    This fixed my WiFi problem for outdoors! My TV comes in great without dropping. I placed it half way between my router and my outdoor TV. This seems to fix that problem!! I purchased a much cheaper model that did not work and it had a separate WiFi connection. This works with your router and no separate line. Very pleased!

    Bought this for my son so that his games wouldn’t lag, it brought down his ping and stopped him from lagging so much. Does the job for the most part. Could be easier to install. Was a bit of headache

    I was recommended this to replace the previous range extender. This allows me to keep my xfinity network name and I get a excellent signal at the receiver. Unfortunately it seems to have compatibility issues and my tv receiver keeps dropping the signal. I was better off with a single bar reception from the base wifi starion
