This extender has worked wonders. It extends the wifi and it’s so easy to set up and speeds are great ! At first every 2 days i would have to unplug it because it wouldnt work but since then it has worked great and i no longer have those issues. It works smoothly and your phone automatically switches to the higher speeds whether it’s the router or extender.
Thus far the router has been working really well. The strength is notable in the distant rooms with semi sound proof walls. Good price and good product.
Cannot pick up 5G signal effectively at <20 ft from the router in the apartment, it is no better in range than the old N750 I have...
