Getting more signals without the wires!
on February 14, 2012

from Plymouth, MA
I use it in...:Large home
Easy to use. Initially I purchased a wireless booster to get internet across the street to my home. Still had the same amount of signals with that and my Verizon wirelss router across the street. So, I returned that and got this placing it in my attic. Now my home is covered with internet from across the street. So if you already have a few signals reaching your laptop, get this and place it high above. (Less cars in between.)
Geek squad helped explain how to make it work and how easy it is to use it. After pressing on the WPS button and then the Verzon button, i found it in my other networks on my mac, then when i tried to open a page, it took me automatically to the settings page. I got confused at the part when it asked me what my Passphrase should be. I entered any name but when it ased for Key, I put the same Verzon password that comes on my Verizon Wireless router. After that was done, it asked you to check a box if its connected or not. Even if you check it, and press continue, I wasnt connected. You have to go back to "look for network" and find the new network name and add your old (Verizon) passord. So all this took me 5 minutes with both wireless devices. I unplugged the new device, walked across the street, went to my attic and plugged it in. Told myself I'd write a good review and hope I did. So I found my magic device that can finally work. Hope my instructions helped because I got confused (e.g. what the hell is a passphrase and key) and had to ask someone that knows his stuff as Best Buy and figure it out. I dont think there are any other stores like Best Buy that lets you play with their products until you find the right one which I finally did. Thanks Best Buy!

What's great about it: 5 minute setup without buying extra expensive ethernet cables.
What's not so great: Instructions. What is a passphrase? or Key?
I would recommend this to a friend!
