Operating temperature: 32° to 140°F (0° to 40°C). Review: Excellent performance. Very strong signal covering more than half my house. - WOW - triples the speed at the far end of my apartment. I purchased the NightHawk AC 5300, X8 about two months ago and was blown away by its power to reach the far end of my apartment without an extender. Prior to this I had the very well respected Apple Extreme and an Apple extender to get that far. But as the weeks went by I became frustrated because although the Router kept me connected, it was very slow. I had to settle for a 2.4 connection and even that was sometimes pretty slow on my tablet and on my phone. I finally gave in to my craving to get the extender to go with the very good router. It has made an enormous difference and has surprising reach. At least half of my house now gets a stronger signal from the extender than from the router itself. Netgear's instructions say that an amber light means an ok signal. I kept wandering all around trying to get a blue light for both 2.4 and 5, which would be an "excellent" signal. I would suggest not spending a lot of time trying to get blue lights - when I finally gave in to one amber and one blue, I discovered that the amber signal was more than "ok" - it was 2+ times faster. And then tonight, I suddenly found that both 2.4 and 5 were blue. Not sure I will always get such a good signal, even on the 5 band, but it's held all night. I would suggest getting the best amber you can (if you can't get blue), and let it settle in. Also, check your speed, you might be very happy with amber. If I could, I would have docked half a star for the poor placement of the power cord into the extender. It actually prevents me from placing the lowest antenna where I'd like. But overall performance was too good to dock a whole star for something this minor by comparison. I also found it a pleasure to set up with another Netgear product. The extender and router found each other within a minute and contact was stabilized in another 20 or so seconds. Review: Quality Product and Very Easy to Install and Use - I was looking for a quality range extender and the Nighhawk had good reviews on CNET. I wanted to by a Linksys extender but it was only an AC1200. (to my understanding the higher the AC the more data can flow through the network). I like to stay current on technology and try not to buy top of the line until they go on sale. The price was good and I needed a solution now or keep paying Verizon for cellphone data overages. My router = Linksys WRT1900AC. (top of the line early 2014) Install = easy, less than 5 minutes. Unwrap, add antennas, plug to power, press Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) button on Range Extender and Press WPS button on Linksys router within 2 minutes. All green lights = ok to unplug and move. It will automatically create a network with same name as existing network and password and will add _2GEXT i.e."yournetwork"_2GEXT. You have to place the extender where there is a good signal strength and then it increases the range. I place mine upstairs and there are no dead spots in the house. I even get that signal downstairs at full strength. I've seen some negative reviews about extender not working, and it's most likely being placed too far from the router. You can't boost/extend a poor signal or your router needs to be upgraded also. Connectivity = connecting to iPhones and other devices very easy easy. The iPhone5 automatically found the _2GEXT network, but the iPhone6 had to select _2GEXT and input password. Performance = faster upload speed to my iPhone6. My games load quickly. Reliable, no rebooting/no disconnections. Pros: Easy of install. Easy of connectivity. Value = worth the upgrade Cons: none ## Features - Extends WiFi range coverage up to 2100 sq ft, and connects up to 35 devices such as laptops, smartphones, speakers, IP cameras, tablets, IoT devices, and more.Connectivity protocol:Ethernet,Wi-Fi - Uses your existing network SSID name so you never get disconnected as you move around your home or office - Provides up to 1900Mbps WiFi speed using dual band and patented FastLane(TM) technology for demanding HD streaming and online gaming - Works with any wireless router, gateway, or cable modem with WiFi - Simply plug in game consoles, streaming players, or other wired devices to 5 Ethernet ports for maximum speed - Supports WEP and WPA/WPA2 wireless security protocols ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00R92CLD6 | | Batteries | 1 A batteries required. | | Best Sellers Rank | #546 in Repeaters | | Brand | NETGEAR | | Color | black | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (5,328) | | Date First Available | January 6, 2015 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 12.09 x 10.2 x 3.31 inches | | Item Weight | 1.44 pounds | | Item model number | EX7000-100AUS | | Manufacturer | Netgear | | Number of USB 3.0 Ports | 1 | | Operating System | PC; Mac | | Product Dimensions | 12.09 x 10.2 x 3.31 inches | | Series | EX7000 | | Voltage | 100240 Volts | | Wireless Type | 802.11a/b/g/n | ## Product Details - **Antenna Type:** Internal - **Brand:** NETGEAR - **Color:** black - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer - **Connectivity Technology:** Ethernet, Wi-Fi - **Frequency Band Class:** Dual-Band - **Included Components:** Quick start guide, WiFi Mesh Extender (EX7000-100NAS) - **Model Name:** EX7000 - **Special Feature:** WPS - **Wireless Communication Standard:** 802.11a/b/g/n ## Images ![EX7000 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/618Wi-VPn6L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Des this range extender uses all the avantages of a AC3200 router, is it capable of repeating two bands on 5Ghz?