Wouldn't hold a connection

Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed an extender to provide coverage throughout a 2BR apartment. My D-Link router had to be at one end, and the signal would only carry about 1/2 through the apartment. The total distance isn't all that far -- maybe 60-70 feet. I am pretty sure the issue is network interference (there are at least 60 networks that my WiFi scanner picks up, at least 4-5 with strong signals inside the apartment. The Linksys extender seemed like a good option. However, it proved very difficult to get the router and extender to hook up. The WPS option seemed to work, but didn't stick. After several calls to customer service, I was finally able to make the link, but it wouldn't last for more than a few hours. To relink, I had to unplug the extender and replug it in. And then, even when the extender was linked with the router, several of my devices (like an iPad) wouldn't connect with the extender's signal. I have no reason to believe the extender wasn't working correctly -- it's just that it's not a very good solution when facing of a lot of network interference. So I returned the extender, and went for a different solution.
