    It was hard to set up, kept saying password was incorrect, looking through all the FAQs on this product I ran into most of them. I finally got it working and it's worked ever since

    It increased the bars but much more importantly increased speed on the 5g portion of my intra office system. Also enjoyed the additional ports so that all printers and scanners are on the network.

    I was looking for a WiFi range extender product, and saw many that were several hundred dollars in price. However, a Bestbuy associate talked to me regarding my actual needs, and thus I decided on this Linksys. It was easy to setup, offers great performance, and has been relatively stable. A $70 product saved me over $300.

    This item worked well. however, it turned out I actually needed to upgrade my router to the newer AC type instead of N. With the AC, I now have a wider range so I returned this item.
