Verdict

The Netgear AC750 WiFi Range Extender (EX3700) is a dual-band wall-plug device that supports combined wireless speeds up to 750Mbps across 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Key characteristics include external antennas for improved coverage, a 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet port for connecting wired devices like game consoles or smart TVs, and the ability to operate as either a range extender or a standalone access point. Main pros include its easy push-button WPS setup, universal compatibility with standard routers, and FastLane technology that optimizes both bands for high-speed streaming and gaming. Common cons include limited throughput compared to high-end models, potential setup difficulties with non-WPS routers, and the inherent 50% reduction in bandwidth typical of single-radio extenders.
