    Was easy to get up and running. Linked with my WiFi in my home and security was easy to set up. Filled the void spots in my home. I have a brick home and it works great.

    The range extender met a specific need in my home/office be boosting the wireless signal from my router on another floor. It was relatively easy to set up and operate and the results have been impressive so far.

    I expected more form this device. It actually seems to get in the way of my connections with my mac products. I have a little more strength in the far reaches of my house or outside but not much better speed.

    Very easy to install it uses your password on your modem you already use. It is pretty much plug and play. Plug it in let range extender connect with your system and follow directions. Matter of minutes done.

    Easy to set-up and begin using. The extender doesn't have a huge range, but it does boost the signal if your house is too large or brick/cement like my house.

    The product has certainly improved my internet connection increasing the speed my computer operates. Without it my signal strength was poor , using this range extender I now have full signal strength.

    The Belkin range extender seems to be working fine, except it occasionally loses the connection to the main router. A quick cycling of power fixes that. The range in the house is MUCH improved.

    I first purchased an extender from newegg but even after several hours I could not get it to work. Sent it back and went to best buy and asked the sales person which one i should get. He pointed me towards this product and said it would install easily. He was right and it was up and running in minutes. When I had to get a new router shortly after, I wondered if it would recognize and work. It was no problem and I did not have to reinstall or adjust anything. Yea!

    This router has good coverage throughout the apartment and works well with one or two wireless items at once. However if running Internet, Netflix, and phone at same time it does slow down noticeably

    This did not work with my modem. I called customer service and when the service tech asked if he could connect to my computer I decided this product was not for me.

    Before I bought this Belkin range extender my iPod didn't have the power to bring in the wifi signal at a campground, now the wifi signal comes in on my Apple Ipod any time I turn on the power to my iPod . Very pleased with its performance.

    I had a weak signal in the back yard and I use Internet radio that would drop out all the time. This made a big difference. Before I was getting 1 sometimes 2 bars out of 5. Now I get a solid 5 bars.

    In addition to this item not helping with the range within my home, it's blue (good) light constantly changes to orange (not good). We have to unplug it and then it immediately changes back to blue. It puts an "XT" on your existing WIFI but we don't even use it at all - no help at all. Cheaply made but not cheap to buy. TOTALLY A WASTE OF MONEY unless you purchase it only to see a light change from blue to orange with no other purpose!

    Decent Range Extender

    I've had this product for about a month now and like it. We have a 3000 sq ft house and had some issues with rooms that were far away from our home router. This is the first range extender that I've purchased. I've been a longtime Linksys user, but for the price of this Belkin (including the dual band), I decided to give it a shot. Installation was extremely easy (completed within minutes) and no issues configuring to my home network. Overall, our download speeds have really increased in those "dead zones" since it's been installed. We do very occasionally note some lag still from those far away rooms but it's definitely doing its job increasing the wireless range.

    This range extender is easy to set up and helps extend the range of your wi-fi. My internet hook up is upstairs and my son's room is the farthest away. Now he is able to get a better wi-fi signal in his room. Also, we have an enclosed back patio with a metal roof. Before we enclosed it the wi-fi signal out there wasn't bad, but after we did and with the roof being metal there was almost no wi-fi signal. This range extender did a great job of strengthening the signal and it is better than it ever was even before the the patio was enclosed!!!
