Note: my ratings are based on one criterion. Did the product do exactly what I needed based on my needs and research. I don't get caught up in minutiae.
My family of three has a lot of devices pulling data. We have three phones, three tablets, three laptops, two smart tvs, three Chromecasts, a Roku, Google Home, and a security camera. The router provided by our internet provider was a standard, cheap model and it couldn't keep up. I purchased a new router and paired it with this device and we have no issues. I can watch Sling on one tv while my daughter watches Netflix on another and all of our devices are on our wifi. Again, we are three people. A larger family might need something else. Additionally, there is no gaming or the like in my house.

Followed instructions exactly and could not get it to connect to my home router. Finally put it in the same room with the router( instructions say NOT to do this) and Pow! It worked. Unplugged and moved to barn and it works as long as you leave it powered on. If it is powered off for any length of time it loses connection with the router and it has to taken back in the room with router and repeat setup, wow, that is annoying!!

This extender works from my neighbors 2 houses down! They gave me their wifi password and now it works in my house! I researched a little bit and this one works just fine. I could have got the better one (750 or 1200) but this was has been working. Sometimes it goes in and out but for the most part, it works!

My router was on the first floor, and my computer is on the third floor. My internet connection was horrible and slow before this product. There was an obvious increase in connection after installing the product. One issue I do have is when I first log on to my computer, it takes a while to find a connection. I am not sure if that is an issue with the product, my computer, or my internet. The product was also a little pricey, but it was definitely something I needed as my internet was practically unusable before it.

Hey, hey, hey... I saw several wifi extenders from $25 to $700. Look, this little box for $25did the job to extenedor should I say to make the wifi signal in the house stronger through all the upstairs walls.
