Pros & Cons
Pros
Speed around 70 ish mbps. Works on both 2 and 5g networks and can easily paired to the home router using the wps button on the device. Made my youview box work online after a change of isp.
This product is absolutely fantastic at doing what it is meant to be doing. Seems to work as described, reliably and over a considerable range. Used to replicate wifi signal to the top of a 3 storey house.
Can now play 3 things via wifi with tv streaming in house. Was reasonably good to set up and provides a good dual band network. Easy to install if taken slowly - the process is very logical.
Cons
Wifi signal is weak from literally 3 metres away, in the line of sight, constantly disconnecting. Connecting ok to router but wifi not great in room next to booster. Range is barely extended - just a few metres more than the router.
Pointless, expensive and infuriating. Not the cheapest but very poor value.

Had to buy this to replace an earlier model that's been permanently connected for over 3 years, but failed.

We have had different boosters in the past which turned out to be a waste of money.

In reality i shouldnt have needed a network extender as i live in a singlefloor 2 twobedroomed building but the wifi signal had difficulty with the layout and as i regularly have zoom meetings for work i needed a good strong signal

Not that easy to set up however having said that i’m not technically minded at all and i went on utube and i watched videos of people setting their booster up and i followed the video step by step i had to do a factory reset which utube showed me how to do it and i have managed to set it up now
