The Netgear Repeater brings the desired expansion of the range. I have the repeater connected to a laptop via a LAN cable. Thereafter, the repeater is turned on. The installation was completed without any problems and a short time later we had another access point in the house. Just buy it from me. Who can lay no cable is very well advised with this part, especially the 4 LAN ports on the back are the HIT !!! Buy recommendation from us !!!
