However, some experienced connection instability, and compatibility issues were also reported by a few users. The Ethernet port was a welcome feature for some.

Kept getting booted using the wifi option. I also tried the hardwire option and that was spotty as well. returned it for a true router.

Looks like it would be a good wifi extender but I could not get it to work for me.

This extender actually reduced my internet speed by about 50%. I would read how this process works before purchasing this product or one similar. Consider spending the extra money for a dual band if you don't want your speeds to slow.

Was hoping to get full coverage in our back yard, but no such luck. Had to buy another router.

The extender did not extend the range much further than the router itself. It's good for a small increase, but not for a extended distance.

These seem a little under powered but get the job done in a smaller house. I needed two for a 1500sq/ft single family one story

Cuts speeds considerably!

I had the notion that it would just amplify the signal of my WiFi router and keep the bandwidth speeds, but alas it was not the case. My internet speed is between 180-240 Mbps, I tested the bandwidth from the extender and it was between 14-20 Mbps. If your expecting high speed internet with this, think again.

I guess it works fine, my cable company told me that I don't need it, but it was too long after purchase to take it back.

This network extender is basic. Emails, searching the web but not for streaming 4K. You get a lot of buffering going on.

This wifi extender was ok for extending your home network. Works decently with mobile devices. Not so great with heavy streaming though.

You’ll need multiple for a 1600+ sq ft house. WiFi was still slow.
