    Works like a charm. Not cheap but worth the price. Wish the set up software was a little easier to work with.

    Very simple plug-in installation. The unit quickly found my network and configured itself. Sometimes I notice spotty boost, but not sure if it's product related or the distance from my Router

    I've read many reviews on this before purchase and I wasn't convinced it is the best solution and I'm still not. Make sure that it's located where the original router strength is strong.

    I bought this product to enhance the Wi-Fi in my home. The modem is upstairs and this product was placed in the basement. It works when it wants. Had a strong signal the first day or two and not so much after that. This is the second one I bought, returned the first for being defective.

    Excellent concept for a multi-story home like mine. However, I've had real challenges being able to configure the unit on a Windows 8 PC. Tech support instructions were not much help.

    My internet connection issue persists. I thought it might be just my computer but we also have problems streaming Netflix, from time to time. Best Buy suggested I upgrade from the router and extender to just the new and improved routers,that do not need an extender. I might need to return this and the router and try out the newest router

      Hi Cayman1,

      Your feedback is greatly appreciated. To improve your wireless connection, make sure that the router and the extender is communicating properly. Keep them away from wireless interference and physical obstruction. Place the router at a central location and within line of sight of the wireless clients. Adjust the wireless channel of the router. You can tweak the channels and choose the one that will give you the best result. Keep the devices running on the latest firmware too.

      Here's an article that will help:

    We have a 3000 sq ft home, no basement and really not much in the way to interfere but for some reason the extender won't pick up a signal more than 10 ft away. It didn't matter in what direction.

    I have a 3 level home and recently purchased Apple TV which is in my loft while my linksys wireless is in my bottom floor office. I bought the linksys N-300 hoping it would boost the range so Apple TV would work seamlessly and stream movies, connect to my Macbook air etc. installing was pretty easy (on my middle floor) and it seemed to initially work but then it would consistently go off line, re-boot and come back on-line by itself- This disrupted all Apple TV programming usage and clearly wasn't going to do the job. I returned it easily to the Reno Best Buy and bought the Amped High Power Compact AC Wi-Fi Range Extender REC15A which works great!!!!
