    The extended reach is good for our large house. It seemed surprisingly difficult to get it set up, though. Instructions were simple but I kept getting errors.

    This equipment is impressive and has extended my network as expected. It is proving to be one of the more useful components I've purchased in the recent year.

    Works alright, a bit spotty in places, so it took a while to find a good location for it. Syncing it up through the app once there took about 10 tries as well. After the fact though, no issues.

    I've tried numerous other brands of WiFi extenders and this is the only one that took care of the dead space in my house. It is in my basement and covers the entire house and reaches outdoors also.

    Pain to connect/slows wifi

    Bought it to extend the range of our internet since we moved to a bigger home. It's a pain to connect to this extender. When i open the nighthawk app to see why its slow, it wont connect and show offline when the extender device is showing all green. I've restarted it and did factory defaults twice and it only gets worse. It's also makes it hard to download new software to it and always says it was not able to download. I've tried updating and connecting with my laptop and through the app. A couple of days ago i finally gave up on it and turned it off and the wifi was able to connect to our devices in the kitchen and living room. Waste of money and i can't return it. Sad

    We purchased this WiFi Extender after we installed a Smart Doorbell, and needed more Wifi strength, since the Router is in the basement. The result is unbelievabe. The door bell works flawlessly, and I have better WiFi signal on my tablet when I'm on the second floor.

    4 1/2 stars...only issue is you see it as a separate wifi site...so sometimes you have to log off the weak signal main and long on to the extender.
