It's selling for 80% off because it is factory refurbished. Regardless, the overwhelming majority of reviews are positive, with a 4 star average. As with many tech products there will be negative reviews due to not understanding the product, such as--in this case--not realizing it will create a separate WiFi network name. This might be desirable if using as a home repeater, but is not desirable when using it in multiple campground locations (i.e., I don't care what the SSID at an RV park is, I want the repeater to be the one my devices are used to connecting to).Ned said:Before buying anything on Amazon, read the reviews. There is a reason that Netgear device is selling at 80% off.
