Great extender
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Need to extend my range so I figured I would try it so far it works perfectly .
I would recommend this to a friendDid not help / boost my range the way I expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live in a two-story 3400 square foot home and use a Netgear Nighthawk Router. I purchased this to boost my WiFi for a Ring doorbell and a Ring outdoor floodlight. It seemed no matter where I placed it I did not get the boost I was looking for. I returned the item. It helped with the upstairs, but not enough to justify the cost.
