  • Flawless connectivity for laptop - Android not so much - 2 ways to skin this cat - AWESOME wi-fi coverage.
Long post including setup information for NETGEAR genie PLW1010 (for those of you network gurus, please don’t laugh at me). Hopefully this will help save some hair-pulling. Biggest thing to keep in mind is it WILL work, so don’t let your stomach get into knots. I originally performed the connection exactly as written in the book. It worked flawlessly. But when I tried to set up my phone, and then security, the wheels fell off the wagon, so to speak. If I were to do it again, I would do as follows: SET UP SECURITY FIRST. You WANT a secured wi-fi router… these things blast a wide wi-fi signal outside of your home, and you do NOT want a perv sitting out there downloading kiddie-porn off your unsecured ISP/IP address. There is a long history of owners being prosecuted for having an unsecured wi-fi router that let this occur! I set up my security second, and that’s where it got more complicated for me. 1. Plug in both the base unit and the wi-fi unit where they will live. a. Follow the booklet’s instructions for finding a good outlet, etc. b. At this point, if you follow the booklet’s instructions, you will be up and connected with your laptop, but you will not be secure. c. You will then have to go through some of the hair-pulling I did. 2. Secure the base-unit part of this duo: a. Connect an Ethernet cable (2 come with this package) to a laptop/desktop and to the base portion of this (it connects to your ISP’s router using an Ethernet cable also). At this point, you will have 2 Ethernet cables connected: 1 to ISP modem, and 1 to your computer. b. Using a browser, type in “mywifiext.net” > admin > password c. Click on Maintenance > Set Password and use “password” as the old. d. Change to the new password using letters, numbers, a special character or 2 and capture that somewhere (screenshots are good for this) e. Be sure to click Apply button to save your changes NOTE: In order to do the next part, the router software will require you to log back in with your NEW password. 3. Secure the wi-fi unit of this duo: a. Click Setup > Wireless Settings b. Change the SSID if you want (the name of the network you will see when you are looking for one to connect to) c. Change the password(s) of the wireless networks. d. I recommend leaving the other settings in here as they are, and click Apply button to save your changes. i. You will get a new screen showing your new settings. ii. Copy that into an email to yourself if you wish for future reference (screenshot of this is best practice). 4. Connect to your new wireless router a. Follow the instructions for connecting that are in your accompanying booklet i. Push WPS on wi-fi device you just plugged in, and WPS on your own device. ii. This will apply the new password you just created in the Wireless Settings page b. If you have to add the network manually: i. Choose to add a wireless network in Control Panel, or your handheld device’s connections settings ii. Pick the network SSID you just renamed (or left as it was) iii. Type in the password your just created in the Wireless Settings panel iv. Enjoy your excellent signal! MY ACTUAL EXPERIENCE AND WHY I WROTE THE ABOVE 1. INITIAL SETUP: The auto-setup is 100% easy and accurate. I connected quickly and easily. I was lucky enough to have wired my own 105-y-o house when I replaced plumbing. I ran circuits that serviced 1 or 2 outlets per room, with several rooms on a single circuit. (This used to be best practice, not sure now though.) Because of that, the outlet in the room where my ISP’s modem connects to the exterior cable (a bedroom downstairs) is on a circuit that runs to my (upstairs) office as one of the many rooms it passes through. (I added 13 new circuits, in case you wonder about this.) I plugged in the base unit, then I went to my office, plugged in the wi-fi piece, and I got the green light I wanted (perfect connection). I went over to my laptop, found the WPS Push button (software), pushed the WPS button on the wi-fi router (blue lights blinks in this mode), and I had an instant connection. 2. SECURITY SETUP mixed with ANDROID SETUP: The phone setup led to a security setup, and was more difficult due to my own lack of knowledge. a. I’ll state what is probably obvious to the network gurus, but not to a simple user like myself, and took a while to figure out: The WPS PUSH button searches for the WI-FI SETUP PASSWORD (internal to itself), and passes that to the device you are connecting. It is not some scrambled code that is unique to that moment’s push of the button. So whatever password the wi-fi router is set to (or you set it to)… that is what gets passed. Thus my recommendation to do the security piece first… the rest falls into place. b. This is where it got a bit more complicated for me. Once my laptop was connected, I tried to connect my Android phone. It would not connect at all, and I could not find the WPS Push on it. Darn. And I had 2 networks to choose from. No luck on either. I didn’t know what password to use. c. Since I had a wi-fi