    I needed to extend the reach of my wifi to enable it to work in my work shop 70 feet behind my home to my shop. This unit did it great! It is even fast enough for me to get U tube, as I call it, U tube university for information.

    Seems to be doing the job. I now have better coverage throughout the house. Didn't give 5 stars since I had to configure it manually.

    I bought the AC1200 to help increase the range of my router to get to the dead spots in my house. It did not do much at all. The signal was not strong and it would not connect properly. Maybe I got a defective item, but the AC1750 was far superior to the AC1200. I would recommend getting the AC1750 for the AC1200.

    The streaming on my tv was in and out. I bought this extender put it midway from my router and my tvs and my streaming issue was resolved. The picture is perfect and I am very happy with the product. The setup was very easy as well.

    Currently live in a 2 story home with the wifi router on 2nd floor. I have great signal on 2nd floor and even outside but not in the basement. Added this extender super easy and now I have great signal in the basement. Works great.

    I bought this item to support my Ring™ Floodlight unit. The Ring unit had a hard time getting a strong enough signal through 3 internal walls with the unit mounted outside. Plugged this in and works great.

    Setup was easy and it works exactly as I expected. The only thing is you’ll need an Ethernet cable to hook it up probably. I had some trouble without but plugged it in and it set up in seconds.
