As far as I can tell, the best use for this device is a paperweight. It did nothing to expand my wifi range.

I can't answer how it works with the Netgear 300. However I have been using one with a Netgear WPN824N N150 Wireless Router for over a year without any problems. I also set one up at my church that has been running almost as long without problems. I recall that is was somewhat difficult to set up and it took several tries to get it correct. But once it was working it hasn't been any trouble. It runs for months without having to reboot.

The EnGenius EAP300 is a much better device, but it costs more. In answer to your question, I have used the the EnGenius as a repeater with several different brands of wireless routers. To avoid frustration, turn off the WPS first as it comes from the factory with WPS turned on as an option. Out of 10 I have installed, I have only had 2 replaced by the company. A much better ratio than the Linksys repeater I had been using.

I just picked up one of these today. I had no problems connecting to the wireless router (2WIRE) in another room. Good luck getting it to work.

My high speed cable router is a Cisco E3000 and it works fine with the Netgear N300 unit. I don't see any reason the AT&T router would be any different in performance as long as your broadband provides adequate speed. I can run internet TV channels, youtube, and music services just fine with the Netgear N300. There are two address set up methods (1) Connect the N300 to your computer and set up the address (I used this option which was very easy), (2) Connect the N300 to your stereo receiver and set it up using the interface on your unit (I would think this method varies depending on the end ethernet's device interface ability). I hope this helps -- good luck. // Bill

That rangemax by netgear is good for macs or windows based applications ....works with all wifi devises, bluerays, smart tvs, tablets, iPods and laptops....works with cable modems or DSL modems ...very wide range for big houses

I placed mine 2 floors below my wireless router in my finished basement, and it works fine--my signal strength there was 80%; the distance depends upon the strength of the signal coming from your router; you want to be sure, according to the instructions, that the signal strength at the range extender is at least 70% (it shows you this on the dashboard when you connect to the device). And once you have gone through setup and connected to the extended network, you can unplug the device and try it in different places without having to reconnect. The extender remembers your original settings. Really a freaking nice device, at least for me. Took less than 10 minutes to set up at a leisurely pace.

If you have another NETGEAR Powerline, then this should work. I had some 200Mbps NETGEAR Powerline already installed when I added the 500Mbps, and there was no problem. The NETGEAR support staff have been extremely helpful. You can search the Web for "netgear support" to find the page with free chat, email, and phone options; I've called 1-888-638-4327 on two occasions and had my questions answered efficiently and accurately.

Only suggestions are 1) try to connect to the booster, after powering it up, from your remote device (iPad, etc.) - hopefully a connection wizard will come up on your remote device which will guide you through it or, 2) call Netgear for help.

I am using this router in a 3600 sq ft home with Rastra construction and it works fine. I did add a wireless extender at the far end of the house to boost the signal for my daughters bedroom. Without the extender she got 3-4 bars and with the extender 5 bars.

Win7 and 8 support is spotty at best. With the drivers from Netgear's website, I could only get a 2Mbps download speed. I thought the issue was the OS, so I upgraded to Win8 but had the same issue. My two other computers can download at my cap of 25Mbps. All are wireless. All are less than 20 feet from the router and in the same room with no blockage.

You might want to check your set up. The router is approved by TWC as compatible. Mine has worked w/two for a few months and my problem has been intermittent timeouts. The fact that netgear has no customer support makes me rethink my purchase.

I have the older model of this router and it works fairly well except it doesn't offer good reception throughout my whole house so if you have a fairly large home I wouldn't recommend you buy it. You should also check to see how many devices in your house even support dual band. Because if they don't you would be better off just buying a cheaper 2.4ghz router instead. My phone is the only device that supports dual band in my home so I wish I would have just gotten a cheaper router.

I have no answer, not tech. savy. I only purchased the modem, nothing else, and my Netgear unit does work just fine.

Hi, I think there are better router choices around than this one. I found the user interface tough to navigate & it seemed like I needed to reset it quite a few times to keep it running so I ended up getting a different one from Netgear. I didn't try to use this with any Apple Products so I'm sorry but I don't know on that one. Take care!

Hi, For the price, the Netgear line of 54mbps routers should work just fine. There are faster WIFI protocols, but unless your internet is that fast you won't use but 10% of the netgear's bandwidthh (edit: fixed)

Not sure how all this works? Can someone please tell me what I need to install this and what does it do? If i understand correctly, I have to already have internet set up in my home, then with this device, i can get wifi for up to serveral devices? so its like a wifi hotspot?

I say yes under the following scenario. If at the closest point to your neighbors house you are getting 40/50 signal strength chances are pretty good you can extend the signal much farther into yours. While true the initial set-up needs to be near 100 signal strength, however after that the unit can be moved to optimize the range of the signal. Netgear has a really great app called the Netgear Genie exactly for that purpose. Any yes, your neighbor will need to let you come over to set the unit up. Good Luck.

Sorry. this question is beyond my level of expertise and experience. I recommend that you phone the NetGear people since this is where their expertise lies. They have been very helpful for me, a non expert router user.
