    Had 2 of these and Never got them to work!! Technical support is a joke, very hard to communicate with them because they cannot understand English very well. They seem to wait on key words and try to assist from there . I was told twice the 2 devices was defective???

    This Wifi Extender keeps dropping signal. I have to reset it about every other week. I've uninstalled it from my network and reinstalled it. The Nighthawk software really sucks as well. They need to come up with better equipment and software for the price they are charging.

    It doesn't work at all unless you have a direct connection to it. But its still has problems with getting a strong connection to the main router anywhere in my house.

    Don't buy this item. It is really useless. It keeps breaking connections and you will not get full speed as you see on main router.

    I bought this to extend my Nighthawk AX 6000 router but it did not work and the signal strength was weak all over. I was looking for a mesh set-up but this did not work well. I purchased an Orbi WiFi 6 system and it works like a champ.
