NETGEAR WiFi Extender EX5000, up to 1,500 sq ft, 1.2 Gbps

Easy install and works great. I would recommend if you are looking for WiFi extender .

Easy to use and set up. Remember to connect directly (192.168.1.### usually) and without a VPN or have your service exclude the browser you're using to access this device. Okay range but so cheap you can add a few more and not worry. Fairly stable, but connects poorly unless you're in an unobstructed space. Still good to have though.

This extender was relatively easy to set up. Works great with Spectrum internet. Just one factor to consider: if the power goes out, the extender may not have your devices reconnect. You may have to unplug your router and wait a second or 2 and reconnect your router and then the extender will work.

No customer service. When trying to set this up, first problem was it has you go to a website that doesn't exist. It just kept circling around for you to open your browser and enter the same website. Then when I went to netgear, it had listings of models to set up and it did not list this model. Then it wants you to download a install program which once again didn't work. Decided to call and the first thing, the automated voice asks if you are over 50 because you could get a discount. I thought, what the heck, lets see what that is. BIG MISTAKE! It was a pitch for a life alert type device and, you can't get out of it. I kept saying no an all that did was send me to another automated voice saying the will set me up with this thing. Hung up and called back, said no to the over 50 question, still got the same pitch. Called from ou land line and, still got the pitch. Decided to use the chat option. At least they didn't pitch me. They wanted a picture of what lights were on, on the extender. I was working on my desktop and didn't want to drag out and plug in my camera so, I told them I could just tell them what lights were on. One green , not a big deal. At that point nothing else was said and my conversation was rejected. Promptly boxed up the extender, processed my return to Amazon and, ordered a different brand, which I had setup in maybe 5 minutes.

Works great with Starlink! It took a little time to set up but if you type in the numeric IP address 192.168.1.250 into the “net gear ext” WiFi option and use the net gear genie, it’s pretty simple.

I purchased this NETGEAR EX5000 to eliminate a weak WiFi area near my outdoor cameras. There seem to be two setup methods. One uses the app or browser setup pages(marked in Yellow color with numbers 1, 2 and 3), while the other uses the WPS buttons. After reading several reviews mentioning setup headaches, I skipped the web route entirely and used WPS instead(images marked in Blue color from 1 to 4). For me, setup was surprisingly straightforward. I placed the extender in the same room as my router, waited for the status light to turn green, pressed the WPS button on the extender, then pressed the WPS button on my router(TP-Link) a few seconds later. After a short wait, the extender created the extended network automatically(existing network will be extended to your_existing_network_name_2/5GEXT). I connected using the same WiFi password as my router and later logged into the local webpage to rename the network. Compared to some other networking devices I have dealt with in the past this felt fairly painless. The compact size is another thing I liked. It does not block the second outlet making a placement easier in a crowded wall socket area. However, I was disappointed in performance. I tested this extender and compared against my wired access point(I know not a fair comparison) using a local speed test server. My WiFi 6 access point was able to deliver around 1.8 Gbps in the same location but this extender averaged around 42 Mbps. I understand this is a WiFi 5 extender and not intended for multi gig networking, but I was anticipating 200-400Mbps.

Filled the void in my WiFi coverage. Easy to pair, up and running in just a few minutes. Improved WiFi signal immediately.

Very appreciative for this wifi extender! Setup was so quick & easy. Signal is fast to the point that I've connected all my devices to it!

Funciona muy bien. Batallé para configurar un poco al inicio pero creo que fue mi error.

Funciona excelente, buen alcance en señal.

Ya es necesario sustituir el anterior, después de casi seis años de servicio.

Es fácil de conectar y la coneccion es rápida pero el alcanze es muy poco.

Fácil de instalar y ayuda a ampliar el alcance de la red
