It’s ok WiFi can be really weak when I’m one zoom and it cuts about sometimes so I have to reset it

This works great in our in law apartment in the back of my daughters garage

Enjoying the use of wifi around the house and yard

We purchased this as a gift. The receiver has said the product is working great!

I liked it a lot! The Internet speech is very steady!

Very easy to install and worked will after installation.

Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for!!!!!!!!!!!

works ok. not as good as some reviews say and had some difficulty setting up and getting it to rum.

It was a rough time setting up onto my wifi. I was forced to use online setup. We still have problems with maintaining wifi.

decent repeater will provide a strong signal when it works that is.

we needed a better wifi for vr gaming and movie streaming upstairs. glad I purchased it.

DIsclaimer - I was given this product in exchange for my fair and unbiased opinion of it. I also rounded my rating up - I give it 3.75/5. Range extenders are devices with a primary function of extending your network range using only wireless connectivity. Most range extenders, including this one, can also act as a wireless access point that takes a wired ethernet connection and converts it into a wireless signal - useful for those with large homes or that have a room or area with poor wifi coverage that you could run an ethernet cable to. Setup of this device is simple. You log into the device, set a device password, connect it to your existing wireless network or put the device in access point mode, and you're done. This process works with any device that has wifi and can browse the internet from the latest smartphones and tablets running iOS and Android to the lowly Nintendo Wii (though I wouldn't recommend using a Nintendo Wii to set this device up). For the primary purpose of my testing as a wireless range extender, it fared well when connected to two older routers but not so well with a newer model. The routers I tested it against were a Linksys EA7500-AC1900 (my current router), a Cisco Valet M10-N150 router with DD-WRT firmware, and an Apple Time Capsule 3rd gen. While it did help to make a difference in coverage throughout my home with the Time Capsule and the Valet, the Linksys EA7500 is so overpowering in comparison; the RE7000's range was around 110 feet from the device, where the EA7500 comfortably reaches over 250 feet from the device (2.4 GHz ranges; 5 GHz on both devices is about half the distance for each device). Speeds through the range extender in wireless mode depend on the router it's connected to and the quality of the connection; with a great connection between the RE7000 and each router, speeds matched what a direct connection to the router would be. As you move further away from your primary router, however, that connection does drop off fairly quickly. When testing as an access point, I used a current-generation MacBook Air and a CAT6 ethernet cable connected between my router and the RE7000. My internet connection is Comcast's 250mbps package, and I was able to peg my connection with this configuration. With computer-to-computer file transfers, I was able to achieve speeds around 63 megabytes - or 500 megabits - per second at their peak and sustain speeds around 54 megabytes - or 430 megabits - per second. (8 megabits equal 1 megabyte.) One thing this range extender features is the ability to do mesh networking with a Linksys RangeMax series router. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to test this functionality because of how my home network is setup. (Linksys EA-series routers are generally part of the RangeMax line.) All in all, this isn't a bad device for those that need it. If you have an enterprise-class router from a company like Cisco, Sonicwall, or Barracuda, and no wireless access points or older wireless access points, this device functioning as an access point is an easy and affordable way to add or upgrade wireless connectivity to your network. For those with a router provided by your ISP that has poor coverage of your home or business, this is a good option since it's easy to set up and can either be connected though the wireless network or with an ethernet cable. If you do have a residential/consumer-class router of your own that's a few years old or lacks the kind of range you need, however, I'd recommend that you just upgrade your router (such as the Linksys EA7500, Linksys EA9500, or Linksys WRT1900ACS) instead of adding a range extender to your existing network.

Great product, super simple to install multiple of these. The wifi is extremely fast.

I really don't know if this works. I bought it by recommendation from a salesperson, but I couldn't get it to work. A Geek Squad worker looked at it and said the unit is not compatible with Xfinity cable modems.

Not as good as expected.....kind of hit or miss with reception.

Thought it would allow my streaming channels to work quicker. However; there is no substantial difference!

This product has been helpful. Works as it should.

This extender is good for increased speed in rooms where internet cannot be reached.

It’s great, my WiFi works in places, I never know, it’s can pull it

Great for people that wanna expand their Internet.
