It is good that this is easy to set up because the user manual in the box is very incomplete. I found a neat feature that is not in the documentation. If you are repeating from a dual-band router, then you only need to connect to the router on either 2.4 or 5 GHZ, not both. In my case, I used 5 GHZ only to link back to the router but this device repeated that connection on both 2.4 and 5 GHZ. This effectively doubles the speed at 2.4 GHZ (which most of my devices are) because the "repeat" back to the router is done at 5 GHZ which leaves the time slot open at 2.4 GHZ for additional data. This allows me to do two ZOOM meetings at the same time with no "freezeups" or dropped video frames. Coverage throughout my 2000 sq. ft house over three floors is very good!

Easy to setup, But signal comes and goes unless the extender is in the actual same room as the cable router, which defeats the purpose of extending the signal. Then when I do connect to the extender with any wireless device, I get the message, " Connected, Internet Unavailable." The instructions say to change the encryption method of the router from WEP to WPA, but this is Spectrum's router and I don't see any possible way to make such a change. So the product is USELESS!!!

I purchased this wifi extender as we have our router on our main floor and I was having connectivity issues upstairs, even after trying different wifi adapters, as I mistakenly thought it was an adapter issue. I initially set it up on my second floor, which didn't help my signal. I then set it up on the ground floor, but on the opposite side of the house to our router. The password setup only seemed to create an extension to the 2.4GHz network, but when I tried setting it up again with a WPS push, both my 2.4GHz and 5GHz extensions were visible. Using this fixed my connectivity issues upstairs, so no more disconnections and a stronger speed overall, even on my game console. My only concern is that the device heats up quickly and I wonder if it's possible to overheat.

This product does a great job of extending my network for normal Wi-Fi internet/work VPN connectivity. Easy and quick setup. Strange thing is is that online gaming seems to become erratic using the connection and always seems to cause lag. When using my normal weak network in the area, gaming works way better. All things considered, it is a good product for the price.

The WiFi extender was very reasonably price. It appears to be made of good quality and was easy to install. I liked it so much, I purchased a second one to extend my signal even further. The second one worked just as good as the first one. I now have no more issues with my IP cameras losing there WiFi connection. GREAT PRODUCT!!!!!
