   The Wireless Range extender (WGXB102) did not work at all. Previously I used the NetGear bridge and access point, which didn't work. I have the Wireless Range N Max router, from NetGear. Only the electric LAN Range extenders worked. Basically, I could have purchased a cheap LAN router, because esentially I have the same thing. I have a LAN cable connected to my wireless router, which connects to a LAN range extender. I purchased a NetGear LAN card for my other PC. If you are considering NetGear, I recommend just sticking with LAN routers/connections. There wireless does not seem up to spec. They also do not provide repeaters. NOTE: Only one Range N router supports wireless access - bridge/access point connections). I wasted a lot of money using NetGear. Especially considering the USB adapter signals were terrible. *(The LAN extender is half of the WGX6102 (Non wireless part). They do sell this in pairs. I would highly recommend that, if you have walls blocking the wireless routers. I really wouldn't recommend NetGear. They have limited repeater options. And there Range N Max does not support wireless - wireless access points. I had lots of difficulties with NetGear wireless, and I do have walls separating different computers. I ended up using there LAN electical adapters. Bottom line, I would just use NetGear for LAN connections only.

   It works great, easy to install,however, this product doesn't to last long. I have bought one and it lasted about almost a year and bought a replacement because wall plug wouldn't work for the second time. Second one, lasted for over a year.

   This is a great solution for folks with hard-to-cover wireless "dead zones" in their homes. I must have bought and returned 5 or 6 new routers, antennas and "repeater" range extenders - nothing worked. Then I bought this product and now my coverage is fantastic! Plus, the range extender can be moved around very easily from plug-to-plug, allowing you to re-situate it as needed for optimal coverage. I didn't do a bench test or anything, but it seemed to be very fast. I took off one star because it was tricky to configure for a secure connection, and the instructions were very vague (and in one case - the IP address of the range extender itself, just plain wrong - I had to figure that out by looking it up on the web). I'd say it's a definite buy if you are fairly computerinternet savvy, or if you don't have wireless security enabled.
