Directions call for pairing in room with wifi box, paired good all green lights. Move extender between wifi box and dead spot. Moved all way back to 6 ft from wifi before would pair. Returned.

Had to call support for additional guidance to connect to Apple routers. Instructions don't tell you to reset to factory settings. When connected, didn't provide a stronger signal. Returned product.

Only extends maybe 10 feet, and keeps turning off. Tried returning to store and because it was a week 1/2 past return period they would not take it. $80 lost, save your money people.

Didn’t carry strength it said it did . Poor quality and effectiveness for the price. But it does work well just at slower speeds. Significantly.

All this thing did was cause problems with my internet. Not worth the time or cost and totally useless if you ask me.

I bought this to help extend my current wifi to the back yard. Didn't work, returned it. Maybe someone else would have better luck.

My installer said I had hard wire already installed. Unit was not needed. However, I was very pleased with the help I received from the store clerk directing me to what I thought was needed.

Waste of money. Installed it not too far from base and people had better results connecting directly to the modem.

Did not enhance internet connection in the slightest. Best part-best buy wouldn’t allow it to be returned. No exceptions with covid - nothing.

Worked erratically, sometimes not at all. Reset to factory setting twice to no avail. Consistently dropped router and/or client. Took it back and got a refund.