connection to the router, I went into the router setup from my wi-fi connected laptop (mywifiext.net). I changed the router password (from default of “admin” and “password” and tried my phone again. No luck. This turns out to be the actual MODEM’S password… that unit that is the “base” of the two that come in this box… downstairs next to my ISP’s modem. So of course it didn’t work on my phone. d. Then I discovered that I had another screen I could go to in my router setup: Setup > Wireless Settings. In there, I found both of the wireless networks newly available. One is “5G” and the other is not (5G has a faster speed). So I changed both passwords there. At this point I could connect my phone manually by typing in the password that I had just set. e. But then I lost connectivity on my laptop. Hmm…. Thinking it through, the WPS Push apparently picks up whatever that wi-fi router password is. Not some unique-to-the-moment code. OK. Opened my laptop’s network setup (click the little bars on the lower RH corner of the taskbar and choose “Open Network and Sharing Center”), navigated to my “manage wireless networks” and change the password in there for the earlier auto-connected wireless. I added the second, slower one as well. I then went back to my connection panel (the little bars in the lower RH corner of the taskbar), entered the password manually, and I was good to go. I tested my speed when I was done (over the Wi-Fi). It was 12mbps down, and 2.5mbps up. That's actually faster than my ISP provides on my plan, so I think I did OK with this purchase. ... show more

  • Does It's Job
I am pretty tech savvy, so I tried signal boosting with a couple netgears' running DDWRT. However, this didn't suite my needs as the attenuation of wireless signals is exponential. I have an older home with relatively optimal wiring drops, so this really came through. Definitely great for creating a mesh that will cover those grey areas. What you need to know: - It is CAPABLE of the Mbits rated. - Signal quality is decent, but throughput drops significantly. - It is able to stream 4k, but not with many devices competing for bandwidth. - Works great with Google Stadia as long as it is hardwired to the Chromecast. Pros: - Easy to setup. - Simply works. - Can work with power strips, but surge protectors degrade throughput and can cause packet loss. - Trial and error while choosing a socket with decent throughput, but the LED indicator helps a lot. Cons: - Web interface is hosted by netgear, I am not a fan of this. - Some packet loss is seen intermittently, I am not sure if this happens when high loads are placed on the power lines or not yet, but its my theory. - Many devices streaming at the same time (like with any WAP) degrades quality. Final Notes: I like it so much I bought another to put upstairs and completely removed my Cisco WAP. These two devices provide wifi to my entire home (including smart devices) Without issue and the transition between access points is seamless. My setup may be much different from yours though. Server rack -> Firewall -> Cisco Equipment (Layer 3 switch) -> Powerline adapter -> Wall Plug -> Powerline Module -> Devices Of 200Mbits I maybe get 30Mbits bandwidth, which is not great, but enough to satisfy most wireless needs. Wired directly to the Powerline module, I get a bit more with a bit more stable connection Which is why my Chromecast ultra uses this single line. ... show more

  • Works well, but instructions could be better and accesories easier to find
It certainly works for its intended use. I have a one story house that is over 4,000 square feet. It is hard enough to get coverage in the house itself, but we have a detached garage with an exercise room that is really far away and runs on a separate sub-panel. Setting up the device was not as plug and play for me as others suggest. Upon plugging both the "base" and "wifi adapter" in, I could see both a 2.4 and 5 network to join, but anytime I tried to connect, it was demanding as password. There was no mention of entering a password in the operating manual (other than a separate password for admin use). I tried my own network password. Nothing. I tried to see if I could WPS connect it to my network. Nothing. Eventually I checked the "wifi unit" and found that there was a password written there. It is super small print and "i"s and "l"s look alike. Eventually I entered the correct one and it made the connection. The device itself will give you an indication ranging from green to amber to red to nothing indicating the quality of the signal. In my house in the furthest regions, I was getting green. However, in my detached workout room the indicator was a red (indicating a poor signal)...but with that said, the internet runs fine there...videos seem to load and play fine...so from an actual functional standpoint it works well. My only frustration, as others have noted, is that it seems impossible to find additional wifi adapters with this particular model without either getting an additional base (which I don't think I'd have much use for), or paying the full $99 just for the wifi. ... show more
