Not bad. It didn't work well at first but after I figured it out it was awesome.

works good, price was right, range was extended greatly

got to extend range of linksys route i bought, works ok but didnt boost range as far as expected.

Awesome device to extend the range of internet!!!!

I wanted to use this extender to increase the 5ghz AC range in my house (am using a Linksys AC1900 router), however, I have to place it too close to the router in order to get decent reception. I found that I can locate it farther away with just connecting at 2.4ghz, but that doesn't meet my needs as well. Also, I noticed that the speed is decreased when connecting through the extender, even when it is close enough to be in the 5ghz sweet spot.

The installation of this repeater was very simple and increased the bandwidth in this area of my home by 5x. This provided additional download and upload performance allowing for better connectivity in my office as well as streaming options.

It works pretty well, but am shocked that i still can not get wifi on patio a few feet away from this.

First, I have to say that in the past I've used WIFI repeaters to various amounts of success, each has been as finicky as the last to set up and as tenuous at holding on to their signal as 2-year old with a helium balloon. To say that this device was a complete departure from that would be a drastic understatement. The setup was not only extremely easy but also quick and painless. The only issue I ran into during setup is that there appears to be a hang in the UI whenever a setting is changed, causing it to sit there saying "Processing" for longer than it should, requiring you to go and hit refresh or re-type the IP of the device. This is only a minor gripe though as it doesn't cause any impact to the actual performance of the device. In terms of capability, it was a pleasant surprise to see that it supports both repeater and access point mode. In addition to that, when run in repeater mode it also can act as a wireless bridge, allowing you to connect a wired device to your wireless network. The wired port is gigabit, so there is no loss of speed either to this device as an access point, or to a wired device when bridging. This really does cover all of the bases. I think my biggest issue with this, aside from the minor firmware snafu, is the limited range. I currently have it set up as an access point directly next to another access point (different channels) and it is the clear loser in terms of signal strength. From anywhere in my house when comparing the signal strength of this device to the other, it hits about 75% of the other's strength. I feel the failure to include external antennas is severely limiting its range, although I do understand that with beamforming technology and the fact it has both 5GHz and 2.4GHz capabilities this device likely has many more than 2 internal antennas. And of course having more than 2 external antennas on such a small device would definitely detract from its appearance. Overall I think the device is excellent, the setup is a breeze and the performance is very good. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to someone needing to add a bit of capability to their network, or even another access point should they need to. Bottom Line: Pros: +Very Easy and fast setup +Repeater (with bridging) mode OR Access point mode +Gigabit Ethernet port Cons: -Firmware needs some work on the interface -Signal strength could be better

Our Wifi is on one side of the house and most of the users are in the middle or the other side of the WiFi thus causing issues. This item has helped tremendously. Additionally, we stream for cable items and the buffering problems we were having has been reduced significantly.

Finally found one that works, and in every room!!!

This never linked up right from the beginning some days good others not

Easy to set up and expanded the wifi in our house.

My wife no longer has to walk around with her laptop trying to get a signal. She can get wi-fi right in her home office.

Finally have decent WiFi connection in back rooms. Use Linksys equipment now and found interface to hook right up thankfully. Also my TV changes channels super quick now. Always had a 3-4 second delay on changing channels. Now within a second it changes.

worked for a couple days and now I am back to by wifi being dropped.

This WiFi range extender improved my WiFi strength in my outbuilding which is about 45feet away from my router. It was a little difficult to set up. I could not get it to sync using the wpa method. I would purchase again.

Good product, wish it extended the WiFi not added a secondary WiFi

Helped with slow WiFi in parts of the house that were furthest from the router. Good purchase.

A big help for our 2 story home. Wasn’t sure if it would actually make a difference but it has

I have a house that is 3000+ sq ft. It has helped out nicely to extend our WiFi service throughout the house.
