Review: Worked well using WPS setup - you can follow the instuctions in the supplied booklet - Was a bit concerned as there seems to be a few horror stories on setup. I have a WPS button on my (BT Homehub 3) router and so opted to try that method. - 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.
Review: Works great.....eventually! - N.B. - Do not contact Netgear in event of installation issues! - I am relatively tech-savvy, but I made the rare mistake of reading and (trying to) follow the installation instructions, which caused me a good hour of headaches and nearly resulted in the unit being returned. Now it is up and running it is great - have it about ten metres from the router in an area where the signal is quite weak due to thick walls in an old house, but it is linked well and provides an excellent signal at the rear of the house and into the garden, all of which was pretty much a deadsport previously. 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great device - but don't bother ringing Netgear support
*by M***E on 23 March 2018*

It's a great device and provides excellent wifi coverage in what were 'dead spots' in parts of our house. The superb review posted by Timotei on 27 June 2017 showed how to install this extender. I have added a couple of extra notes to what was written based on my experience: -Plug unit into socket close to router and power on - orange light will show and after 30 seconds (approx) will turn green after the unit has booted up -Press WPS button on left side of unit - the second WPS light on unit will start to flash green. -On your computer look for available wi-fi networks, the Netgear extender will show as Netgear_EXT, click to connect to this network -This may automatically open a browser tab (have the browser open already) with the login page for the extender. -If the page does not open automatically, enter the mywifiext (dot) net address in the browser URL bar -Click on Extender Setup, and fill in your account details on the next page -The next pages allow you to enter account and security / logon details. The green Router light will illuminate on the extender -You'll then be asked to connect a device to the _EXT network and click continue. You're already connected, so hit continue ! -The green Device light on the extender will illuminate, and the set up should finish. You should now be connected to the Internet via your _EXT network -However, the set up may NOT finish ok, but give you 404 page not found errors. If you check on you network connection status it will say 'No Internet, Secure'. This will happen even if all the green lights are on. If you run the network troubleshooter it will say no valid IP address. To solve the issue, switch your router off and back on again, your router should then recognize the extender and you'll be on the Internet -when all this is complete, unplug the extender and position it in an area of house between router and (as close as possible to) dead spots you wish to eliminate. Unit will power up as before and the router will recognize it -On your laptop / phone / tablet etc search for wi-fi connections for your newly named network and log on. If you register your product and use the Netgear support site to get through to Netgear technical support you'll be wasting your time. After waiting in a queue for a long time, you'll quickly realize that the agent knows as much about the issue as you do. They'll keep putting on hold while they check the Netgear help pages - something you could have done without phoning them. They won't solve the connection issue and will tell you to return the faulty unit. Then you'll call your ISP with the non-connection problem and they'll tell you about turning the router off and on !
