Posted .Hi Gforce,
As long as the unit is placed on the spot where it gets optimal signal from the router, equipped with the latest firmware, and away from physical obstructions, it should provide a better coverage. Please email us your contact details and the link to this review for reference at [email protected]. Our Escalation Engineers would like to take a closer look at your experience and help you figure out what's causing this to happen.

Posted .Hi, Jayradwayii,
We're glad to know that the range extender works. The range could've been affected by some interferences but relocating the device will possibly help to improve it. Email us with your phone number and the link to this post at [email protected] so we can help you optimize its performance.

- Cons mentioned:Connection
Awful. Did not extend range and spotty connection.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This did not extend the range of our primary router (actually worse connection in some areas) and does not carry a reliable connection, especially for streaming, often dropping the signal and requiring a restart or reconnecting to the network.
