I bought this weeks ago. I have tried to run thru the setup 3 times. Their web page support is down or not working. This purchase has been a disaster. I am looking for a replacement already.

This product was very easy to set up. I got it up and running in 15 minutes. It works great. I needed to extend my wireless. The wireless signal from my FIOS Actiontec router wasn't carrying upstairs. The extender boosts the signal so we can watch streaming videos upstairs now. I recommend this product for all those who need their wireless signals to be extended.

I did not like this extender. Barely seemed to work. Got rid of it and purchased eero, which worked much better.

It normally has a red light meaning not working. We didn’t even notice a difference when we could get it to work. Not worth it, pay for the more expensive ones

This little device threw all my video game consoles from nat2 to nat3 which meant I couldn't play online... make sure you use it for the right purpose like a dead zone

This product was bought with the idea of extending the range of signal in my apt. It functions how ever I seem to get better response with just my router.
