Netgear Home WiFi Range Extender
Netgear's EX3700 home WiFi range extender isn't the sexiest gift you could wrap up and put under the tree this year. But if your intended recipient has crappy, stunted WiFi, and up to 1,000 square feet of space in need of better coverage, a range extender able to provide up to 750Mbps performance using dual band FastLane technology certainly won't go unused and unappreciated. Plus, who wants to get a sexy gift for Mom?
Especially after how that adult toy subscription box service went over last year.
The Netgear EX3700 WiFi range extender can boost and connect up to 15 devices, including laptops, smartphones, speakers, cameras, tables, and IoT devices. It has universal compatibility with any wireless router, gateway, or cable modem, though may run into problems with routers / gateways with altered firmware, that are based on open source programs, or are outdated. Ahem, Grandpa giving daily wake-up bop!s to your Linksys WRT54GL.
The range extender has a small and not-bad-looking profile, plugging into any standard outlet. It also comes with a single wired 10/100M ethernet port for plugging in game consoles, streaming players, or other wired devices you want to give access to maximum speed. Netgear says WiFi range extender setup takes about 5 minutes.
