What customers say
Customers generally find the Netgear AX1800 Extender effective for expanding WiFi coverage, especially when used with Netgear routers. Setup is frequently praised as simple, often guided by the Nighthawk application, making deployment easy. The core benefit is successfully reaching previously dead zones using WiFi 6 technology. However, performance stability is a recurring concern. Many users report inconsistent connectivity, including occasional speed reductions or necessary reboots. Some also note that the device does not always deliver a seamless mesh experience. While it improves range significantly, users should expect some speed loss compared to the main router. This extender is best suited for those prioritizing broad coverage within the Netgear ecosystem.
