Reviews around setup (4.26 of 5)

  • Setup was easy by simply pressing and holding the wps button and doing the same on my router down stairs
  • Setup was easy enough, but very disappointed in the actual prefromance.
  • initial setup was confusing as instructions are sort ofd vague.
  • n’t get it sooner, because now I can finally lay in my bed and watch Netflix and video chat without it breaking up which I couldn’t do before because my router is downstairs
  • The setup was super easy, and the extender works very well

Reviews around work (3.81 of 5)

  • Came with an older firmware that did not support working as a range extender, so if yours is missing that feature, upgrade to the latest firmware.
  • Easy to load Internet connection and connection works great
  • This product works ok, not a great boost in internet speed.
  • Works fine after setting up---very hard to get working-directions bad--
  • This has been working great for me, no complaints at all.

Reviews around range (3.77 of 5)

  • Range is not the issue as I am only 10ft away from the router.
  • I replaced this with a Netgear after a month, the range is poor, the dual band creates network conflicts, junk
  • it does not work as it said, the range capacity is poor...
  • good range, like how the name of the hotspot is the same as my current router
  • Range is not excellent as well as the connection quality/speed but for the price paid for this extender, its actually cheaper to buy a cheap router and add this product to cover the poor signal spots in your home.

Reviews around extender (3.63 of 5)

  • The extender was easy to setup and the signal was strong
  • I would unplug the extender and then people would immediately be able to log back into the 5GHz line, so it was clearly the extender's issue
  • Great WiFi extender, easy to set up and boost my signal upstairs
  • This extender fix all that problem and no buffering when connected and in use
  • I do not recommend this RE200-AC750 Wi-Fi Range Extender

Reviews around coverage (3.62 of 5)

  • The coverage is great and now all my devices are running optimally throughout my home.
  • Working in the tech sector this extender has horrible coverage
  • It slowed my signal and gave me no greater coverage than I had previously
  • My wifi router is located upstairs and I use the range extender in my sunroom so that I get better coverage in my backyard
  • So far so good, super easy setup - has really improved the coverage on the far side of the house from my main router.

Reviews around thing (3.32 of 5)

  • This thing is a joke don’t waste your time on this item.!
  • I have decent internet connection upstairs and use the 2G network but was just hoping to get the great 5G signal I get downstairs or as close to
  • Best thing I have in my House helps give me WiFi in spots where the connection is very poor
  • The only bad thing is that it occupies both sockets, no matter how you place it.
  • But there is this one annoying thing about the extender that I wish can be addressed.

Reviews around router (3.31 of 5)

  • Better off buying a better router then buying these extenders.
  • Nothing against this product, but thinking it was compatible with my router was wrong.
  • This little inexpensive wireless router works great for what I need it
  • (The router was great, but I had to return this extender.)
  • I tried buying a very expensive new router, but I couldn't get full house coverage.

Reviews around advertise (3.22 of 5)

  • it does not work as it said, the range capacity is poor...
  • First the things I enjoyed were the coverage and it is decently fast for what I need it for in that regards as well as it is consistant.....again almost
  • Thanks for making a product that not only works as advertised but is very easy to set up as well!
  • I set it up (which wasn’t easy) and found that, while it does extend the network, when I’m connected to the extension the speed drops so dramatically it’s almost as unusable as without it.
  • I don't know if the feature is really not supported and that's just false advertising or they don't know what they're talking about unfortunately

Reviews around device (3.11 of 5)

  • Confused devices while keeping same wifi name and password
  • If you know how to connect to a WiFi network or have ever ha to access your router to rename a network, you should be able to set this device up no problem
  • Although this device is super easy to set up and it worked great for the 1st couple months.
  • Still have wifi issues, devices still lose connection even with extender.
  • It is great for static devices (e.g. desktops) because if you move around with your phone for example, your phone will try to connect to the extender even when you’re inches from the actual/main router

Reviews around speed (3.11 of 5)

  • Extended my wifi coverage must severely throttled my download speed (more than 100 megabits)
  • If you want better speeds in a few years as higher speed wifi is becoming more common then buy a new router with all the money you saved.
  • We had a weak signal (which meant slow internet speeds) in one of the rooms furthest from the WiFi router, so we purchased one of these WiFi range extenders
  • the speed drops are phenomenal!I have a Comcast router and pay for 150 MBPS.My bedroom does not receive good strength of wifi signals and hence a bit unsteady speeds
  • Works better than I expected...great value, good range , and speed for the money!
