Great value, great performance
By Bruce Bennett on Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2019
We recently had a video doorbell installed by our front door. The installer pointed out that because of the distance of our modem to the front door, the network signal was not as strong as it should have been for proper functioning of the doorbell. With some reservations, he recommended an extender. After doing some research I realized that an access point would be the better solution. I installed the Netgear AC750 using a network switch in my office which is close to the front door, Set up was quick, easy and snag-free. Can’t speak to set up or utility as an extender but as an access point it works great. I measured the signal strength using an app called Speed Test and the difference after installation of the AC750 was impressive. A friend with considerable experience in IT says units like this are usually on borrowed time after 18 months or so. Time will tell but I like what I’m seeing to this point. Great value (I got a refurbished unit) and impressive performance.

Careful if you get a "renewed" product.
By Eric K. Foster on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2019
My "renewed" product came without any documentation at all. Just the device in a box. I followed YouTube instructions exactly, but the set up did not work. The reason was that there were SSIDs already on the device that were not mine - apparently, "refurbishing" did not include a simple factory reset. So I spent nearly 2 hours setting this thing up, including time on the phone with a guy from India, at times difficult to understand. I also cannot access the web-based set up again, now that I am not on the phone any longer. The "Community" support is unorganized. Eventually, I got the extender working. A few months in, I received an email from Netgear that the device was not secure. Labyrinthine instructions were not helpful and, in fact, did not work. Received yet another email on the same issue a few months later. What? We have to manually update this thing a few times a year? Device no longer seems to work about 15 months after purchase. In addition, I see that the device costs considerably more than when I bought it. So overall, I am very unhappy with the product.
