not worth the investment
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I regret buying this and should have saved to get a "better" range extender. I am getting connection but at a very slow speed no matter how many times I reconfigure and reset the range extender. It's a waste of money.

Posted .Hi Marc,
Your feedback means a lot to us and we hope you'll allow us to help you. Here are the possible solutions that you may do:
* Place it in an area where there is still a good connection from the router.
* Use a handheld device (phone or tablet) to check for your router's signal strength. Once you can find a place where there is still 2-3 signal bars, then that's the perfect location for your extender.
* Set your router to use a permanent wireless channel such as 1, 6, or 11.
* Update or re-flash the firmware.
If the connection will not improve, you can send us an email at [email protected] with your contact details, location, and the link to this review so that we can assist you further.
Regards,
Belkin Support

Great product to have
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product! Easy setup and reliable stable connection. Getting full range of signal and fast enough. Connected nearly 5 to 6 devices and heavy streaming usage. It works perfectly so far. Earlier tried net gear but it can be compared with this product.

Seems to work ok
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stil have occasional problems with dropped network connection. Thought it would go away with this. Might need to relocate it. A little tricky to install. Not the clearest installation instructions.

Range better than expected
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this to access the internet in my backyard. We have TV's hooked up to the internet and the reception is great. The kids are able to connect with their laptops and smart phones almost 100 ft from the house.

Works as advertised on package.

Don't buy this product
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tried two of these. First one went bad, brought it back, same thing again. Eventually after a few days it will start losing connection, needing reset (unplug/plug back in). Finally, it will just fail never staying up and connected for more than an hour. Took second one back and bought a Netgear which is better range, stable and has never needed a reset since purchase.

This is the best dual band Wi-Fi range extender.

Easy - works great.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was able to set up and start using almost immediately. With the Ethernet outputs, I was able to connect two DVR's and a DVD Player to my network without having to run three seperate lines.

It boots up. So it has that going for it.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was very excited to get this. I plug it in ready to go, get to the web browser setup page, see my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks so I try to connect to the 2.4Ghz one first since I can go back and add a second one in a jiffy. I input my WPA2 password and wait...and wait...and wait until I get a message that it is not the right password. But ok, I'll try again with no luck. Maybe try with wifi turned off on the computer? Nope. Try the 5Ghz network for giggles. Nope. So I guess this thing just doesn't want to connect to my network and I'm not doing an overhaul to the layout of my network to get it to work if there was a way. Don't try customer support, they're no help.

Quick Setup but dies quickly
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The device was quick and easy to setup so my initial rating was high. Within just a few hours however, the blinking blue light turned amber and with that comes no connectivity. I can get ~ 60 minutes of use before it falls over again. I wouldn't buy another one.

Doesn't Work
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to rid my home of dead spots. Powered it up and followed the SIMPLE instructions and it would not connect to my existing modem/router. It would say that my password seems not to be working or is incorrect. Really? I'm reading the password on my modem/router. I even disabled the security settings on my modem/router and still couldn't connect to it. Tried for 3 hours!!! Gave Belkin support a call and they ran me through the same exact steps over and over and... NOTHING! I'll be taking this garbage back to BestBuy to exchange it for a NetGear unit. The support tech tried to shift blame to my modem/router. Huh??? Every other device I have can connect wirelessly to my modem/router. Sorry but I couldn't help but laugh at the tech. Why do they assume that everyone they are helping is computer illiterate?

Horrible IT Product!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So.... purchased this product because I thought it was the best on the self. Not! Brought it home, and, after going through the install process, was told that one of the special characters in my password wasn't valid??? really??? the same character that my other seven devices easily used?? Okay... try online chat for Belkin... it hangs (I have solid LAN connection for this... likely on their end... yet, still not mad#. Look up phone number.. call. Service agent was very nice #a plus). However, after spending 20+ minutes on the phone with her, come to find out the Belkin device doesn't support any special characters! really??? Maybe Belkin should review secure login suggestions. If they are this careless at the ront end... I am very concerned about any security of the device as a whole.

Don't Buy
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although easy to set up and to get working, I find myself resetting it constantly. It's to the point where I am not using it anymore and am just using the wireless devices closer to the main wireless router. It's Junk!

Not a reliable range extender.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This range extender when working is wonderful. My biggest issue is that is doesn't pick up a signal a great deal of the time and I haven't been able to rectify this issue. This was a replacement item for the exact product which stopped working only after 3 weeks of use.
