Has good Signal Strength, easy set up, it is slower than the router but I have never seen an extender that has the same speed as the router.

My WiFi router is at one end of the house. My bedroom and garage are at the opposite end. Adding this extender has provided full strength WiFi access that was previously sketchy at best. My router is older so I had to connect the extender via website. It was easy and has been issue free.

This was very easy to set up. Instructions were clear and accurate. Connected to a Comcast gateway and is secure on my private network. Id shows as same with an ext after. I have a PS4 connected to it as it was at my gateways limit due to lots of walls between. The signal strength is excellent.

Not having ever used a booster before I wasn't sure how these work. When it didn't automatically sync I was concerned it may be hard to set up but the online setup was super east and fast. Works great!

If you follow the directions it is a good extender. Make sure to sync twice if you have 2 & 5 Hz networks in your range

We were having connection issues with our WiFi printer for months. Our current linksys router was working fine. Since installing this extender, we have yet to lose connection to our printer. It has been 2 months and is working great. Very easy to install great directions highly recommend

working really good so far! we live in a very rural area, and have very spotty wifi around our house. I have noticed in the house the wifi signal has definitely gotten way better. I have not tried yet to check and see if cell phone service is better though. don't really even know if this device will "boost" that, but overall I am very pleased so far with the product!

We have a 2 story house and our WIFI, router etc is upstairs in the study. We purchased the booster and installed it on the landing of our stairs. It has helped tremendously w our WiFi signal in our downstairs rooms. Great buy.

Fixed an issue I had with the wifi signal being weak in the basement because the router was two floors up. Sometimes it has a better signal than the router itself.