** A: Unfortunately no. While your router may be a tri-band (1 2.4ghz and 2 5ghz), this only supports extending (1 2.4ghz and 1 5ghz). Like you, and we and the rest of the tech world are still waiting for a tri band extender but has yet to come to market. To note, of course you could simply buy a tai-band router, and then in settings convert it to an extender, the obvious down sides being mainly cost and the large size of a router vs a dedicated extender. **Q: How far does it reach? 30/40/50 meters? Can anyone estimate what they are getting?** A: Sorry for the delay, going from my kitchen which is where the range extender is to the far side of my garage and even another 10 feet outside of it, I am looking at approximately 40 ft & 50 ft with the signal at 55 dBM & 64 dBM respectively. I hope this helps you. **Q: Any good reports on the EX7000 from people who are NOT part of the "Friends and Family Test program" I am very interested in this, but .....** A: I don't speak "tech" but make of this what you will. Our house has ceiling heat and a kitchen with appliances against the wall that is in the middle of the house basically. Bottom line kitchen is dead zone and the wires for ceiling heat made connections from the modem on the other side of the house near impossible. I have xfinity 105 and had 2 techs here trying to make it communicate. We decided we had 2 options, an extender or hard wire the other side of the house through the electrical outlets. Purchased the EX7000 because if I have to invest I'm going with best I can find and afford and this was it. Placement is in my kitchen near the doorway to the part of the house that has signal, we now have excellent wireless in all areas of the house and I game online wireless without any wifi signal issues even if everyone else in the house is online. I hope you have the same luck :-) **Q: is this wifi extender good to use in my RV? RV parks are traditionally bad with wifi reception and I want to beat that. Wat do u think?** A: Yes!!! I am using it in my RV to pick up free wi-file and it boosting my signal to full bars as though as I am sitting next to the AP. The speed is insanely fast. Thank God I didn't purchase additional T-Mobile lousy "unlimited" on the hotpot device. Look at my review and the image I uploaded. By 50 feet I am getting full bar from the building ( not sure where the AP is located) but I believe it is somewhere further away. With my Note 4, I am getting one or two bars. My kindle HDX 7" getting two. Sometimes the signAL shows no bar but still working and sometimes just stopped. With this thing, the signal is full bars as listed on the router admin page. I could tell the difference because of the page loading. Buy it!! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent performance.

I’m streaming meetings all day, working with cloud services, have two teenage gamers in the house, plus wife is also working. I upgraded the whole network at the same time. I did a lot of research and ended up settling on Netgear Nighthawk equipment throughout. Big mistake, less than 6 months later I’m replacing all of it. At the same time I bought: Netgear CM1100 modem Netgear XR500 router Netgear EX7000 extender Netgear S8000 switch First issue was the modem. I have a gigabit line and initially we where able to get ~650mbps down. But after a few weeks the modem started requiring constant restarts. Eventually download speeds dropped to 0-30mbps. Resets didn’t help. I replaced the unit with a Motorola MB8600, has been rock solid ever since. The EX7000 has been useless as an extender since the day I first set it up. It constantly loses backhaul connection to the router, leaving all connected clients offline. I’ve tried it in several parts of the house, even in the same room with line of sight of the XR500. A restart would and it’d work for 24 hours, at best. In the end I wired the backhaul and ran it as an access point. The performance was poor, so eventually I just unplugged it. The XR500 hasn’t ever been a great performer, wireless speeds top about a 300mbps down and 30mbps up. At best. Even wire clients would rarely get over 500. It also needs to be restarted weekly. There are large parts of the house the signal can’t penetrate. And, as we’re getting ready of school to start, in need some parental controls. The Nighthawks don’t have any. Like at all. So I just about two weeks ago installed a Gryphon router. Immediate improvement. It’s faster, more reliable and has a way better admin setup. Wired I’m now getting 930mbps down, latency around 10ms and a health 40mbps up. Wireless clients around 650mbps. So far it’s been rock solid and has a way, way, way better admin interface. It’s also caught and blocked several bits of malware entering my network. The S8000 switch is fine, but expensive. I’ll keep it, but a cheaper box would have been just as good. So I’m done with Netgear. Hundreds of dollars wasted. Work was hard. I’m sending all of this junk to the charity shop.
