Just having a look through Amazon and found this, thought it was a good price, of course with Prime you get free delivery. On the otherhand, Ebuyer are also selling this at the same price and are offering free delivery (http://www.ebuyer.com/671887-netgear-ex2700-wireless-n300-network-range-extender-ex2700-100uks) so either are good in my view

Will this slow down the rest of the network?

Not necessarily, it will act as a relay to the rest of the
home. If anything, the wi-fi router will handle one central device (the plug)
rather than several devices (laptops, phones, consoles etc.) trying to connect
to it. Hopefully that makes sense.

I would strongly advise not to get this. It only extends the slower 2.4ghz signal
I think this is the one I have, got it aaaaaaaaaaages ago... then managed to break it (doh) so bought it again... then 2 months later the price went down. Grrr.... this is even lower than the price was when it lowered, so deal! I almost want to buy one to have it spare... I am a muppet

Not bad but as others have said, only has 2.4ghz support. Didn't need it at the time of purchase, but now I do... Think I paid this price a year ago so nothing really that special?

I have tried several wifi extenders, pretty useless as they only re-transmit a weaker signal
Spend a liitle more and get one of the 'powerline 'models, uses your homes electric circuit to transmit wifi

Agreed - powerline adapters work much better. You can either get a powerline adapter with wifi access point included or (as I did) use a regular powerline and connect up an old router to act as the access point. Makes good use of that old router that you replaced but never had the heart to actually throw away!

You'd put the extender in a place the signal is pretty good.

powerline adapters work much better. FULL STOP

In what way? Unless you mean a powerline adapter into a router/extender? This is a Wi-Fi device.

Probably right.
Not FULL STOP
