What's great about it: Installed hidden under granite counter and works great for area.
Works great. Electric plug in near the wireless router and pushed the buttons in the instructions on the router and device and it installed itself. It automatically picked up my long phrase password on the router. Then I unplugged it and moved it where I had the weak signal and it worked. Easy. Now, you DO need to go to your all computers, iPads, and/or smart-phones you own and SEARCH for the new wireless router network which this is. It will mirror your existing one with the letters "-EXT" at the end. I have a Droid, iPad, Iphone, a laptop and Macbook, and they all had to be manually configured to find and setup the new wireless network but is the same as you would any place wireless is offered, find it and connect with your router's password (dig it up since you last set it up). Lastly, When you move from one side of the house to the other, you need to switch the wireless router on them to get the stronger of the two signals.

Very easy to setup. I used to get low wifi signal in my room since my room is in the far end of my house. After setting up the range router, it's been giving me full signal with 130mbps. ;)

What's great about it: Nothing Great. Would not purchase again
What's not so great: Short range. unreliable connection. difficult to set up.
Got this extender because of poor wifi signal at far end of my house. Unit is weak and has a short range of it own. Very difficult to set up and tech support was worthless. I finally got it to work by finding a forum talking about the same problems I was having. The unit also cuts out and is unreliable.

What's great about it: Internet connection for about ten minutes
What's not so great: Nothing.
My wifi didn't reach my PC hooked up in the bedroom. Reaches everywhere else, so it's not like the wifi is the problem, just the span. Got this to extend wifi connection to said PC... It connects beautifully for about ten, twenty minutes tops, then the connection totally cuts off. Bought the geek squad to go with it too but what am I supposed to do bring it in and say.. It only works for ten minutes then stops for a reason unknown to me. Fix it? Not even worth the stress. Just don't buy it. It's sill plugged into my wall. If you only need the Internet for like ten minutes, use it.

What's great about it: just plug it in and turn it on
What's not so great: Takes away a plug space which matters in an old house that has such a limited amount of plugs to start with
I'm pleased with my purchase the price was reasonable the product does the job it says it's going to do and I would recommend it to others.

What's great about it: Get continuous service for both ends of the house (long ranch style with quite a distance from satellite)
Thanks for making a great product. Over the past 2-3 years, our servicee was intermittent and slow, especially since we are in a remote area & have satellite service only. We now have very few breaks in service.

What's great about it: It works just like the packaging says
What's not so great: It doesn't fit into the outlet as easily as I'd like
I needed to get about 20-30 more feet of range, so I can use my various devices in a garage. After it's initial setup (which was very easy) I gained more than 50 feet, which made me very happy. I'd read other reviews, some not so good, but I gave it a shot, and I'm glad I did. It is kind of cumbersome fitting into an outlet, and may actually work better if it was plugged into a power strip so it could be laying down, but that's the only bad press I can give it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Good connection
What's not so great: Set up
Purchased due to brand reputation, price and what appeared to be easy set-up. This proved to be a little deceiving as our older version of router made initial set-up a little confusing. I must admit we are not. Most tech savvy individuals. Once connection was made, it has been working fantastic.

What's great about it: installation
What's not so great: acutally reduces overall router range when used
in small places it might be ok. if you are trying to extend in larger areas you are not told that the unit actually reduces the routers overall effectiveness.

What's great about it: User Friendly..very easy to set up.
What's not so great: Kind of bulky looking
Our home had a very weak internet signal due to the location of our router, only 1-2 bars typically. I bought this hoping to resolve that and it has worked perfectly. Our iphones are now able to pick up our wireless signal in the house, therefore eliminating all the data usage on our wireless phone bill!! We are even able to pick up the signal outside by our pool area now.
