For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)

    Great Device!

    My old wireless wi-fi extender of about 4-5years(hard to say exact date) blew out recently. I forget the model. Small black square box with two antennas. I found it years back after reviewing a lot. It was supposed to be great but It never quite did the job as well as the claims. I had constant streaming interruptions. One day it worked the next day not so great. After that model new out on me a few weeks back I looked around and stumbled on this device. After some research on it I decided to get it. I thought I’d have to move it to a different location than the prior model I bought. I assume the location might not have been great. But! Turns out it’s fine in that spot. I’d say the service this provides is exceptional. Especially when compared to another product in the same spot. This signal is very strong. I can steam and use a lot of device on this without a single interruption yet. I’m very happy with this product. I recommend it. For further info if it helps. This is in an apartment that has a very long hallway between the main router and living room. Although my internet’s is super fast the signal is never strong enough to stream in the living room without interruptions or occasional quality loss. This product is very good. I highly recommend.

    Mary’s extender

    We have a security camera system and we needed a WiFi extender, tried a different brand but it kept disconnecting which was very frustrating. This extender has been great! I haven’t had to reconnect once. Works great!
