  • Rated 4 out of 5 stars

    Works great. Don’t use the app.

    It will tell you to set up the extender using the app, but the app has issues as mentioned in one of the other reviews. If you go the url on the back of the device (mywifiext.local), set up is a breeze. Avoid the app and the wifi extender works great. I just wish it had 2 ethernet ports rather than only 1, but thats not a big deal.

    Awesome Range Extender - Fantastic Coverage

    This range extender works wonderfully! It was easy to set up and configure. Unlike range extenders I had in the past, this has not dropped off line at all in the couple of months since my purchase. I would recommend this for anyone who needs to expand their coverage to dead zones in their home.
