    I have very low wi-fi reception in my attached garage so I did some research and on this extender to rectify the problem. No matter where I put this extender the increase was minimal. It was never any further than 20 feet from my router in the house. To be fair, this extender worked better in the house but it didn't do what I needed.

    Wasn’t easy to connect, help from Technical department a bit overboard. Figured out how to set up and it has been working well since installation.

    I have coverage challenges in my home, and tried this. Setup was simple, and I expiremented with its best placement, and once I did, I now have good wi-fi. No real risk with Best Buy’s return policy, so it’s worth a bit of detective work for placement, but chances are it will work for you also.

    Trying to set up a mesh network at our second house. Ordered four of these. One of the devices was corrupt. Called tech support and they corrected the situation over a two hour phone call. I had to sign up for an additional service to monitor the network. Felt like a bait and switch but the system seems to be working now.

    Have a 3 story condo with the main router on the first floor. WiFi was not reliable on the third floor until I set up this device. Now it's accessible and doesn't drop. Had to register online to use their app setup, which isn't great. Otherwise happy.

    We were having trouble getting wifi in certain parts of our home. I researched this product, read the reviews and went out and bought it hoping it would work for us. To our extreme satisfaction we can now use our iPhones and iPad in all parts of our home and on our backyard patio. I would highly recommend this product.

    Setup was easy. It increased the Wi-Fi strength by about 20 db to regions that had poor connectivity. I've had the extender for over a month now and have not had any issues. I did buy the two year replacement policy from best buy, given the comments from others that the extender failed them after about a year.

    Our house is fairly large and the wifi modem is on one side but wasn't strong to reach the bedroom, this wifi enhancer made it possible to stream movies in the bedroom.

    Not sure yet. Up and running fine now but it didn’t start that way. Kept losing wifi connection. Even it’s own iPhone app Nighthawk could not find the mesh extender. Seems devices on original WiFi were affected as well. Almost took it back to Best Buy. Had to do two factory resets with paper clip. And a firmware update. Good for now. I’m also not getting the distance I expected.
