Title: Super-easy way to extend your network!
Review: This is a super-handy device. Over the years, I bought one for myself and a couple for my friends. It took just a few minutes to set up - plug it in, connect to the device's wifi and go to the setup page, and enter the login info for the signal I want to extend - that's pretty much it. An easy and cheap way to boost the signal at my home. As an added bonus, it has an ethernet port which can be connected to hardwired devices to make them wireless. At my friend's house, I used it to connect his security system to his wifi network, thereby avoiding the use of a long ethernet cable.

Title: Works great for my use
Review: So everyone: I just read an online article about WiFi. It was from a very popular gadget blog. It listed several things that people with WiFi problems should NOT do. High up on the list of things not to do is try to solve a WiFi problem with a WiFi extender. A WiFi extender is a device that accepts a weak WiFi signal and amplifies it, thus extending the signal further than the router originating the WiFi signal does.The article instead recommended that you replace your old router with a shiny, brand-new one. Maybe one of those new mesh systems, or one with WiFi 6! I've been noticing a lot of articles like this recently and sometimes that advice is good. It depends a lot on your situation… which is different for everyone.What I am here to tell you about is, when it is time to call bullshit on this. Practically all of these blogs have an interest in you buying equipment through a link they provide. In exchange, they get a small cut of whatever you buy. It's not a big deal— it usually doesn't affect the objective information they provide— but sometimes it is obvious that it increases the pressure to sell devices or equipment that you really don't need.In my 1000-square-foot condo, I am using Apple's Airport Extreme router. It's 5th generation, introduced in 2011. I bought it used from a UW student in Seattle. It was fine until we moved into this condo and got a bunch of voice-activated, "smart" devices like lightbulbs and cameras, all connected to the router's WiFi signal. Many of the devices were installed through multiple walls or otherwise distant so they got weak WiFi signals from the Airport Extreme router.I wound up running an Ethernet cable under baseboards and over doors from the router at the back of the condo to the front. At the farthest end, I installed a switch and a very cheap hardwired access point (AP). At the time it cost about $60 total and about 1 afternoon. It was fine until I installed WiFi cameras in and outside the garage. The garage cameras and Google speaker were at the edge of the Airport Extreme's WiFi range, even with the access point at the front of the building. I decided to get another WiFi extender to daisy-chain the AP's WiFi signal to the garage.Then, last weekend, I came across the article I mentioned. Right at the top of the list it said, Don't Use WiFi Extenders. Instead, it urged buying (admittedly good) new routers or mesh systems to replace your old router. That sent me soul-searching about whether to replace my old, used Airport Extreme with a Google Nest mesh 3-component system (on sale for $140) or to go with my original idea: an $18 WiFi extender from Amazon, plugged into an outlet in the garage and using my existing AP's signal.I finally went with the $18 approach. I installed it in the garage yesterday, then did a status check afterward with a WiFi app on my phone. The results knocked me out. The WiFi signal-to-noise ratio on my network was suddenly the best I could receive in the garage. The network congestion is terrible in my neighborhood. Previously, my next-door neighbor's WiFi came through clearer in my garage than my own network. But installing that extender meant that my network's signal sliced through nearby foreign networks loud and clear. The link speed on the farthest device (mounted just outside the garage door) is 130 MB/s. That is a lot less throughput than a new router would provide, but it is more than fast enough for my streaming cameras and that Google speaker.The signal analysis picture I uploaded shows the extender using the AP's wireless signal through two interior walls, but only about 3-4 yards (2.4-3.7 meters) apart.Now, I admit: I would like to buy a new router with all the bells and whistles. But man. It's hard to turn my nose up at such an inexpensive solution that works so well. The garage camera video streams now pop up instantly on my network feed, and all's right with the WiFi world.

Title: Slight problems at first
Review: It was initially easy to setup and use. However, for some reason, a few days later it decided it wanted my primary router address as its own. Needless to say you can't have the same IP address assigned to two different devices on your network. I finally discovered the cause in Windows Event Viewer. It showed the MAC address of the the Wi-Fi extender was the culprit. After reading some posts on their support website I saw suggestions to disable it's DHCP service. Once I reset the extender and reconfigured its settings I've had no issues. I haven't yet moved the devices back to it yet (such a pain) but I did test the signal out on my back porch (opposite side of house where my Wi-Fi router is). The signal was good and strong but the speeds were not great. I know extenders will do that and I expected that. But the devices I plan to use on it do not need great speeds to be useful. That includes a robot vacuum, 3 security cameras, and 1 garage door position monitor.The short story is, for the price, its a great deal! Be prepared to possibly have to troubleshoot.

Title: If you have the correct use case, it’s great and easy.
Review: UPDATE: there’s one more limitation to know about—Sonos systems cannot locate the network created by this extender because it doesn’t support wireless type 802.11ac. If you want to use your extender with Sonos, you’ll need something else, like TP-link’s RE315 model.Had some smart devices too far from my router; signals weren’t great. Bought this, followed the 3-step setup instructions which took 5 minutes, and now those devices have no performance issues. Speed tests indicate that the far corners of my home are now getting download and upload comparable to the space within 5 feet of the router. For me, it was that simple.When I was researching, I saw some reviews where folks didn’t have the same experience. I could be wrong, but I’d guess that many of those leaving poor reviews just didn’t know what this was for or how it works. Read on if you’re trying to figure tout whether to buy one of these:This is NOT dual-band. It’s only for your 2.4ghz band. What does that mean? When your ISP advertises that you’re paying for “100mbps” 1) they are usually talking best-case scenario and 2) they are talking about 5ghz band. The 2.4ghz band transmits data at a much slower speed because of the lower frequency. So why have it? Because many devices aren’t 5ghz compatible, and because 2.4ghz has a longer range and does better with walls, furniture, etc.So when you set this extender up, it’s going to connect to your (slow) 2.4ghz band and create a new wireless network to connect your devices to based off of that. You will not get a 100mbps connection. You won’t want to use it for streaming movies or playing games. That’s not what it’s for. You also may not want to connect to it with mobile devices, because it’s not changing the current network, it’s creating a new one that you need to connect to separately.What this IS for: Ring doorbells. Wifi speakers. Smart gadgets. Garage door openers. Stationary stuff that requires an okay signal. For these things, in my experience, it’s great. I went from no signal to good signal, and my devices now respond without lag. That’s what this does, and for me it did so perfectly. If you want to extend your 5ghz band, get a dual-band extender, not this.

Review: Don't buy that, this a scam item. At same area I check without 50MPS, with item 25MPS.

Reviewer: The hose is very thin plastic and arrived cracked which resulted in urine all over my carpet. How was I to know to check them. Annoyed, frustrated, disappointed. The bottle and other parts are very well made. Shame. I purchased 4 and 2 were cracked.

Review: Por el precio que pague siento que si cumple con sus funcionalidades, sin embargo, notó la red extendida un poco inestable por lo que, aveces se llega a alentar.
