Works great for a house my size. Easy to setup and customize. Love the genie app except app won't let me put spaces in my password but the site will. Spaces are important to me. smart wifi is great so I don't have to worry about what product uses 2.4 and what uses 5. love prioritization and Qos settings because I do a lot of streaming not gaming

Powerful radio, weak firmware

I needed to boost a weak wifi signal from the rv park. It does its job in that regard. Bug in the firmware prevents the wifi security for local connections from accepting spaces (not sure on ap to ap side). It offers almost no local connectins options (e.g. no separate IP range so printer would get IP from RV wifi, this also causes a problem for administration of the unit if outside ap is not giving out ip addreses... setting look like it should be able to but won't allow the change). Service is State's side which is a plus. Depending on the needed functionality I would still recommend.

This router gets the job done. It was a little pricey and hard-ish to set up but once it was set up it works well.

I bought this after I bought the router version since I had such a good experience with it. As expected, the extender lived up to its brand as well! It helped extend the range of my Wi-Fi connection a great deal and has been working without any hiccups! Once again, highly recommended!

Okay Extender....

First off, the size is ideal, not too big and not too small, I like the connections and looks.
On the down size as others have mentioned security needs a patch and the coverage is over-rated, I go outside my house expecting to get 12,000 square feet and the signal was at 1 bar.
For the price I paid i'm okay with this extender.

This is a great extender. Not only did it boost me internet signal in the detached building where I wanted it, the signal is so strong that it even is strong enough to override the primary signal when I'm in the same room as my router. Very easy set-up, plug in, enter passwords follow instructions on where to place it, connect your device and you're done. I love it, great recommended by the sales person.

Router Repeater

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This was 'spur of the moment' buy. Went into store to buy a simple Fitbit battery charger when I lost mine on an airplane. But router repeaters were in my line of sight. After getting a sales associate to notice me (that was aggravating), got associate who steered me to another Fitbit type product- more on that in another review. While talking to him about the router expanders, he directed me to the Amped Wireless. So far, I think it's working as it should but probably haven't given it a 'fair' test yet. Had I worked with it some more, I might have given it a 5 star rating.

I finally receive signal in my detached garage 100ft from the extender! I tried several products that claimed to cover and returned them all. This works 100ft away through a block and stucco wall. Great extender!

Can't Connect to my extender

I bought the 1750A Range Extender and I have been unable to get my extender working. I used the "chat now" feature online and after about 20 minutes of chatting, we suddenly had the chat disconnected and signal lost.
I called the tech support line and the call was dropped twice after getting put on hold. I got through on the third attempt and spoke with a rep who tried for over an hour to get it to work on my Samsung note tablet. He said "let's start from the beginning again". It was late Friday evening and we were going out, so I had to hang up.
This is frustrating as I paid good money for this item and I can't get it to work. Obviously, returning this is not an option. Oh well...will keep trying I guess.

#1- It works, this is the most important thing. With limited tech savvy my wife and I where able to get it from box to working. I only had it stop working 1-2 times and was easily fixed by turning it off and back on. Overall I am very happy with this purchase. I got an open box and it was a great value. By the way you can shut off the lights if they are too bright.
