This AC1200 Wi-Fi Range Extender is a great option to grab and extend signal into dead zones created by bathroom mirrors, HVAC duct work, utility rooms, etc in a larger house where wireless penetration and range can become a factor. Easy one time programming and if a reset it needed, just unplug and plug it back into the wall 120 AC, and it boots back up in no time.

it works ok but I thought for the extra cost it would be a stronger signal but it is about the same as cheaper models that I have seen. I had to playwith different locations to get the best signal

Apparently, these devices are designed to half the signal. That's what a CS guy told me when I returned it. Pointless. Then he suggested a system that will cost hundreds. I need to extend the signal strength, not cut it in half. I was standing 2' from it in the garage and it gave me about 60mbps, but the Wi-Fi gave me over 200mbps. Makes no sense.

This item had very good reviews and stories of easy set-up. For me, it worked as advertised. Read through the instructions, plugged it in and set up the extended network. Only thing I had to remember was to add that extended network to our mobile devices so as we move through the house, they pick up the strongest signal. Working great for us, hope it works for you as well.

This device seems to add a moderate level of increased WIFI signal. It does drop the signal often which is why I gave it 3 stars. I’ve got an iPhone X so it’s not like I’m using an outdated device.
