Not what the doctor ordered
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While I'm sure this range extender would be helpful in some wi-fi networks, I did some research after buying but before opening the box. This would create a separate SSID, which is not what I was expecting. I am returning the item.
