Reviews around speed (4.72 of 5)

  • Fast ethernet speeds doesn't really add latency to the wired network.
  • I also bought the FIOS branded extender, directly from Verizon, and this Actiontec actually gave me better speeds!
  • Nice value for someone like me who does not want to crawl through the attic to run another CAT5 network line or does not trust the security and speed of WIFI (even 802.11ac).
  • The speeds i am getting from the extender are even slightly better than the main router itself!
  • getting much faster wifi speeds and cover a very good area.

Reviews around price (4.33 of 5)

  • Overall, I'm really impressed, particularly as Verizon want $99.00 for something similar, so the price was impressive
  • Still a good buy, considering the attractive price and built in wifi.
  • Great price, my only complaint is there are no real set up instructions, but it's pretty much plug and play.

Reviews around work (4.33 of 5)

  • This works super easy and is a great way to boost speeds and distance for Verizon FIOS users.
  • As mentioned in the title, the product works perfectly fine, my only issue lies in the fact that the cables listed on the product listing were not included.
  • It's worked great with our Verizon fios, now have 2 separate routers, the main one for the house, and this one for the garage.
  • I have verizon FiOS and this works great to extend the wifi signal and also add 5G
  • This actiontec extender was very easy to install, and is working great with strong signal for the 2.4G radio.

Reviews around router (4.30 of 5)

  • I bought it because of reviews and FAQ which stated that it worked with the Verizon FIOS Quantum Gateway router (which is what
  • n’t go wrong.
  • Since I have FIOS (and the excellent Actiontec MI424WR router already), I had high hopes, especially given all the great reviews.
  • My family doesn't approved of me taking the router into my room
  • I installed the Actiontec Wireless Network Extender over our existing coaxial cable and the problem was solved!If your wireless router has support for WPS

Reviews around moca (4.10 of 5)

  • Spectrum disables MOCA on there modem/router combo units so you will need 2 of these to get it done
  • As an added bonus to being a regular moca adapter, it even makes sure my wifi is 5 bars everywhere in my house insted of just upstairs!
  • Just make sure you have a MOCA adapter near your network router for this to work.
  • My internet router was MoCa compatible so the only thing I needed was a splitter to enable the cable outlet near where I placed this device
  • I have no patience with things that don't work as they should, so I'll be returning the unit to Amazon for a refund.

Reviews around thing (3.95 of 5)

  • really just the best thing ever, bridge, switch, AP, are you kidding.
  • The real reason I bought this is for the ethernet over coaxial, and the best thing is the router from my
  • But the sad thing is I have full control of the router from my room
  • like I wanted to do - and you don't want to spend a lot of money in the process - then this ActionTec network extender is a good thing to try at a price that won't hurt your bank account.
  • As a direct Ethernet connection, this thing is incredible

Reviews around way (3.86 of 5)

  • This is a super-easy and affordable way to eliminate extend your WiFi connection using existing coaxial cables runs
  • Tha Actiontec MoCa extender works just the way it's supposed to.
  • I have no patience with things that don't work as they should, so I'll be returning the unit to Amazon for a refund.
  • But, it would be nearly impossible to find a less expensive way to extend your existing network in a way that's as fast as this is than purchasing 2 of these devices and a filter.
  • Easy way to add more wireless coverage to our home with our Verizon Fios

Reviews around advertise (3.61 of 5)

  • I recently purchased this to extend the wifi on my FiOS network in the house - it works as advertised, although there were no
  • I had been told that this would solve my problem (at the very least, give me a broader wifi range, as well as, the ability to connect my PS4 via Ethernet), so onwards I went
  • I have no patience with things that don't work as they should, so I'll be returning the unit to Amazon for a refund.

Reviews around connection (3.61 of 5)

  • I've been struggling to get a strong Wi-Fi connection to all areas in my apartment for several months
  • All in all you can use it to provide a stable connection for Ethernet but WiFi throughput is extremely weak topping at 50mbps
  • With this in place, we get rock solid connection no matter where we are in the house.
  • You must mess with naming the WiFi connection and password to match your fios router
  • But, having a reliable 300 mbps WiFi connection at the far end of the house means that I can live with all that.

Reviews around item (1.78 of 5)

  • I am missing all the following items which were all noted to receive.... 1 Ethernet cable, 1 coax cable, 1 coax splitter, base stand, and a Quick Start Guide.
  • the item worked fine.
  • I know you can set the ssid to the same name as the other router, but I’m pretty sure switching between signals is still unpredictable and even the $100+ items don’t fix this problem
  • I recommend this item for extending Wi-Fi on a FiOS network.
  • These missing items was a minor problem but still annoying as I did not need them, but again, if you are going to say it comes with it, you need to send it

Reviews around time (1.61 of 5)

  • Before I purchased this product I had a hard time getting a wifi signal to the rear bottom floor of my house
  • Needed to extend our wireless signal from one end of the house to the other via, we have Verizon FIOS, so it was very helpful to read other reviews that had the same Actiontec router from Verizon that we do, gave me confidence that this time (I have tried several other solutions) would work.
  • Now I have to spend more money and waste more time waiting on more parts before I can set this up.
  • 300 times better than powerline and a wifi repeater
  • The Windows Network Troubleshooter usually fails the first few times I run it
