Customer Ratings & Reviews

Took time to hook up and get connection to wi fi. Reception still goes in and out.

THREE KIDS FIGHTING OVER WHO WAS TAKING MORE BANDWIDTH, IT WAS NERVE WRACKING! NOW IT'S ALL GRAVY , NO MORE FIGHTING.

Works ok. Does not extend the range as intended. Could have been better. Reception is sketchy

I bought this with my new router, it works great but in the beginning it took a while for me to figure out how to connect to my internet and router. Once everything was hooped up properly everything works great, this really has boosted my wifi and I have full coverage in my house.

Husband had an issue with weak signal prior to purchase. Couldn’t get wifi connection for smoker grill but once he connected the extender, he was finally successful to smoke our meals outside and monitor the temperature and cooking with this device.

It works as advertised, easy to setup with my Linksys router. Though with all repeaters, you lose speed. I will be getting an access point instead.

this is by far the best wifi extender I have ever used.

This is a great little unit that can extend the range of your current router. THIS IS NOT A STAND ALONE ROUTER. The PROS: Small size Works with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Set-up was simple. If you have a Linksys MaxStream Router, it will switch between the router and extender with no interruption. The CONS: Couldn't get the push button WPS to sync with my 5 GHz band. You can get another actual AC router for the price. So why get this instead of another AC router? If you have a home or business that isn't wired with ethernet ports already, then you either have to a) run cable or b) purchase an extender. This extender simply needs an outlet and to be close enough to grab your router's wifi signal and you will be able to extend the wireless range significantly. You can also choose to use it as a wifi to ethernet cable transmitter (in a situation where you NEED to plug in an ethernet cable but there isn't a port around). The day the mailman dropped this off I had it running in less than 10 minutes. The push button setup worked with the 2.4Ghz network in less than two minutes, but the 5Ghz (AC) band wouldn't connect. I set it up "manually" in less than 5 minutes and it worked like a champ. I bounced around the house plugging it into areas near my "dead zones" and it immediately brought wifi life to my home. All the security settings from my original router were just carried over. The only difference was that the extender put a _Ext behind the network name I had already assigned my primary router. The next thing I tested was speed. Using my current AC router I was getting a ping of about 15ms and using this extender I was getting about 20ms. Transfer speeds were pretty consistent with 37Mbps down and 6Mbps up. I am sure that these things also depend on what your home is made of and your actual square footage, so take that into consideration as well. Aside from the normal use, I began to realize I could use this for unnecessary things as well. When hooked up to an outlet on my back deck, my whole yard has wifi. Very useful if playing with the kiddos or having a cookout (all my 10-year-old son's friends have smartphones and video game addictions). Overall, I would recommend this to someone who absolutely needs it. While the cheaper options may work, the reliability and ability to switch from router to extender without interruption (when using a Linksys router) is great. Compared to a similar product I have purchased in the past from a company I generally love (think fruit), I would say I would definitely recommend this before that.

The product works as advertised and was easy to install.

Since I added this to my home Wi-Fi I've been able to watch my t.v., streaming, while my two sons game and never lose connection like I did before it was installed. I did have a difficult time installing so I called the Linksys number and was on easy street.

Works as advertised mostly, but every now and then it will drop a signal. I have fiber internet and pretty expensive routers.

Quick install. Used as a wired access point. Works fine.

Range is good for my needs.. Easy to setup also...

The wifi connection works. I would recommend this item for wifi connecting purposes.

Works well. Took a bit of time to find the right spot on the house to put it. Great for the price.

Works most of the time . Can’t decide if when it’s down if it’s my WiFi or this unit.

It fails to connect 5G to my router. Signal strength is fine in small area. But, it doesn't cover 10000sqf as stated on info page. The box said it covers 2500sqf. I plugged it in indoor where it's close to backyard. But the signal was weak so that it interrupted my internet activity on my device. If you want broder coverage, I would not recommend this product.

Top notch. I highly recommend. No doubt about it!!!

Seems to work. Haven't tied our Alexa. Our Grandson did the set-up, so no comment.

Old router that I had converted into a secondary AP finally died. This was a simple solution to restore coverage that actually worked well.
