I admit, this does extent my internet through my entire property, a full yard, I’ve not checked further, however, it only works half the time. I had to use customer service within the first week to reset it because it stopped working entirely. So it’s a gamble... works well when it works but it’s only sometimes.

This wifi extender is alright. I wouldn't buy it again or recommend this particular one. I'd go for a dual band or better range extender for just a little more. This didn't work well for me but seems like it would be ok for a smaller home to improve signal in a stubborn room. Doesn't seem like it really makes a difference at at all to me but my cable company said I didn't need one

For the price, you can’t really complain much. Signal strength is pretty low for much.

I bought this to do what the name implies, which is to extend the range of my wifi. Although it extended the range of my existing Wifi router, it didn't really improve much. I was usable if you are close to it but that's about it. Finally got frustrated and purchased a mesh network instead.,

It doesn't switch over automatically, which is annoying, but when switched on works fine.

I tried this product to get a better wifi signal for my laptops. It was actually a slower speed with the device.

I bought this to extend my WiFi in my house and the only thing it extended was my frustration. Don’t believe the overview on the product. It did not extend my WiFi signal even when I had it close to the router. I tried placing it in several places around my house, and little if any signal.
