When we moved into our new town house in Baltimore, we realized that some genius put the cable for the internet in the far back room. Given that most of our WiFi time is spent towards the front of the house where the living room and office are located, we were having major connectivity issues.
After months of dropping connections and getting grainy Netflix streaming, I decided to give the Netgear Univeral WiFi Range Extender a try. This device is amazing! It is super easy to set up - even my husband could do it. Essentially, it serves as another router in the home which extends the connection. Therefore, whenever I set this one up, I just used all the settings of my other router and added _EXT to the end of the name of the network connection. What makes it so easy is that you can put all of your security settings that you have on your main router onto this one with one click of the mouse. From opening the box to setting up the extender, installation took me less than 5 minutes.
Ever since we have had the WiFi extender, I can remote into my work computer without having to deal with dropped connections and watch Netflix without the movies or shows stopping or getting grainy. While on the box it says that the connection is slower than that of your main router, I have not had any problems with speed. I'm assuming if you are gaming, it would effect the resolution but for the things I need, I have been more than satisfied!
