great camera for the home
on February 14, 2016
Posted by: fitefamily
Setup - This was so easy to do. I already have the wireless Arlo system and this camera hooked right up to the current system within a couple of minutes. I just launched the app on my iPhone and followed the instructions.
Features - This is where this camera shines. The picture quality is HD and very clear. The sound is great. I was in another room and said something that the camera picked up from a distance very clearly. There is little lag for the voice feature.
Expectiations - The camera met my expectations and then some. I have been very impressed by the whole arlo family outdoor cameras. And now this indoor camera is going to be a great add on feature to the Arlo system.
Price Value - For what you get I think this is a great addition to the already great Arlo system.
Recommed - I would recommend this to my family and friends. I've already had 2 other family members purchase the Arlo camera system for outdoors and this will be a good addition for them.
I received this camera for free from Netgear for my honest opinion on the features and set up of the camera.

Netgear DST add on Adaptor
on December 13, 2015
Posted by: fitefamily
First off let me say I got this free from Netgear as part of their friends and family participant program.
Setup - This was a little hard for me. I called Netgear tech support and they wouldn't help me since I was part of the F&F. They told me to call Best Buy Geek Squad. I called them and they tried to help me but couldn't get the adaptor to work or be recognized by my AC1900 router. They told me the adaptor was probably bad and to return it. After I continued to work on it my system finally recognized it. So I hate to say this but the support was bad from both sides.
Features - This DST adaptor has great features for a small adaptor.
Performance - This adaptor works well in an area where you don't have any WiFi coverage. It will defiantly speed up your wireless coverage in that area. Keep in mind it is about 1/2 as fast as your normal WiFi.
Expectations - The product met my expectations for what I was looking for. I now have two of them in my house.
Price and Value - I think this is a good price and value for what you get.
Recommend - I would defiantly recommend this product for anyone that needs coverage in an area that your normal wireless wont reach.

No more WiFi dead spots. The powerful Nighthawk DST AC1900 WiFi Router along with the DST WiFi adapter eliminates WiFi dead zones. Create additional WiFi coverage right where you want it. The DST Router comes with a year of worry-free set up and support from Geek Squad.

Great Router for large homes
on October 17, 2015
Posted by: fitefamily
I have received this product from Netgear for free with the Friends & Family program to provide an unbiased honest opinion and review.
Setup - I already had the AC1750 so the set up was very easy. I just unplugged the 1750 and plugged in the 1900. I put the DST Adapter in the room where I have a dead spot and it booted up very easy. The only issue I had was when I went to change the password it seemed like everything took but I had to use the old password again before the new one would work.
Features - I love that this router works in a large house and reached almost all parts. It has a strong Wi-Fi signal and speeds in all the rooms especially with the DST extender.
Performance - This is where this router and DST adaptor shine. I have this router in my spare bedroom in the closet. Even with the router in the closet the signal still gets out and covers the whole house. The DST adaptor helps with the signal where the router is weak.
Price-value - For what this router and DST can do it's defiantly worth the price. I paid more for my AC1750 which is a little slower and didn't come with the DST extender. Well worth the money for what this router will do.
Expectations - I was a little concerned since I already had the AC1750 on the difference in performance between the two routers. The AC1900 met and exceeded my expectations. The DST extender was just an additional bonus. I wanted a router that would work from my closet and reach the whole house and this one did the job.
Recommend - I would recommend this router and DST extender to anyone looking for a performance router to cover their whole house. With the benefit of the DST extender for areas where coverage is limited.

we own only one pc. and we want to move it upstairs to another room but have no phone line up there. can we leave the router in the other room?

Only if you're PC has wireless built in and you have wireless in your house. if the PC doesn't have wireless built in you can buy a wireless stick that plugs into the back of a USB port on the computer.

you just need a wireless router that has an Ethernet port you can plug into the back of your modem. Any wireless router should work.

Slow download on Samsung smart tv

I have 2 Samsung newer smart tv's, the download speed on the tv's is between 3 and 4 Mbps. iPhone and iPad run about 12. How do fix this? Is this product the answer? Help!! I want to watch HDX movies and they require 4 to 5 Mbps
I would look at getting the new Netgear Nighthawk X8. This should be a lot faster for you to watch internet TV.

If you already have internet in you house with a Modem all you have to do is buy this one and connect it to your modem via Ethernet cable that comes with it.

You should be able to open your laptop and find the Netgear wireless signal. Pretty much plug and play.

I can get online in the closest room to the neighbor but no where else in my house. What can I do to get a stronger wifi signal? (fyi: this is ok w/neighbor . She gave me ssid #)
you can try a DST Adaptor and plug it into the wall to see if it will extend her WiFi into your house.
