    Seems to work well as a connection for my computer in the basement that doesn't have wifi capabilities. Setup was easy - push a button and you're done.

    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 ring video security cameras we purchased are working well. They are very clear even at night and we can hear what is said on the outside of the home. They are hooked up to be viewed on our cell phone and IPad. Highly recommend.

    I really don’t know it doesn’t actually work properly it lags performance but my internet isn’t the greatest anyway so I can’t truly give it a five star when I don’t know the issues are from the modem or the extender but it does connect outside home and around my home also but it’s not at full capacity

    It works but I thought it work be a larger range. It has to be pretty close to the hub and that really reduces the range.

      Hi, brianbmxer,

      There are factors that possibly caused the limited range such as wireless interference and physical obstructions. Utilizing the Spot Finder technology during setup as well as updating the firmware might help. Please get in touch with us at [email protected] so our Escalation Engineers can isolate the setback. Indicate your contact information and a link to this review as a reference.
