gets the job done

This is my second Nighthawk range extender. I know have 2 of these throughout my house to ensure full WiFi coverage including the outside deck seating area. Fairly easy to set up -- took me 2 attempts. Generally works well, Devices generally won't switch automatically between the 2 extenders, which is the only 'down-side' for me. But other than that, they work well as intended and needed.

Stand-out Solid Machine

Among the random supply of wifi-extenders I have come across naturally, this one is by far the best, and the first to truly be worth it in any way. It has up to date specs and good software to make it work seamlessly with my current network, and appears powerful enough that it can actually be useful. Overall, a high price but worth it.

8/10 Great for WiFi

Great for extending WiFi, but when playing games it can cause lag bc the signal is being retransmitted. 8/10 otherwise

I Got 2300 Plus Square Feet Wi-Fi

I live in a 2,400-square-foot house and was experiencing issues with my internet connection. Some of my computers were losing connectivity, my television was buffering constantly, and all my Wi-Fi devices struggled to stay connected. However, everything changed when I purchased and installed the NETGEAR Nighthawk X4S WiFi Mesh Extender. After the Netgear GearHead tech support team configured it for me, all my electronics started operating like new again. This extender was a valuable investment, and I highly recommend it, as well as any Netgear product, for a better internet connection!

A Classic

While no longer offered the C7800 still holds up as a powerhouse all in one modem router and is most certainly still worth a pickup for people looking in the second hand market.

It does the job

I was able to snag the Nighthawk X4S for $6 at a second hand store and luckily it works. The setup was simple enough and seems to be working as normal.

By Waheed A.

I have been cautious of modems Wifi bundles, as either one of them is usually under powered. This however was not the case with Netgear.
