I paired this Netgear Extender with the Nighthawk R9000 router and it is fast! My Wireless internet speeds are 15-18 Mbps up and 300 Mbps down speeds throughout my 2600 sq ft two story home. I highly recommend this product.

I've set up a few routers, and found the procedure somewhat difficult. Download an app to your cell phone and use that to set up, connect via ethernet cable to initialize, etc. etc. This one is no different. Take an hour or two. For the price, I expected a dramatic increase in range. I didn't get that. In fact, based on signal strength app, it was no better than a less expensive extender I was already using. In the end, I returned it and kept the extender I was using.

This thing really struggles to work with other Netgear Routers. I have a Netgear Nightwawk R7000. It connected, got everything started, but then throughout the day it'll just drop out & not work. When it works, it's totally awesome! 200 Mbps clear across the house & out in the garage (4200 sq/ft home), but when it doesn't work, oh my! It crashed my entire network multiple times. Even my wired LAN connections got locked up. It'd reassign IP addresses that were already assigned, it'd drop a connection, or it just wouldn't work at all. When it works, it's the bomb, but when it doesn't--watch out! It's like a train wreck on your network. Wish it would've worked. I loved it when it did. But it was too unreliable. (I've read somewhere that it really struggles to assign IP addresses correctly --doesn't coordinate the DHCP with the router well)Read full review

Very good extender. Getting more can help you put them together like a mesh system. The only problem I’ve had with them is the ping rate when gaming. I’ve tested it between two houses, and I can confirm if your internet is not up to par expect your extender to have a very high ping rate unless you are hardwired. As you know extenders cut the bandwidth in half when using them. I’ve tested one on an xfinity network and one on ATT. The xfinity was very excellent, no ping whatsoever as I had the extender right by my console. ATT was also great and it is near my console. I’ve had issues with it at first but once you go through your settings and figure out what’s the issue it’s a very nice product when used. The only other quarrels that I’ve had with it, is it not loading up in the nighthawk app that you have to use the browser wifiext site to login and check its settings. Should be a 4 star, but it’s a 5 star from me.Read full review

No ethernet cable, but I already had several. All lights flashing at first. Eventually, managed to get it to work. You need to wait for awhile, probably updating, defaults to one or two lights, then install as new device with "mywifiext" (see Netgear site)
