Worked well
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My network signal was so weak in the back of the house that no wireless devices could connect. I purchased the extender and plugged it in and it came up as a device on my network. Other than having to put in my security code no other configuration was needed. Awesome investment. Now I have a good signal at the back of the house as well.

Works just as I had hoped...
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have my router in an upstairs bedroom so the WI-FI in the basement was very weak. I bought this range extener to increase the WI-FI signal in the basement and it did just that. Setting up the extender was a little frustrasting but not too bad overall. Recommended.

Great wifi extender!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have a dual band router and the only band we could use in most of our home was the slow side. My laptop was struggling to make the connection to even the slow side. We purchase this unit and I am happy to say that we can use both bands on the wifi router. No more slow connections anywhere in our home! Love it!

Great Range Extender
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product does exactly as promised. I've got a Linksys 6530 and it works seamlessly with it. The "spot finder" feature is extremely helpful and will assist you with finding just the right location for your extender. If you need one, do yourself a favor and spend the money on it. For the price, it's worth it.

Close but not a solution
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately the product did not solve the problem as we continue to have buffering issues. We probably have to invest in a more robust solution to get buffer free reception from my streaming device.. Bottom line, the advice that this product would solve the problem was incorrect.
