Good… but.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works… kinda. The problem isn’t with the unit, but rather with the concept. I should’ve listen to the tech in the store and put together a whole new wifi network with better coverage. The problem with expanding coverage by putting a range extender on is that it causes significant interference on the network. Things got so bad I just had to unplug this unit and go a different way with the whole project. In the end, if you’re trying to extend your wifi coverage, just buy a complete system with multiple nodes already included (it’s only about $100 more).

Didn't solve my problem
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was having problems with wifi dropping and lag. I bought the extender to help in hopes it would fix the problem. I am not a very technical person, and it did help a little, but I still have issues. The problem may not be this item though, it could be my router, or internet service so I can't really fault this item without knowing for sure.
