You need to check it out.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this item to reach my studio where I film my videos. I reliably get signal over 100’ away from the unit. I have been as far as 500’ from it and was able to stream video on mobile devices. I thought it had to be a fluke. It is not. If you need more range. This is what you need.

usable wifi again
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With so many wifi users, limited bandwidth, and some large beams in the house, some parts of our house were no-go zones for wifi. This extender was easy to set up and works with our Linksys router. Now, we can all work at the same time.

Easy setup
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy setup range extender. I was setting it up where the modem is on one side of the house, putting it in the middle of the house and it was able to beam the internet to the other side with no issues. Kept the internet more stable that way.

Great for detached guest house or large home
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were having problems with WIFI in our guest house. Everything from the wireless printer, ipads etc would freeze or be sooo slow. So, we decided to buy this extender and placed it in the guest house which is a few feet from our main home. Now all of the WIFI compatible products work perfectly! Nice lil gadget.

Very easy to use.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was having a slight problem when using the internet in the far end of my house. After re-locating my router without any noticing any improvement, i decided to try this range extender. I should have tried this first! Nowhere in my house do I have any problem accessing the internet. Great security setup, too.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Think internet range at house better, but took several attempts to connect with internet, had to try my phone and kindle, does not come with any book, just a few pics how to setup/ connect. If you have problems you login on computer, but wants some passcode I dont know exists, so only other thing is to call which I need to do, just hate to think glhow long that will take!

Great Wifi Extender and Great Price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I purchased this product I was actually looking for a more expensive wifi extender assuming it would work better but the majority of the extenders were out of stock. So I settled with a cheaper one and it turned out amazing! This wifi extender was up and running in less than 10 minutes!! I have a netgear router and this extender did not have any issues connecting to it. My house now has amazing wifi speed throughout the house. It also is the size of my phone, just a little wider so you barely notice it.

Strongly recommend against this product
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am extremely disappointed with this system. I’ve used a plethora of different Wi-Fi, routers, range, extenders, mesh gear systems, and in my opinion I am pretty text savvy. I am constantly having issues with connectivity and constantly having to reset and reboot this. If it’s not having one issue with connectivity, I’m having to do a hard reset because of another problem. I highly suggest spending your money on a different product.
