Easy Setup and Works!!
Device was super easy to set up and get configured! And made a huge difference! I live in an old apartment built back in the 70s and it has concrete walls so Wi-Fi coverage was not good towards the back of my apartment since my Wi-Fi router us towards the front. This extender made my coverage so much better and now I have consistent coverage all over the house and Internet doesn’t drop! Highly recommend!

Solid performance
WiFi wasn’t reaching upstairs very well, so I bought this mesh extender. Now I get the same speed upstairs as downstairs. Installation was easy, but I did have to experiment with putting it in 3 different plug locations before I found one that worked best. Good experience for much less $ than buying a completely new mesh system to replace my standalone router.

Works as it should
Not a big tech guy here. I just needed a stronger signal from my router that was located in the basement (long story).This gadget did the trick. It was very easy to get going. The app worked as it should. No hang ups. I’m actually contemplating getting another one so I can hardwire to it. Something I picked up on YouTube.

Works but not apparently if you have solar
I have solar and the reason I bought this was to make the signal I have from where the router/modem combo is at go to the solar. The signal strength near the extender is good. But, when you try to connect the wifi to the solar it barely has any signal. Mind you, the solar inverter is on the same wall as the wifi extender. Just one is on the inside and the other is outside. Also, i get signal from across the street to my wifi.
