Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the EAX20 AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Desktop Range Extender and Signal Booster's ease of use, impressive range, and strong signal strength as significant advantages. Many also highlight the improved coverage and generally positive performance. However, some users experienced connection issues and compatibility problems with certain devices or internet service providers. A few customers also felt the price point was relatively high.
