Was sceptical that a wifi extender would work for my study upstairs as have real issues getting signal from the ground floor to the upstairs bedrooms. A mixture of really thick walls and pipes I guess as well as wooden doors block wifi signals. I tend to prefer 5G rather than 2G as well as the speeds are better with all the other wifi units in the area interfering with the signals.
I set it up with my access points downstairs and took it upstairs to the hallway, and now all rooms are serviced so well with a decent wifi speed so I can work productively from my office now. Fantastic! I used to use a power line extender with an old wifi router but it kept dropping out and signal on the power line extender was dreadful. I get up to 96Mb/s download out of a 200Mb/s line upstairs which is more than sufficient for what I need it for. Latency is only 22ms as well so not too bad for work. If I was gaming, I'd probably need higher speeds, but for voice and network it's great!
Highly recommended.
