I have a Netgear WN300RP extender that "extends" my UVerse wifi signal that is sent out via hard wired modem/router. At least daily, my phone will say that I am connected to the wifi extender signal, but I'm really not as web pages won't load, email in-boxes won't update, etc.

I am CONSTANTLY having to reboot it, which means unplugging, waiting 20 seconds, and then plugging back in.

I've tried factory reset, but it's not fixing the problem. Is it just a poor piece of hardware? I spent about $70 on it...seemed like a good product, middle of the road.

Please assist...thanks.

Do you have a possible solution or are extenders just garbage? I'd be willing to spend the money for a decent extender, but not sure they are worth it. 99% of the extender's use is for phone browsing.
