WiFi Range Extender Portable Router- Mini N300 WiFi Range Extender,300Mbps Travel WiFi Repeater with Ethernet Port,Travel WiFi Router,WiFi Signal Booster for Home

Update 1/20/19 - I was given an opportunity to use this again so updating my review to 5 stars. I have a two story home and set this up on my main level in a room next to my router about 30 feet away. The setup using the WPS method went super easy and took less than 10 minutes including reading the instructions. It again created a unique SSID of xxx-2G_EXT. Note that this will only connect to and extend a 2.4Ghz network. It maintained strong connections with my laptop as well as my phone as seen in the pics and while my download speeds didn't come close to what is advertised, it was plenty sufficient to surf, read emails, and stream a movie from both devices simultaneously. I imagine my 2013 router from Charter has something to do with the lower speed. I did try to get this to connect outside again however I was unsuccessful. The area is about 75 feet (22 meters) away from my router and separated by an interior wall and an exterior one. It's 18 degrees today so I'll have to attempt again when it's warmer. But my purpose for getting this was to enhance my network around our deck and pool and as you'll see in the one pic, my phone would connect to the device however the device provided no internet. My phone connects directly to my router just fine. I just needed a stronger signal for some smart devices I use which another solution does provide. I imagine it's due to better quality internal wifi antennas with the other solution. So if you need to extend your 2.4Ghz signal indoors or maybe slightly outdoors this is definitely worth a look. ============= Original review - Although it connected to my wifi when set up near my router, it does not have a very good internal wifi antenna and would not connect to my main wifi signal to extend it when I put it where I needed it. And it creates a new SSID of xxx_Ext1 and whenever I would connect to that _Ext1 SSID this extender device would drop connection once I initiated some internet activity. Instructions were not clear either on which SSID to connect devices to but since this wouldn't even reconnect to my wifi in the spot I needed I just returned it.

This worked properly for one month. I was able to easily secure stable internet connections in several dead areas of my 2 story home. But now, though the extender's signal strength shows all bars on my devices, nothing connects. Not my Roku, smartphone, nor tablet.

Device received was faulty, vendor offered to replace

Great extension of my wireless. I have a" small office" in my unattached garage about 100 feet away from my cable company supplied Wi-Fi modem. I puchased this because I was having a hard time streaming movies, programs, audio books, etc., in my sewing room or in the other end of the house. It actually was able to reach this but the signal without the extender but it was weak and often dropped the connection or slow speed. I installed this Mini N300 repeater about 50 feet away. I now get great connectivity for my laptop. The initial setup is to: - Plug the Range Extender into an outlet (I put them side-by-side) very close to the modem. You DO NOT use an Ethernet cord to set this extender up. - Wait for the solid green LED power light of the extender. - Push the WPS button on the extender and another LED light will blink. - Push the WPS button on you old Modem and watch them connect. I had to look for the WPS button on the old modem because it not obvious but it does exist. - Once the Router LED light on the Extender is solid green, unplug the extender and move it into an area that already can receive some signal, (I placed the Extender 1/2 way between my office and the old modem) as it cannot "extend" what it cannot detect! - Select the new Network name it has created (it will be your old network name with an -EXT at the end) - Use the password you use on your existing Wi-Fi system and you are done! The price of extending the network is losing a bit more than half the speed, but I knew this coming into the project. If you manage those expectations, you will be happy also. I normally get 45-50 Mbps downloads on my main SSID. Using this extender, it drops to 15-18 Mbps. That's still plenty for streaming multiple Netflix programs at the same time. It has the added benefit of essentially rate-limiting anything that I put on the new SSIDs, meaning that any devices that use the extended network cannot use all of my available bandwidth. Unbeknownst to my kids, their games and downloads will never again ruin a conference call. This device really worth its price. I would buy this again.

my room is on the 2nd level corner, so I usually get pretty weak wifi signal, I didnt want to spend hundreds of dollars to fix this because it wasn't really a huge problem, I was looking for something inexpensive and so I found this, I plugged this in a wall socket that's pointing towards my room from the first floor, although the signal isn't crazy good still, but it is a lot better than before, so i gave it 4 stars, also, the setup was pretty easy, took me a couple minutes and that's it

Just to make this clear, I have never once reviewed a product but I felt the need to let people know how bad of an experience I had with this. I purchased this product in order to obtain a better internet connection in my room which was a bit far from my router. This product was extremely disappointing. The set-up was fairly simple and the instructions were clear, the issue came later when I connected to the repeated internet. I did a speed test on my regular wi-fi with a low signal and then i compared it to a test I did on the repeated wi-fi and the difference was substantial (almost half of what I got from my regular wi-fi) even though the repeater was literally a foot from my computer. In addition to having way slower speeds, (which I was okay with as long as it meant I had a stable connection) my internet was not stable whatsoever, I continually kept disconnecting at random which was a huge issue as I need a dependable connection in order to work on my online college work. I would not recommend this to anyone that I know and I hope this helps anyone who is curious and thinking about purchasing this product, trust me you'd be better off getting a really long ethernet cable and running it from your router to your computer.

It does the job very well. I found it easy to set up and use. I had a problem with the first one and the customer support was excellent. My emails were answered quickly and when I still couldn’t get it to work they sent a new one right away. The replacement works perfectly.

Do not buy this product. The app and the website they give you to connect and make this useful doesn't work. Tried multiple times, multiple devices and still nothing. Waste of money.
