NETGEAR AC1200 WiFi Range Extender, Wall-plug (EX6110)

After setting up the wifi TV in the basement I realized that the wifi signal was barely strong enough for the TV to pick it up. I hiked to the nearest Walmart and picked this up. Initial installation was pretty easy, however, I found that this extender would only pick up on the 2G network and not the 5G. I was about to return it but figured I'd search YouTube to see if I could find info on how to connect to 5G. Sure enough, I found a walkthrough and got it working. The directions that are included with the extender are not very detailed and Netgear could definitely do a better job of explaining how to set up the extender. Other than that, it's working as it should and the basement TV has full bars for wifi signal.

So far, so good. I have rooms upstairs away from my router downstairs. I placed the extender in an outlet at the top of the stairs and wasn't sure the connection would reach to the the upstairs rooms, but it does. As others have mentioned, the instructions in the box aren't very clear nor helpful for setup, but there are YouTube videos that explain and are very helpful. The lowest rating I gave was for setup ease. It's a bit combersome, but it's doable if your patient.
