Big improvement
I was constantly having problems with internet at the rear of my home. After hours of reading l learnt about range extenders and how they work. As reviews always differ l thought l would just take a chance and just purchase one. Netgear have many but the WN3000RP sounded like the best one for me. It was quite simple to set up and it made a big improvement on the data from the rear of my home. No more problems.The internet connection obviously is not as strong as being next to the modem in the house (lt never is), but it is just as usable. No mo...Read more
re getting timed out or web pages taking forever to load. I would definitely recommend it. Don't up your internet speed and pay more every month. Buy a netgear rwnge extender once and it will be always yours regardless of whether you move house or change network provider. And don't listen to your provider by upping speed as that will not increase your range.

Seems to work as it should, but setup would be tricky for those not so technically advanced.
I followed the online instructions and got nowhere, very confusing as to what model you have to what they call it online. The address they say to use does not work at all. I tried Youtube as well. Eventually I got it to work as it should. Don’t expect your Grandparents to buy this and set it up. They got nooooo hope.

good signal all the time
works great and the seller contacted me with help on finding the install software after a complaint...so they are on top of their game, and it works great with backtrack :) and its fast and hasn't lost signal yet, as a help go to netgears site and find the software and downloads section then just type the product in to get free help and software installer.

One of the most reliable Wifi range extender out there in the market.
Netgear was one of the more affordable ones in the market at the time i bought it with not much in my budget. It does the job by increasing the range of the wifi without cutting down on the signal strength and connection. Tried to set it up on my Iphone and it was actually quite simple to do that. Connections are stable and doesnt drop and its a very reliable yet inexpensive option.

Boost wifi in a snap
We moved to a bigger house so the existing router is not enough for the additional rooms. Instead of buying another modem router we would prefer to buy a wifi ranger extension considering the fact that existing modem is still working well. This wifi ranger extension is working even better than expected. Put aside the hassle of setting up (as our modem router didn't have compatible model to support cable free setup), once it's up everything is good. My parents can easily access internet from upstairs enjoying faster speed. Good stuff.

Does the job it's intended to do.
Bought to extend our normal WiFi and it does the job perfectly.
Took a while to set up only because I was trying to do it on the IPad, once I turned to the laptop it connected almost instantly.
Has a good range and it's set and leave. Will connect to several individual devices at the same time.
Very happy.

cannot use any more
brought this due to my netgear dgn1000 (also reviewed) not having a large enough wireless range and i was really happy with it until i brought my new smart tv and the tv continuously re-started and playing up, the wifi extender was interfering with the tv so unplugged it and tv has been fine since, also have a blu ray player with bd-live (requires internet so has wifi) and exact same thing happened, and i had brought a second hand surround sound system and returned due to the wifi speakers cutting in and out, most probably the wireless extender...Read more
again as it has done it to two other devices (the surround sound was first thing i brought that it messed with, and i just returned it and got another one) but i was not returning my blu ray player or tv as i brought on internet so kept fiddling and eliminating things, thats when i found out it was the wifi extender..... the speed is extremely slow which is quite annoying as well, so for the moment before i buy a new modem am stuck with dead spots extended the wifi, is fine as long as you dont have a wifi capable tv, dvd player or wifi speakers for a surround sound messes with other new wifi devices, slow connectionSimilar opinion?

No trouble with this one
After purchasing and returning two faulty Netcomm wifi extenders, I tried the Netgear wifi extender and was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to set up. Then once set up, I was able to forget about it.
Setup was as easy as pressing a button on my modem/router, and then pressing a button on the Netgear wifi extender.
Once they were connected, I could leave the Netgear wifi extender permanently switched on and never needed to touch it again. Worked as advertised.
Very easy to connect to my network, with the press of two buttons.
Takes nearly a minute to boot up when switching it on, but not a problem if you leave it switched on.

Good if and when it works
Bought the WN3000RP internet wireless extender to replace a Billion 3100SN that died after 5 days. I would have happily taken a swap on the Billion, but none were available.
The problem being solved by the extender is range through a double brick wall into the garage where the game kit lives. The 3100SN was hard to set up but worked 100% once it was configured. Lots of settings on it, noting "lazy mode" worked a charm for the simple need -- if you know what to tick on it and the main access point. Billion instructions all but assume buye...Read more
rs are network consultants. The 3000RP took an equal amount of time to set up even though it is far more automated and supposedly sets itself up with WPS, but it took countless tries over hours before it got itself right....and of 4 devices that worked fine on the 3100SN, only 1 worked through the 3000RP. Only a quick start was in the box. A more serious manual is available from Netgear website, but even that references other documents. In the end it is probably worse than Billion's docs. The 3000RP assumes it can cope with anything, and there are precious few settings exposed to the frustrated owner trying to get it working. Time spent on the phone with support, trying to get it working resulted in "it must be broken - take it back to the shop." I doubted it was broken, I thought it an incompatible design that cannot set itself up automatically with everything. The secret to getting it running with all devices was on a competitors support site; different extenders do different things to mac addresses, and if you run a secure network including mac controls you need to understand exactly what those differences are, and change settings accordingly. None of the docs reference this, nor did the help line.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
