    When I first installed, created some ISP conflicts...nothing a few IP renew/release couldn't fix....works well with router on one side of the 2500 sq ft house, and it is plugged in in the middle.

    The unit is almost impossible to set up w/of a DVD player. The website to help you activate is poorly designed and layed out. Repetitive steps and after numerous attempts, it appeared to be operating, but reception rarely got above poor on my laptop 1 floor below the unit

    I kept losing my wifi signal downstairs. Our router is located upstairs which gives good coverage for the most part. Instead of upgrading to a better router, or a faster internet speed I tried this first. It works great I can stream video and use multiple devices downstairs without the dreaded rebuff earring or spinning I had become accustomed to.

    I'll give the extender this - the installation is simple. However, we found that rather than extend the range of our router, the extender ended up interfering with the router's signal. We needed to unplug it in order to use the router anywhere further than 2 feet away.

    I bought this without reading reviews. I'm not an IT expert but have above average computer skills and still spent 45+ minutes attempting to set this up. THEN, I read the reviews to find many people had this same problem. I exchanged it for a Netgear unit I set up within minutes.
