I had one room in my flat where the internet ran really slow, the signal strength seemed to be OK, but when I checked the speed with several of those free on line internet speed checking services it was dramatically slower in this one room compared to the rest of the flat. I chose this extender because it takes up zero counter space and has no power cord, because it simply hangs from the power outlet. It solved the problem, was easy to install, and because of its size, and the way it plugs in it can be completely hidden from view.

Great WiFi extender

Read reviews and this one seem to get great ones. I highly recommend it. I've had it for a couple of weeks now. I had a spot in 2nd floor bedroom that was constantly dropping my wifi signal. This wifi range extender boost the signal greatly. Where I got maybe 2 bars on my iPhone, I now have all bars lit. It says to plug this in an outlet approximately halfway between your wifi source & where you are using your device. I have it 3/4 the way, in my second floor hallway. It picks up my cable wifi from the 1st floor kitchen pretty far away. Easy to set up too. Took about 5 mins. It uses the same name you picked out for your wifi network and just adds a "ext" for extended, to the name you already have. A cheap enough fix that works awesome!!
