fast connect/easy - doesn't play well w/ATT Gatewa
this would be super perfect if the software played well w/ATT Gateway. ATT setup is one name for both 2.4G and 5G. even thought my 5G is viewable as Guest network,TP-Link doesn't see it. this works for me though, as most of my needs are for 2.4G connections to cameras, etc.

My Review of My Dual Band Range Extender
I think this extender has increased the range of my internet. However, it did not increase the range as much as I thought it would. Maybe there is something else wrong with my access to the internet in my master bedroom.

Range Extender
Works Great! Very versatile - but that leads to confusing instructions - and I am familiar with routers and range extenders. Turns out there is an extremely simple way to set it up that did not need all the confounding verbiage.

Not worth it
This booster did not boost the signal by much. Not worth it.

Works well
Placed in garage to enable boiler monitoring over the internet. This unit was easy to set up thanks to some well conceived instructions. It is accomplishing its purpose.
