    Great range for the price. Still, if you’re looking for the best speeds across a wider range for with a mesh kit

    I recently added two wireless TCL TV’s. They run directly off of our homes wireless system. One TV was far from the router and the TV would frequently cycle. This took place during March Madness. Think about it…. Watching the last 5 minutes of the game took 30 minutes. I installed this extender and now.. thankfully.., I can watch my teams lose in real time.

    I placed this extender outside under my patio cover so my shop would receive a stronger internet reception. It works great and the shop is about 90 feet from my house.

    We needed this because our cable companies rotor box was not reaching our back porch area. We plug it into our kitchen beside our porch and it works well.

    Easy to use and install. The app is solid and the signal strength has been excellent. Used with two different internet providers and the extender has worked well with both.

    We use this as an extender but you can use it to make a 2.4ghz band into a 5ghz band. It works great for both purposes. The app really helps as it can help you find the best places to plug it into an outlet for best performance.

    Fantastic product. Did exactly what we needed. Employee was very helpful. Best Buy is where we shop first. By the way, the fridge we purchased 2 years ago is going strong, and I LOVE IT! I like the freezer on the bottom. I can see everything.

    Easy to connect, but didn’t improve my WiFi signal or range. Possibly, if not probably due to limited locations to position router on main floor and extender in basement. Worth a try, just didn’t work for me.

    I use it upstairs- I used to get no connection , you can run a lan cable through your pc/console from the range extender and it works so good!

    It solved my issue of my computer disconnecting from the router which was quite annoying but when I bought this product and connected it directly to the router the problems like freezing, disconnecting, and not connecting just right. All in all I recommend if your computer does the same thing!

    Thrilled! Not very tech savvy so I wasn’t sure what I was doing wrong in setting up some of my stuff. Talked to my daughter and she suggested getting a wi-fi booster. Wandered back in to Best Buy with minimal information and they helped me figure out which extender would suit my needs. Easy to set up. Quick fix. Performance is great. Awesome!
