Review on πŸ“Ά NETGEAR WiFi Mesh Range Extender EX7700 - Expands Coverage for 2300 sq.ft. and 45 devices with AC2200 Tri-Band Wireless Signal Booster & Repeater (up to 2200Mbps speed), including Mesh Smart Roaming by Chad Mills

So far, so good! - repeater

We installed and operated a Netgear EX6200 range extender for several years to get the ATT Uverse Wi-Fi signal to reach the other bedrooms and living room of the long ranch. It worked well, maybe for the first few years, but then, even with firmware updates, performance steadily declined, and there were big periods of the year when my kids couldn't get a decent signal. I've rarely managed to get or keep both signal sections connected to this expander. I decided to try this new Nighthawk as soon as it became available and it made a huge difference in our home. It was very easy to set up and pick up and maintain both bands of the Wi-Fi signal being transmitted throughout the house with very little slowdown. It's nice not to hear daily complaints about how bad the WiFi is in our house. We have a Nighthawk on the opposite end of the house from the AT&T router and it's picking up both bands at full power. This is a huge improvement over the old Netgear expander.

Pros
  • electronics
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
