    I just moved to a new 2318 sq ft home and Frontier supplied the router to me. I had good coverage except for the very front room (den). The router is located almost to the rear of the house. Anyhow, I asked BB sales person which Range Extender he recommended and he said this one. I purchased and installation, from the app, was easy. Oh, forgot to mention, the wifi signal in the den is now EXCELLENT. This extender is not inexpensive but worth every penny, i.e. it does the job, period.

    This has been indispensible as a part of my home network setup. I can't believe how i made it without this for so long. The setup was 7.5/10 in ease and the usefulness of the app is even a bit better than my ISP with some more minutae controls. All around very satisfied and will be adding another on the far corner to extend out more of my property.

    This box still works and has pretty good range. But now, after a few years of continued use I find I am having to reboot it frequently. It looses connectivity and a simple power cycle fixes it. I have tried dusting it out with a spray nozzle connected to a compressor (fairly low pressure and it has a moisture trap). It doesnt matter, it does it again. It was a great device before this started, it's still ok.

    I have a Nighthawk router that was good for a house up to 1500 sq. ft. My house is a little bigger than that and my router was able to cover the house, but I was unhappy with the signal strength. Purchasing this I was able to create a mesh system and have good signal strength throughout the entire house. Well worth it. Set up was easy with the Nighthawk app.

    A little time to set up with an older router due to an accumulation of usual baggage, but once it recognized the system, has been working flawlessly. Completely reinvigorated my home network. Very pleased with the purchase and a very fair price.
