    Handy Range Extender

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This range extender is an excellent little device! The setup was easy—I simply plugged it in and was able to configure everything right from my phone's web browser. No need for an extra app, which is always a bonus. It is fast enough to handle Netflix streaming or keeping a Ring camera running smoothly. If you're looking to extend your WiFi to cover areas like your backyard or garage but don't want to invest in a full mesh system, this extender is a great option. It’s compact, doesn't require any extra wires, and does the job well.

    Easy to set up. I plugged it in at one end of a 40' building, closest to our house. I had not been able to access internet at the other end of the 40' building. Now, I have my computer on the opposite end of the building (farthest from my house) and the internet connection works great!

    This range extender was easy to set up and works great. It greatly reduced instances of buffering that were frequent when watching on line tv in our bedroom, which is on the opposite end of our house from our wireless router.

    Garage WiFi Access

    I bought this Wifi Range Extender to put in my converted garage because I struggled to get connection for my workstation computer for various artistic projects and for playing games on Xbox Live. The computer needed an ethernet connection which this device allows and it has not disappointed as I have been able to use both with ease as if the router was right next to them as well as get great phone connections. I most definitely would recommend this product to extend your WiFi network at home, in-office, workshop, studio, etc.

    Product is fine but don't buy it from Best Buy. They had it on the webpage for $54.99. I went to the store and they charged me $10 more! I could have bought it online and picked it up in an hour for $10 less. I didn't notice until I got home.

    This was one of the best purchases I have ever made. The signal from my current folder could not reach upstairs, so the Internet kept cutting out this extends my network to where I need most, so no more problems

    Probably a good unit. Was easy to connect to my WiFi network, but would not extend range through wall to far side of garage (for garage door opener camera). Returned it and purchased home WiFi mesh pkg instead.

    Best I've Used

    I've used several range extenders in the past and this one is best by far in ease of setup and effectiveness. My router is at the rear of my house and I set this up for a computer bench in my garage and three cameras in the front of my house. Everything is at full signal strength with this extender.
