its restart and reconnect
- 5 stars? - well I have only been using it for an hour! We will see
- Not sure what happens if you have multiple of these. Do they each get a new SSID? e.g _EXT, _EXT_1 etc. I presume that Netgear has thought of this!
UPDATE: has been working well for 18 months. Had to set it up on a different router (this time Virgin Media V6 Hub). So first step is to reset the extender by inserting a paper clip into small hole in underside). Took me a couple of goes to force it to reset but you can check it is reset as the SSID reverts to “NETGEAR_EXT”. Then repeat the WPS setup. For me this did not work but then I realised the repeater works with 2.4Ghz only and my router was 5Ghz. So I would either have to turn on 2.4Ghz on the router or use manual setup which does let you repeat any 2.4Ghz WiFi it can see rather than just the one coming from the router. For some reason the manual setup process requires you create an account. No idea why. And each time you do a reset you have to create a new account. The manual process seemed prone to have to repeat some steps but stick with it and it will ask for your SSID passcode. Then the extender appears as before with the name of “your chosen SSID_EXT”.
OK so not perfect but worthy of 5 stars as excellent fix to WiFi black spots for little money.
