I would not recommend it to anyone who does anything more than checking email on a patio. Ultimately I am replacing it with an actual wired Access Point; far more expensive but will do the job better. I'm giving this one to my boyfriend's father who has no wifi on his porch.
1; The setup wasn't too hard, but I am a little above average in tech skill
Slow..; I mean lest than 5% the speed of the signal it receives; The original 2.4 gHz signal from the router allowed downloads at about 50 Mbps; When connected to the extender, it went down to barely over 2.5 Mbps
The item works to extend my wireless network. My router is in the basement and I was having trouble with certain spots outside and on the main level. This extender allowed me to access WIFI in a larger area.
I am lucky enough to have one of those very rare, almost extinct in fact, mythical creatures, commonly known as a "good neighbour" (Latin name bonum proximi). Ask anyone who was alive in the 1950's, they will tell you about when we were overrun with these creatures, taking in our post, lending us a...
extends wi-fi into hard to reach places and black spots

I am glad I went for this Ethernet port version as I was unable to set up the WiFi connection without it. I used Option 2 and configured it using my laptop connected. Plugged in on upstairs landing my daughter's room that had a rubbish connection now has full connection.

I bought this after we realised our wifi was not reaching all of our rooms upstairs. When your kids watch YouTube on the cell phone you want to know it's through Wifi and not data. Ever since installing this we have had no extra data charges on the cell phone bill. This makes us very happy.
The constant connection dropping is a deal breaker for me. Do not buy this item unless you are okay with constantly reconnecting this item. Also NCIX you have to take away the barrier you have set up to product reviews.
It does what it says it will do
Have been having issues with it dropping connection several times a day; It works fine throughout most of the day but when it disconnects I have to unplug the device and plug it back in to work, NCIX's review system is broken and won't take my order number - thus not allowing me to give this a 2 or...
This range extender was very easy to set-up and use and the range is actually very impressive!
this extender works well but plan on hiring a computer genius to install it, nothing i did would work.After about an hour my son got it to work.Don't move it once you plug it in other wise you will have to start all over again
Reliable connection
