The extender's free smartphone app lets you shut down the extender's Wi-Fi from your smart phone, so when you go to bed, you can put your extender to sleep too. Just hit "good night mode" in the app and see that the extender's Wi-Fi and LEDs are off during the night, leaving you or your family ready for a comfortable night's sleep.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Product, Easy to setup

5 out of 5 eggsVery Impressed

Pros: Extremely simple installation
Application for iPhone - Fantastic
Excellent value
Very good range both receiving the internet connection and rebroadcasting
Compact - No bigger than a 2 inch square wall charger

The total installation time was less than 10 minutes extending a secured connection. The one page installation document was as clear as anything I have ever used.

Cons: Limited custom configuration however this is not intended for a high tech install. It's intended to be installed by a "dummy." Anyone will be able to extend their wireless network.

Other Thoughts: Prior to installing this device, I've installed several wireless extenders. They have all taken considerable time configuring and then subsequent troubleshooting. This device and the sophisticated internal installation software nearly remove the human intervention. I was extremely impressed. If you have a larger area, you simply must try this unit. Plug it in somewhere between the existing wireless router and the dead zone. You will be impressed too.

Make sure that the outlet used to plug in the device is not on any timers or wall switch.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Easy setup. When works as designed, it's fantastic.

Cons: Worked great for about 4-5 months. Now I have to reset it almost daily. Loses connection often now which makes me have to reset from scratch or unplug and plug back in.

5 out of 5 eggsWonderful

Pros: Easy setup once you download the app. Good range. Good transfer rates. The size is great for where I have it.

Cons: none.

Other Thoughts: I have this connected to my phone's wifi hotspot (unlimited LTE with tethering). We only have a 1250 square foot house and the hot spot doesn't reach my office from our living room. I put the extender in a closet in the middle of our house and all is good now. I have all bars on my office computer compared with 1 or 2 with the phone hotspot. Great product and highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 eggsWorks like a charm!

Pros: Very easy setup with multiple options including using a smart phone. Solid connection through a few walls across the house.

Cons: None yet!

Other Thoughts: I would highly suggest this to anyone who is not terribly tech savvy because of the easy setup.

1 out of 5 eggsDead

Pros: None, besides it lasted 1 week.

Cons: This thing worked "OK" for about a week. Then the lights went red. I've factory reset this 3 times, and ran through the setup each time. It sees the Router at 100% (because I have it literally inches away), but after it restarts the first time it is just DEAD. Red light on the front never turns blue. My phone and tablet constantly connect and then obtain IP and then disconnect from it.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: This small, wireless, white device does not add clutter to the linving room tv area nor does it stand out against the white walls. Greatly improved wireless signal to smart tv. Guest bedroom dead spot is now gone. Another winner from NEWEGG.

Cons: None so far

4 out of 5 eggsTricky setup

Pros: Price on sale. Simple compact device. Put it on extension cord up on high ledge middle of house. Great coverage.

Cons: no wire, Wifi setup
It caused connection problems with some of the network computers while being set up. It's default is dynamic IP. As I was tracking IP address on router , it kept changing. Finally able to setup with WPS which worked excellent. Only way I could do it. Then I set fixed IP once in the utility and it has been stable since with no network problems.

Other Thoughts: Haven't had long enough to completely eval but so far is good deal.

5 out of 5 eggsWorth It

Pros: It works really well. Easy set up. I bought this for size and inexpensive cost. Don't really need it because we've already got a good Nighthawk router. But there is a spot in the basement with weak signal, This device brings the signal up from 35-40% to 80-85%.

Cons: Slow responses at the early setup!

Other Thoughts: Will see what happens after 3 months.

5 out of 5 eggsSurpassed my expectations

Pros: This little thing does exactly what it advertises, has an excellent antenna, I can't praise it enough.

Cons: I haven't really found one yet.

Other Thoughts: I bought this a little cautious that it was going to work as well as a more expensive Netgear Extender, but I was very, very pleasantly surprised, this little thing is excellent, very powerful antenna, good additional coverage and range.
