    Spotty performance. Have this in the attached garage in addition to a second booster feeding it from the house. Would be better running hard wire.

    Product is fine but don't buy it from Best Buy. They had it on the webpage for $54.99. I went to the store and they charged me $10 more! I could have bought it online and picked it up in an hour for $10 less. I didn't notice until I got home.

    Relatively easy to set up. Provides a strong signal, BUT seems to periodically pause, and sometimes loses connection. When working, it introduces a noticeable lag. I ended up upgrading my system to MESH and put this device away. It did not address my needs, the TPLink MESH solution absolutely worked.

    I tried other less expensive estenders, and they failed to work on equipment I have outside. This seems to be an excellent extender, even outside of your home.

    Probably a good unit. Was easy to connect to my WiFi network, but would not extend range through wall to far side of garage (for garage door opener camera). Returned it and purchased home WiFi mesh pkg instead.
