About NETGEAR Wifi Range Extender EX3700
Overall Feedback:
67% positive
69% liked the data transfer speed, although 31% desired faster connectivity
The speed from the extender is slightly slower than the router due to relaying of data back and forth.
I connected to Netgear and got a maximum speed of 110 to 120 Mbps from various speed test results.
I am getting 70-80 Mbps at connected clients which is sufficient for my needs.
The extender doesn't even come close to 75% of the speed of a direct connection to the router.

64% were satisfied with the ethernet ports, but 36% weren't
I am using the 5Gz connection via the ethernet port and it is working great.
I will always consider TP-Link in the future because their mesh systems have ethernet ports on the back of their mesh points, so I wouldn't even need the extender.
An additional ethernet port is available for connecting wired devices.
I don't see the point of using the unit as an access point since it only has a 100 Mb port.
64% appreciated the security features, while 36% raised concerns
The extender provides extra security and peace of mind with WEP and WPA/WPA2 security protocols.
The security level of our wi-fi extender is low and outdated. After researching the issue, I found out that it runs a WPA2-TKIP, which is an old and outdated form of network security compared to WPA2-AES.
70% found it easy to setup
Setting up was easy and intuitive. I followed the instructions step-by-step and was up and running in about 15-20 minutes.
The setup process was incredibly simple and it took me only 3 minutes to set up the extender. A WPS button is required for the setup.
The installation process is very easy and takes just a few minutes.
I found the Wi-Fi extender easy to set up and functional for extending Wi-Fi.
74% found the dual band capability helpful, but 26% faced issues
I was able to connect to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands as my router supported it.
I can extend both the 2GHz and 5GHz frequencies with the extender if my modem has the option.
I can now use both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands with 100% signal strength, indicating an improvement in the Dual-Band Capability of the extender.
If there is a connection difficulty on 5G, trying on 2G has almost always resolved any issues with speed or connection strength.

68% appreciated the coverage range
The coverage is good, but not as much as described in the product description. I have a 1300 sq. ft. apartment and the extender sends signals to almost every corner, although the strength varies.
The extender works perfectly to provide coverage in a specific area.
The wifi extender adds another 1000 square feet of wifi coverage.
