My house isn't that big, but our main router is in the back of the house. I wanted something to boost the reception in the front where the smart TV is. I've only had this about 4 weeks and only used it 3 times or so, but so far so good. I'll write a follow-up if things start to go south.

Good job but does not deliver the speed promised in my situation. I put this device about 25 ft from my router which is pretty consistently running about 50 mbps. This signal extender only does about 20 mbps. I know it's rated for more, but in my situation, it does not deliver. Still a good product and I would recommend this to others. It may have a better outcome in your home or work place.

Love the wi-fi extender. It has certainly helped extend the distance it works. Used to have to check frequently to see if the wi-fi was still working.

Good product, helps with getting signal to bedrooms on the other side of house. I got a new router with 5ghz and it won’t connect higher than 2.4ghz. That’s the only downfall about product.

I had this extender for a little over a year before I had to replace it. Bummed it didn't last longer. I had one prior that lasted at least 2 years. It worked reasonably well, though it worked best within 20-25 ft of the main modem/wifi. As with any extender, I had to reboot it once every couple of weeks, but that was done simply by unplugging it and then plugging it back in. Would definitely use it again if I need a quick fix.

As always, Best Buy came through. Fast shipping and not packaged in a huge box for one item! I use this extender to keep in the hallway on the opposite side of my house where my router is. Before I was not able to use my internet easily. This has solved that problem.

Our wifi wouldn't really work well without the extenders, but the boosted signal is not very effective through our old lathe and plaster walls.

Product appears to work well. I have experienced far less wifi signal interruptions since I installed the product. The physical installation is easy (i.e., plug into an outlet), but the online installation instructions were not as clear, at least to me. As a result, it took me a few minutes to understand and then link the device to my wifi.
I give this product a buy recommendation.

Read a lot of reviews where people could not get a range extender to work. This one was easy to set up and and allows me to stream movies to my TV in the living room on the opposite side of the house from the WiFi Router, about 40' through 2 walls. I really like it.

Did not want to overspend on a device that may not necessarily make a difference. So far, device seems to work adding some range. Customer service was pretty good at troubleshooting. The device must be reset if you change routers.
