Extends the network, but connection still drops
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perhaps it may be my equipment, but the Wifi connection drops even with the addition of the device. Don't get me wrong, it does it what should by extending the range. However, I thought the days of the dropped Wifi and my Smart TV and phone were over. No such luck. Other than that, it's a sleek, well designed device. I suppose my network is better than it WAS, so I'll keep it.

Easy Setup, Serves Its Purpose
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed an extender because I get a really weak signal throughout my second story home; the router is in the den on the other end of the house on the first floor. I wanted the cheapest yet reliable tool and bought this thinking if it didn't work, I could easily return it; low risk. To my delight, it works like a charm. I LOVE the manufacturers of this product because they managed to produce an effective product at a really low price. The setup was very easy (so easy you have to try it to believe it). Where I had to sit near an open door for a weak signal, I'm now streaming my tv shows behind closed doors in comfort. Quality of life improved! Love it and highly recommend!!!

Inexpensive and works amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Seriously, I was gonna pay $100 for a wifi extender to get wifi into my backyard and then I found this bad boy.
