Excellent

My PC is located quite far from the router with two wooden doors and thick walls as obstacles. I have to say that the extender does its job very well with a more than correct speed. The only thing I had to do was to change my pci wifi card which was not up to date at all. I've been using it for a while now and it's been amazing. I recommend this product. It's easy to set up and configure, it only takes about 10 minutes to set up. And no power outlets are lost!

Disappointment

Very disappointed with this wifi repeater. As it is the first material of this type that I buy I do not really have criteria to compare to another product. The installation is in any case easy and we find ourselves with an additional network whose SSID begins with the name of the original with an extension of type 4GEXT or 5GEXT according to the frequency. The wifi modem/router is in an upstairs room, so the goal was to be able to pick up the weak signal in a downstairs room. I tried different plugs to get a satisfactory compromise between the distance to the modem and the distance to the room. It works at first, but the speed is not there and very quickly there are untimely network interruptions. This is difficult for the computer stations to digest (obliged to disconnect / reconnect from the wifi or even reboot the machine). The only solution is often to disconnect and reconnect the repeater. We were very quickly fed up and the repeater returned to its box, we preferred to move the computer station. In short, a purchase for nothing. Next time I would rather have an electrician come and run a good old network cable.

        Very useful

        We installed this device over a year ago. Since then all the WIFI problems we had in one part of the house have been solved. The WIFI telephone now works perfectly.

        Very satisfied

        With a modem installed on the ground floor, the installation of the repeater on the first floor allowed a very good signal level on this floor as well as on the upper floor. We also tested the installation on the second floor to connect it to the PC, thus eliminating the need for a PLC.

        Does the job

        Bought this to extend the wifi to the garage where my teenagers have installed a TV, this netgear does the job perfectly. Excellent value for money.

        Quick setup

        After a bad experience with a TP-Link RE200 repeater (many disconnections), I switched to this Netgear model. The configuration is done in a few minutes, you just have to press the WPS button of the repeater, then the one of the internet box to connect to the 2.4Ghz Wifi. Repeat the operation a second time for the 5Ghz frequency. You just have to connect your devices to the repeater. The connection is very stable for the moment, very satisfied with the choice.

        Easy to set up - LDLC box to review.

        I ordered a NETGEAR EX3800 repeater for 61.90 euros (including transport) on 20 April. On the 24th I received the package.

        I have been a customer of LDLC for many years and I am still satisfied. The products are slightly more expensive than on some sites but I remind you that LDLC has a number of shops in France with staff. Everything is paid for, even through franchisees.

        I know enough about computers to be able to do it on my own, but delivery to their shop is possible. This is very useful when you have a shop near your home or workplace.

        I took off one star because the delivery box is often too big.
        The problem is when the package could fit in the letterbox.
        However, this is no longer the case with their disproportionate delivery box...and as a result, you are obliged to collect the parcel the next day or even on Saturday at the post office, if during the week, on your return from work, the post office is closed.

        So, LDLC should adapt the delivery box according to the volume of the ordered items.

        As for the product, it is easy to install and start up. Follow the instructions in the booklet included in the box.
        Connected in the corridor, the WIFI is well amplified so that it can be received in a room a little far from the Box (Orange).

        Impeccable

        Very fast installation thanks to the Netgear system. It amplifies 2 networks simultaneously. We have WIFI in the garden now. There is also the possibility to connect an ETERNET cable for a permanent connection. All this without losing an electrical socket!

        simple, fast and effective

        Some wifi repeaters are a pain to set up.
        This one is easy to configure and reconfigure. Good amplification and good sensitivity in reception.
        In short, a choice to recommend.

        Not relevant to me

        1° I didn't know how to install this product and I had to call in a professional.
        2° In my house this product did not allow to "cross" the walls.... In fact, a PLC was needed.
        3° It's a pity that there is no more relevant advice before making this purchase.

        Great

        Very easy to use. Online installation takes just a few minutes. The device works without any problems and offers excellent performance. A little extra: a PC can be physically connected to the repeater with an RJ45 cable. I have a PC that does not have a WIFI card installed: it was a nice surprise for me to find out that it was not necessary to buy a WIFI card to connect it to the internet.

        Ldlc is the best

        The equipment is easy to install and operate but I always buy from ldlc knowing the extreme efficiency and professionalism of the ldlc telephone service. I am very pleased with the service and the quality of the equipment and I have been able to install and operate it perfectly. Thank you ldlc!

        simple and effective

        my wi-fi router, badly placed, because off-centre, the connections in a whole part of the house were really random: plugged in and initialized quickly, here is finally connectivity at operational speed and level in the whole house! (and I am not a computer engineer)

        Ideal as a connection point or as a Wifi bridge

        I was able to test this Wifi repeater in several configurations in order to choose the one that suits me best in an extension between upstairs and downstairs.
        The EX3800 works perfectly with optimal performance.

        A network throughout the house

        My Freebox on the ground floor, the wifi was not reaching the floor. Better than the pass, this solution allows everyone to have wifi on the move. The electrical outlet remains usable. Two networks to choose from. Simple to implement, if the procedure is followed correctly

        Does its job perfectly


        I ordered this to extend my Wifi network to the first floor of an old house.

        Result, it's perfect: network games, video, music via DLNA server, ... everything works fine.

        I put a second one in the basement!

        connection

        The connection via WPS seemed ok but impossible to connect on the new extended network (only 1 suffix)
        "I'm not sure how to connect to the new WAN, but I'm not sure how to connect to the new WAN, but I'm not sure how to connect to the new WAN, but I'm not sure how to connect to the new WAN.
        I am VERY bad. Can you help me step by step

        I am completely satisfied with this WI-FI repeater.

        I am using it for WI-FI and I also connect my decoder to the RJ45 output of the repeater.

        Very practical

        I needed to bring the internet to a connected TV and the powerline was not working. With this WiFi box it was fixed in less than 5 minutes. HD movies seem to play without any problem. Perfect. I recommend it.

        Good Product

        Good product, easy to set up and efficient. It's a pity that the transition between the WIFI networks (even identically named) takes almost a minute. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a power socket or a RJ45 connector, but it's a real plus.

        no problem

        Excellent repeater which allows to extend 2 wifi signals (1 in 2.4Ghz and 1 in 5Ghz). No worries about configuration. The coverage is stable. The box includes a RJ45 socket to connect a PC not equipped with wifi ... The on/off button on the side allows you to turn it off if you don't need it anymore. Perfect delivery.

        Netgear EX3800

        Very simple installation.
        I don't know anything about networks but my grandson installed it in 5 minutes.
        I have wifi throughout the house with no problems.
        Delivery just in time.
        Great, I recommend it.

        The installation is quick and easy, good point for the French manual
        but one star less for the antennas, they tend to fall down by themselves, it's a pity to put a little glue on a new product

        Easy installation of a WiFi repeater EX3800

        I had opted for a Netgear WN3100RP wifi repeater. But the LDLC technician suggested the Netgear EX3800 repeater instead. I obeyed and I am very satisfied. The installation of a WPS network is easy (no technical knowledge is necessary), it works from the first time: link in 2 AND 5 Gb. The light that signals the link with my SFR box is comforting and the light that signals that there is a device receiving the repeated signal is really nice. I recommend it without restriction :-)
