Best way to extend any current wifi farther
I must say that I am extremely impressed with this little gem!! I just moved from 2600sqft to over 3200sqft and struggled with coverage throughout the house. This extended both wifi signals to every inch of my house! Simple, quick, and easy setup compared to most routers, up and running in less than 3 minutes! Best feature is that it automatically searches for the strongest signal and connects without missing a beat! Now streaming 4K Netflix with almost no buffering! A must have in my book for any home over 2000sqft!!

Very good product. Easy to set up. Heard stories about wifi repeaters bumping out of the network, not this one. Haven't had a single problem. Wifi signal reaches the farthest corner of my two story home. Very pleased.

Great device!
I really like this product. It does its job very well! The box came with only the range extender and a few pamphlets of information on setting it up. My initial impression of the range extender is that it is a little bulky compared to other products that I am familiar with that do a similar function. The device plugs into a standard two prong electrical outlet. It has a LAN plug on the bottom for connecting a wired device to the wifi network. On one side of the device there is a WPS button and directly underneath that there is a device reset button which performs a factory reset. Along all corners of the range extender are vent holes to keep the device cool since it will most likely be in continuous operation. Turning the extender on was very easy. It is a simple as plugging it into a wall outlet. After powering the device, the light on the front will blink orange every few seconds. Scanning for wifi networks with whatever device you are using allows you to see the extender and select it as a network device. The instructions list a web address that allows the user to log into the range extender itself and set it up. This process is extremely simple and would really be a breeze even for someone with very little tech experience. After following the prompts on the screen, the range extender will scan for surrounding networks and list them for you to select the wifi router who’s signal you are wishing to boost. After selecting the router you wish to connect the range extender to, you simply type in the password for the main router. This range extender also gives you the option of not only broadcasting a 2.4 GHz signal, but also a 5 GHz signal simultaneously. After setting up the range extender it will show you what Linksys labels "Spotfinder" technology. This shows you a visual picture of whether or not your range extender is far enough away from the router to best extend the network. After finishing the setup of the range extender, the light on the front will stay solid green. If the user logs in again while connected to the range extender, they have many other options ranging from hiding the device SSID to changing passwords. Users can also update device firmware, control device access, and manage almost all other settings very similar to managing a normal router from the browser log in feature. The range extender allowed for me to get wifi signal to a back corner of the building that normally had terrible wifi signal. My device stays connected to the network and it is just about as good as standing next to the wifi router itself. I highly recommend this device. It works well and is very user friendly! I set this device up completely using a smartphone and the mobile browser website on the range extender was great. Get this product, you won't be disappointed!
