   One step install

   So I needed it for my work desktop that requires cable from router so rather moving downstairs I got this and it works brilliantly.Wifi signal strength has also increasedIts one step set up so like up an running in 2 minutes.Could have more then one output for cable but works perfect though

   Good. Not brilliant, but not too bad.

   Overall it’s not a bad unit. It could be better though. It gets a little hot after it has been running for a while. It doesn’t get dangerously hot, but it does get a lot warmer than you’d expect and feel comfortable with.The range isn’t too bad. It’s probably about 1.5x as powerful as the original router i linked it to. So I’ve roughly doubled my range. (It needs to be sited well within the range of the existing router in order to get a signal it can then amplify.According to the blurb that comes with it, you can move the two aerials about to improve signal reception and transmitter range. Quite how moving a 3 inch aerial an inch either way is going to make a noticeable difference I’m not sure. I gave it a try to experiment and it didn’t seem to make any difference at all.The speed is good. It’s not quite what was advertised, but I gather that you’d only get that if it was hardwired to the router with an eithernet cable or it was only inches away (defeating the object of buying it in the first place).Overall, it’s quite good. It does the job… but it’s not fantastic. It’s ‘adequate’

   Works OK after the expected set-up grief

   Works well for what I wanted. Set up was, as with all such devices, a bit fraught.The main issue was that the default password given in the manual was incorrect, so to start with I couldn’t log into it at all.Fortunately, it was relatively easy to plug the range extender into a laptop, go to the website mentioned in the manual and put in a new password. Good job it had an ethernet port!Then it was a doddle to log into the range extender, although you have to be careful to place it well within the WiFi bubble of the source router: it needs a quite strong WiFi signal, without which it won’t connect and you conclude it’s useless. A matter of trial and error.My advice? Make sure you buy one which has an ethernet port, and prepare for a job which takes longer than you expect. After that, it’s OK

   Good signal

   I have to admit it was a bit of a hassle to install but we’ll worth the effort. Once installed the signal strength is exceptional. Before this the TV spent a lot of the time buffering but now I’m pleased to say the TV works like it is hardwired into the router.

   It works.

   i have bt fibre- it is easy to set up – when you first get the item, plug it in next to your broadband router, press the on button and the wps button of the router and then wait for your extender to go all green, then plug it back out and put the extender where you are having trouble with internet.- I have it plugged in my bedroom, if you want internet all over the house buy the other one that covers more distance as i expected the signal to cover more distance but it did not.- sometimes the signal goes off and returns again.
