Cannot connect to hidden networks
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like linksys products, but this one is an exception. There is no way to enter my hidden network name despite the manual saying otherwise. It can only scan for networks that broadcast their name. I upgraded to the latest firmware, no success. Thus this range extender is useless.

Not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This range extender is not as great as I had hoped. I was using it with a Linksys router. It constantly drops the signal and I have to reset it constantly. I would not recommend this product.

Great Device
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a Linksys network extender that cost twice this price and was not an extender but rather it was a repeater. By that I mean it assigned a new network name to its signal. This was no good for me because I needed an extender for my Daughter and my smart phones because we did not want to change networks every time we went into the range or the repeater. If you are streaming a movie this is not acceptable. This unit is a true extender. It extends you wireless signal without changing its name and for half the price! We have a dead spot in the garage because of the firewall between the garage and the house and the fact that the close washer and dryer blocks the signal. After following the instructions on how to connect the device to my network I placed it on a shelf above the washer dryer. It gets two bars there and now our phones get four bars where we only got one at best before. This is exactly what I was looking for and for a truly affordable price.

Opposite of Plug and Play
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.East to install right out of the box...not so much. Not only did the CD not work with operating system, but the manual install attempts didn't work either.

Did not work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this after walking into the Best Buy store and being advised to purchase this over other products. After installing the CD and setting it up, the device was still unable to provide adequate wifi coverage to my "dead zone". Promptly returned and exchanged for a different wifi extender.

Works for a while and then takes down the internet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When it's working, this unit is great. However, after a showt period of time the extender started making it impossible to use the internet. My neighbor got one at the same time and has had the same problem. Resetting it works for a very short time so it is virtually unusable.

Stick with Netgear
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit appeared defective right out of the box, with some help from customer service, finally got it to operate. Not impressed by its performance, signal was weak and unreliable. Imagine doing wifi, using rabbit ears and tin foil.
