They're awful. You'll probably regret going down that road.


That advice might be true generally, but...
I bought a Netgear WNDR4300 router and two Netgear WN2500RP
extenders off eBay for $50 about seven years ago (very rough
estimate), used. Gotten much more than my money's worth out of them.
Have been using one extender for high-speed Internet, for several
years. Doing great. Been using the router for a security camera in
recent years.


I have a similar experience with a WN3000RP extender I bought a number
of years ago. My initial experience was bad. Any device connected to
it would disconnect every few hours. I threw it in a junk box and
forgot about it. A year later, I found new firmware was available and
installed it. It is in use at a friend's house and has worked
perfectly ever since - also used with a security camera. I wish I had
a good place to install one here.
