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

It doesn't help with my WiFi signal much. My internet is via CenturyLink and it has never been satisfactory.

It extends the range, that’s about it. Doesn’t help with a poor Wifi router that I used to have.

Returned it after 2 weeks. Worked 50% of the time, and had the same signal strength as the router in the areas needed. Do NOT buy.
