    • Love this thing
    • This thing was not to bad to set up and works as advertised
    • To my surprise this thing was great
    • this thing works
    • but I hard good things from other
    • So I called the commercial client number and spent hours on the telephone repeating and repeating things to them - like how spell my email address and the spelling of my name
    • The only really negative thing I found about it, and this does not in any way
    • The two stars are because I really want to love this thing, but it drops connections CONSTANTLY
    • This thing works like a dream
    • the thing worked like a charm
    • This thing sucks
    • But the deal breaker was that this thing kept losing the connection to the router
    • This things works alright, but it was so frustrating to configure.
    • Awesome it the best thing I ever buyed
    • The other plus is that it is the easiest thing to connect ever
    • I love this thing
    • Ignoring my own advice of buying the right thing the first time, I originally purchased a cheap Huawei WiFi extender and while it offered a more reliable connection that prevented drops, the speed made it equally unusable.
    • But one of the nice thing is the customer service was really helpful
    • Love this thing
    • this!This thing works it works with
    • This thing is fantastic.
    • The good thing is that the ~10mbps is constant throughout the house once connected
    • This is one of the best things that I have gotten
    • Fortunately I was over carpet and this thing seems pretty well made so no damage done
    • The thing is JUNK!!
    • Good thing this device has an ethernet port, which I was able to connect my PS4, and I get the speeds I want
    • Love this thing
    • Like others have mentioned, this thing is incredibly easy to set up, especially using the WPS setup option
    • This thing works awesome
    • I know networking is never the easiest thing, but a simple range extender should be easy enough for anyone.
    • but I am actually quite happy that it works that way since sticking this bulky thing in an outlet in my
    • I set this thing up in like 4 different configurations and it never worked well at all
    • But after a while this thing just gives up and doesn't work the way it ought to.
    • The set up was easy and smooth, things seemed to work fine for the first couple of days
    • but Im a tech guy and this thing is a joke.
    • Another cool thing is that my modem and router are upstairs, connected to their own UPS, while my Desktop is downstairs
    • The dual band link up while being used with this on-board Ethernet connection has NEVER dropped, which is a great thing considering my wife is using this connection for her work from home job
    • This thing was a nightmare to set
    • Biggest issue is that this silly thing blocks EVERY outlet its nearby
    • The worst thing you will ever have, unstable connection
    • Excellent device works as so many different things
    • This little thing worked great, I went from not being able to do anything on the internet to full bars all the time.
    • Whenever I have them plugged in, I experience frequent internet connection drops that make it impossible to do things like play online games because I get dropped from the server every 10-15 mins.
    • Don't listen to the bad reviews, this thing is great!!
    • No too happy doesn't work as I though it will.
    • With the extender, the strength of the signal has improved to -30 (2.4g) and -33 (5g), extremely strong, and the speed is consistently around 31 mbps down and 24.4 mbps up (2.4g) and 80 mbps both up and down (5g)
    • Now only the 2.4 G connection works.
    • good product, strong wifi signal.. support 5G easy to use, and good support team as well
    • That is not a knock against the extender at all but a caution that just because it says it supports 5g, your device you are connecting must also be 5g capable.
    • Easy to setup and the 2g plus the 5g work
