This review is from: Netgear Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender (WN3000RP) (Personal Computers) I have been pleasantly surprised with this extender. My WNDR3700 is in the basement next to a large metal work bench and under a lot of metal piping. All of this interference creates a deadzone on the other side of the first floor in the two bedrooms. The house is wired, but this is really annoying for iPads and laptops. I was considering running some longer CAT5e and putting the router in the middle of the basement on a wall, but I tried this extender first. It's a much more expensive solution than $6/50' of CAT5e (monoprice.com), but I also wanted to extend the WiFi out into the backyard. I plugged the WN3000RP into the wall, waited for the green ready light, pressed the WPS button on the WNDR3700, held down the WPS button on the WN3000RP, and the connection was made. I had a new network named MySSID_EXT with the same security and passphrase. I tested it out with INSSID on my laptop and my WiFi Analyzer app on my phone. I wandered the house checking the...

This review is from: Netgear Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender (WN3000RP) (Personal Computers) After trying other range extenders and not being satisfied, I tried the Netgear Range Extender as a last resort before wiring the house. My wifi is set up at one end of the house and cannot get wifi at all in the kitchen and very low reception at the far end of the house. This range extender gives me 3 bars no matter where I am in the house. It is a fantastic product and by far the best on the market.

I bought a new laptop which i use 95% of the time at the other FAR end of my home and the signal i got was poor to fair. I was looking to upgrade my signal quality to my bedroom as much as possible and purchased 3 different wireless N routers trying to accomplish this. None of them got any better range. I returned each router and then searched for Wireless N Range Extenders and came across this at Staples. I wasn't too sure it would work but boy was i pleasantly surprised! I bought it, took it home and had it installed in about 10 mins. I placed it about half-way of my home and then went and connected my laptop and BAM! Excellent signal strength with 300.0 connection speed! I am very happy with this product so far. Highly recommended for those needing extended coverage of your current wireless setup.
