    • it could possibly be that maybe it doesn't have a good connection to my router which in that case i might need a more expensive WIFI receiver
    • PC's and phones frequently lose connection, stating signal is not secure,but this may be a problem with my provider.
    • Once I installed this my wifi kept dropping and having to reconnect couldn’t cast a movie without it losing connection
    • That externder provides a 2.4G wifi connection much slower than the original, which has about 30+Mbps for 2.4G and 100Mbps for 5Ghz in not busy time.
    • I get excited over things like this, although my husband couldn’t care any less, but he always calls me whenever he previously lost any connection, Lol
    • After the connection is lost, it is not possible to reconnect to RE450.
    • I bought this extender because my desktop is at the very edge of the WiFi range (1 bar with occasional 0 and 2 bars).So, since I would prefer not to have cables running through the house, I decided to buy this extender to stabilize the WiFi connection (preferably above 2 bars on the regular).Now that that is out of the way, here is the issue I came across:Even though I was now getting full bars on the connection and able to pick up both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands instead of just the 2.4 GHz band, my down speeds became 20 Mbps for the 2.4 GHz and 34 Mbps for the 5 GHz and would not improve past a 5 Mbps increase for either
    • This device allowed me to improve my connection dramatically in my area of the house and connect via ethernet
    • However, I've lost my Ring camera connection which was the reason I purchased the range extender
    • Basically, now that we have this Wifi extender, we can reap the full speed of the Wifi network where before, our poor signal was giving us a slow speed and intermittent connection drops.
    • I've ever had which doesn't do anything helpful except ruin my connections
    • The connection seems more consistent now, the interesting thing is the connection strength is still the same (5 bars at the start and still 5 bars now that it's moved a little closer and out the console).
    • it worked for about a week then the connections are lost and it requires a reset and a new set up
    • so when I just started loosing my connection in the middle of a webex I host with clients and others, it drove me crazy.
    • Every time it restarts, it will lose network connection within 12 hours, and the customer service will only give useless suggestions.
    • As some mention have to unplug then plug back in every few days to get a good connection again
    • It now holds a steady connection with the WiFi extender.
    • but i keep losing connection saying the connection is getting interrupted
    • I specifically bought this to extend my 5ghz network upstairs where the connection was poor, due to my main access point being on the ground floor of my house
    • I guess it my internet connectionl, I have a Amazon Firestick & most of the time I lose the connection...
    • I have good wifi speed but poor connection to the access point
    • and I able to get a pretty steady connection to the outside of the shed where my grill is.
    • CONSTANTLY lagging or dropping signal causing my devices to loose connection
    • Recommend buying an extension plug to free up one outlet connection
    • We elected to use the same name as our main network for smooth transitions throughout the house like usual, and I'm telling you, since we bought this thing our connection has been super inconsistent
    • We also have the fire stick and it would mess up that connection
    • I have good wifi speed but poor connection to the access point
    • We lasted a week without having the network extender on and the internet was fine and our phones never lost connection
    • Passed through the connection great
    • Stable and fast connection
    • Unfortunately, we now randomly lose internet connection with all our computers, iPads, laptops and phones
    • I saw "2.4/5GHz failed the connection to the front end, due to
    • I worried about ending up with a poor design or unusable product, but this was perfect for simplicity to install, with totally transparent connections.
    • I always have to reconnect to the 5g network and it didn’t enhance my connection with my devices.
    • Wasn't what my son expected, not of the best connection
    • However, when used with my Asus router with dual band smart connect enabled the extender would intermittently lose connection to the internet.
    • The range extender would often lose connection and need to be restarted (not easy, when it's behind a large television set in a wall cutout)
    • steady-on blue, so good connection to the router
    • I purchased it to make a better connection to my Ring doorbell camera and it reduced the connection time from about 30 seconds to about two or three seconds.
    • (My ISP throttles my connection speed from 1Gbps to 500Mbps which sucks)With NETGEAR R7500v2, Speedtest.net I get 4ms 429.82
    • Then, the connection would be unstable and cut off from time to time
    • I ordered it since one of my daughters was having trouble with a fast connection upstairs
    • Despite showing that it is an idea location using the built in “location assistant”, it loses its connection to the main router and has to be rebooted every single day to keep it working.
    • In that case, it will work fine for an hour or two - then drop connection.
    • When I connect to Tethering App, it shows my extender keeps losing the connection with my verizon router
    • I reset it so many times, trying the many fixes on the internet, but it still continues to lose the connection.
    • Connection continued unstable.
    • This thing constantly crashes, losing internet connection, even if it's right next to the wifi router.
    • The extender would just lose connection and stop working
    • I plugged it in next to my computer desk which is in a different room from the router, but still gets an excellent strength signal, so the extender should also have had a very strong connection
    • Great range and fast enough connection
    • Strong signal and fast connection.
    • Our connections are so much stronger, and the connection is seamless, so we don't have to switch wifi!
    • Easy to follow setup, but would frequently lose primary connection (despite strong signal present), so you connect to the extender but then no Internet connection - cured by power off/on
    • No matter where you put this extender , it can not keep the connection , a total waste of money .
    • My MacBook WIFI and TV seem like new, and the ring doorbell that we have in our garage always showed poor connection, displays brilliantly and immediately as well, and the WIFI tests show as “Excellent “ now.
    • It also has issues with Samsung galaxy 20 phone (unstable connection)
    • It will tell you that it is connected to the internet but all your devices constantly loose connection.
    • The o my complaint is that it does take up a whole socket- but the performance, quality of signal, ease of use and installment overshadow this small flaw.
    • n’t know if the one I got is just busted, but from my experience I could not recommend this less.
    • n’t get even costumes service, and if you do they really rude
