    Does not do what it advertised. Device is supposed to be a wifi extender. It instead creates another network within your homes WiFi network with its own password.

    Im super tech savvy I've never had any issue with anything technology related, this was soo difficult to set up and when i unplugged it to change locations of the extender it did not work and when it did the connection was in and out. Not reliable i exchanged it for the google home mesh extender havent had any issue with it. Save your money buy a google home.

    Unit installed easily but only got message “No Internet connection” even with both units plugged in with in 10 feet of each other. I had old Radio Shack intercoms that worked perfectly on the electric service in the house garage & barn so I thought these would work; no luck, returned it.

    Setup was a little bit of a pain, but once it was setup its functions good. Have the transmitter in the rack in the basement and the receiver is out in the barn, 300 feet.
