I use it in...:Large home
I purchased this wireless extender to cover some weak spots on my home including no connection at all on my backyard. I recently bought an AC1600 Cisco router thinking that it would to do the trick to cover the whole house. I placed the router at the office,front of the house on the second floor, and I was getting weak signal in the living room, back of the house first floor. I debated going with a powerline extender same brand as the router but I'm glad I found this. This extender worked perfectly with my Cisco router. The setup took less than 5 min thru the WPS button (no need for going thru the manual setup). It extends simultaneously both the 2.4ghz and 5ghz frequencies. It automatically adds the *_EXT* suffix to your existing wireless network so you know what device your are connecting to. This comes pretty handy since I can choose where I want to be connected to (router or extender) depending on what area of the house I'm at. In terms of signal strength, I get full bars and a link speed of 150mbps on my tablet, iphone and smart tv which is the max network card speed. In terms of distance, it reaches until the end of my property (.25 acre lot) and almost to my neighbors. I have over 10 wireless devices connected on my network almost all the time and I have no internet or intranet (NAS) lagging issues.
My next step is buying an AC network card for my laptop to test if it really can reach the maximum link speed advertised and connect my smart tv thru the ethernet port to this extender to increase the speed to my NAS.
In summary, go for it or wait for the next model up, AC1200 extender, coming out at the end of February 2014. Enjoy!
What's great about it: Easy to set up through WPS push button
What's not so great: Pricey!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What to buy
Should i replace my old NETGEAR router with a new one or would the range extender be sufficient to improve my internet connection? I keep losing the connection and my cable co. suggested that i get a new router.
I had the same problem as you. My 3yr old D-link router simply started dropping connection to my devices. I replaced the old router with a new AC 1600 router and added this extender. My suggestion is buy a new router first (which probably will be about the same price at the extender), and if it can't cover your place completely then add the extender.
