Easy to set up as an extension of my WiFi router. An attractive package, seemingly well designed. But when I plugged it into an AC outlet, the top leaned away from the wall. Apparently the center of gravity is higher than its prongs. If there were a safe and easy way to tighten the grip of my outlet, OK. But I had to resort to two-sided sticky tape that may or may not solve the problem over time. Hope you have a snug fit in your wall outlet.
Thank you for your review. The RE505X should fit snugly in the outlet it is installed in. In your case, we would recommend trying it in another outlet, as some outlets may "loosen" over time or with wear/use, preventing a snug fit or some devices.

Does the job but disconnects often. It will also give me an error saying it’s too far from the router, but then also tell me it’s in the perfect location. So who knows. Don’t really know if I would buy it again but it was on sale so I decided to give it a shot. The app is easy to use and set up was easy, too.

Connects to my router well with no issue. There is a problem where connecting multiple Wifi enabled cameras. One camera would connect properly and be viewable while the others would not. Found a work around where I connected a travel router to the ethernet of the Wifi Extender and used the travel router as an access point for the cameras. This seemed to work well on all cameras.

Setup was initially unresponsive but a reboot did the trick. Once that was established the remainder of the setup went smoothly. It seems to have boosted my wifi adequately.

I have a wifi 6 capable router so I bought this to extend the network to rest of my home. Initially, we connected wireless and it was awful. We had dropping meetings and also kept losing network and buffering on media. We recently used the ethernet connection and haven't had any issues (looks untidy but does the work).
