WiFi is in a back room, this is in the middle of the house allowing a decent signal throughout. Good product.

The extender works well for smaller areas that require a boost in signal distance.

This range extender worked okay, but decided on the Belkin which worked just as good, if not better, for less money.

Easy to install just remember it is a extension to your primary router and uses its own sign-in and password when your device signs into it.

Bought this to extend the range of the wifi connection from our living room to bedrooms on the back portion of our home. It really did not make a difference. Tried several locations and still not much of an increase. There are multiple walls and rooms between where the router is and this unit was located so can't really fault this item. I'm sure in other applications this would work fine. Returned unit to the store and bought wifi boosters from our service provider.

This item seemed to help extend our wifi signal to be able to reach both ends of the house. It was a bit of a pain to get it set up though.

This was so easy to use. It is basically plug and play. I now have access to streaming Internet well outside the walls of my house. Which is what I wanted.

I got this thing so we would have a better signal in the upstairs bedroom farthest from where the router is downstairs. It seems to help.

I had a Wi-Fi blackspot in my house - this is now over with, thankfully, because I purchased a good router and modem, from BestBuy. Both of them work wonderfully; this product, however, as well as most all Wi-Fi range extenders in my opinion, are going to be innately flawed. This is because what range extenders do, is extend your range, naturally; however, they cut your -signal-, thus your overall connectivity and strength, in half. This is obviously problematic as your once strong signal downstairs is pretty shoddy, but your non-existent signal upstairs is now pretty shoddy as well. Not recommended unless you feel like making a cut in your Wi-Fi strength; honestly, it would just be a better option to invest in a better modem and router. This particular model I couldn't even get to work in my house, although that's more a matter of testing out all the different extenders, as the compatibility is heavily reliant upon how it shags up with your router and modem. In any event, I wound up returning this and bought a more worthwhile purchase that not only eliminated my Wi-Fi darkspot, but improved and created a much stronger signal throughout my household: a modem and router.

Does the job of extending our wifi from the bottom corner of the basement to the upper far side of house. No issues with weak signal now
