I can't connect even if I follow the advice of the application.
I'm having serious problems connecting to a b box. No wifi recognition via the nighthawk application.

Excellent product
I've been using it for a while now, but it's a great product, it works very well, the tri-band technology is top notch with no loss of bandwidth and a very good application is available (not compulsory, you can also do it via WPS). The only problem is the delivery which took a little longer, but otherwise ..... LDLC at the top.

and still, zero stars would be better
I bought this product to replace an old tp link repeater that was starting to disconnect unexpectedly... This product is new and therefore normally functional, but it is worse than a defective tplink product after 3 years.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a new product or not. I see on the internet that several people have had the same experience as me. So it's not a problem of the device received but of the "design" of the device itself.
In addition, with iOS, it almost never works (you have to turn off the phone regularly otherwise it doesn't recognise the WPA key)...
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the WPA key or not, but it's a good idea to use the WPA key. I have a CISCO switch and it just takes a minute to boot up...
In short, absolutely avoid!Review automatically translated -

Good but not 100% functional
I use this EX7700 to extend the wifi of a livebox 5 from the living room to my office.
The livebox itself offers two wifi networks 2.4 and 5 Ghz under one SSID in the factory setting. The experience with the wifi "Mesh" function was disappointing. At the initialization the installation was functional with a real extension of the range and a maximum flow. But after a few hours, I was sometimes connected but without any throughput. It's hard to diagnose, but this didn't happen until the EX7700 was installed.
I've been advised by a thread on a forum to separate the wifi channels on the box and the EX7700, and to use different SSIDs for these 4 networks. It works better, or rather I know why it doesn't work when it doesn't: in this configuration it is very frequent that the 5GHz network of the EX7700 "drops" after a few hours / days. Symptoms: the extender asks for a wifi password and reports an incorrect password. When you reboot it, it comes back, and then later goes away again. I think this is the same thing that was causing the malfunction in mesh mode. A reset to factory setting did not change anything.
Not so bad for me as I rely much more on the 2.4Ghz network which has a longer range to reach my office. (I should mention that I did not ask LDLC for a return).
For a product of this level, one would expect a software upgrade solution.Review automatically translated -

Unstable - not meeting expectations
I am used to and satisfied with the brand, but I am disappointed with this product. Without doubt the wrong version, it does not correctly repeat the 5GHz wifi signal of my main NETGEAR router. No stability, repeated disconnections of computers, although the repeater is near the main router, the same brand, firmware updated, ...
In short, a lot of time and money wasted for a device that is incompatible with my Netgear configuration. I'm moving on.Review automatically translated -

disappointed
I went from 30mo/s to 5mo/s even though the item costs more than 100€, so I kept my old repeater.

A small revolution
A little doubt before the purchase because of its price, but no regret because the possibility of having a single extended network under the same name (the repeater takes the identification ssid of the internet box) is worth it. You can move around your home with your mobile devices without having to switch from one network to another, the switch becomes transparent.
I've been using it for a while now, but it's not as good as my old netgear wn3000rp (and by the way, a big thank you to LDLC for the fast delivery), despite having to go through walls and doors.
A piece of advice: do not use the application proposed by Netgear to install the repeater (under Android), it is not perfect. In the absence of a wps button, a configuration with an ethernet cable via the browser is preferable and takes only 3 minutes.Review automatically translated -

Very satisfied
I was looking for a wifi repeater for my 120m2 flat where the rooms were receiving poor wifi. I had bought one 5 years ago without getting the expected performance.
I ordered the Netgear EX7700 almost blindly as there were no reviews on our favourite site... and I am impressed with the product. Getting started is very easy, especially with the smartphone app, although I prefer the browser-based configuration which is quite possible.
The performance is dazzling, I must admit... the connection to my Synology 1900AC router works very well. The whole family is delighted.Review automatically translated
