    The set up was a breeze with their wizard but its range is why I rated it just average. I'm going to check 'Yes' for willing to recommend to a friend because there's no 'Maybe' or 'Yes - with conditions.'

    It is easy to set up. However, if your modem isn't equipped to manage 5ghz then it may have to be reset every few days, which can be really annoying. When others, it works great.

      Hi,

      That is a very weird behavior for the range extender. Once configured properly, you should not need to reset the device again. Allow us to have our Second Level Technicians assist you with further troubleshooting.

      Just send us your case number at [email protected] along with the link to this review.

      We hope to hear from you soon.

      Regards,

    This extender works great. I located the device downstairs in the living room since my router is upstairs about 35 feet away. It provides a nice, strong signal across the entire lower level and even in the garage and outside. Very easy to configure.

    Best I've Tried So Far

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    In my experience, these devices haven't been great, maybe because I'm not willing to pay for higher priced models. This is easily the best one I've tried in terms of easy setup and range. It doesn't seem to go out of range anywhere in my house, but as with other models, the actual performance for streaming, texting and emailing can be variable. Ideally, the underlying modems and routers would be improved to the point where devices like this weren't necessary . . .

    I needed a range extender because my router is in one part of the house and the signal is fairly weak on the other side. The only drawback is that I have to change networks when I am on opposite sides of the house.
