BrosTrend WiFi Extender AC1200 WiFi Booster and Signal Amplifier, 1200Mbps Dual Band WiFi Extender Signal Booster for Home Coverage Up to 1600 sq.ft. Internet Booster, WPS Easy Setup, Wall Plug Design

This is an honest review of this product. It did not increase my internet megabits. My numbers stayed the same. My opinion about this device: If you have devices that are FAR from your router, have this product plugged in close to proximity to where those devices are located. This product extends your Wi-Fi. I have Wi-Fi cams outdoors. My router is far from those cams. I have this product plugged in rather close to my cams. I noticed a big difference when I wanted go make my cams talk to my phone. So yes, this product works. Also to let you know, you have the option to sign into this products own Wi-Fi. You will have two different Wi-Fi networks as soon as you plug this product in. Just imagine you being able to stretch your Wi-Fi signal farther on your property or in your house. It's that simple. I would recommend buying this if you have a situation like mine. I hope this review helps you.***UPDATE*** It has been a few weeks since the first review. I regret buying it. It does not stay connected. If you buy this, be ready to start seeing a red flashing light on the unit. That means the extender is too far away from your router. So move it closer to see if the red light goes away. It will stay blue for a few days making you think the problem is fixed but when you least expect it, it goes red. Gets pretty annoying when I am at work and cannot check my Wi-Fi cams at home to see what is going on. You get what you pay for I guess. Maybe if we spend more money and buy a stronger extender but this one is a wimp and needs to be close to your router so what's the point?

Thank goodness this does what it says! I had no idea which extender to buy, and took a chance on this one. The directions were easy to understand and follow. I paired the device w my router only having to push 1 button. I then took the extender outside to our garage( which isn't attached to our house), for my son's "man cave" to have a better signal. It works beautifully! The signal strength went from 1 bar all the way to 5- it filled our WiFi signal. I was able to stay on our home network much farther than ever before. We live in a small town on a dead end, w a few acres. I'm also able to move it to diff locations - like on the 2nd floor of our house to strengthen our signal for gaming purposes. This was the best decision I could've made when it comes to an extender. I have a Netgear nighthawk router. Easy pairing, huge performance boost. Highly recommend.

Overall I'm happy with the performance but I was a little frustrated at first. The installation seems fairly simple but can be problematic. First off there are no instructions on or in the box. You need to watch the YouTube video online or on Amazon. When I first plugged it in and the light came on I searched my phone settings and did not find the generic unsecured WiFi BrosTrend. It had listed 4089Isabella_EXT. which was a secured network. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I tried several times and couldn't get it to work. I watched the video again and then tried to connect via WPS. That didn't work but I found out that there is a reset button on the bottom to stop the search for WPS and go back to the factory settings. Once I reset it I saw the BrosTrend_EXT come up and the rest of the installation was easy. I think that this might have been a used or refurbished model that someone forgot to reset before they sent it to me. Now that I got it working I moved it around the house to different locations. Most of the time I would get the red light indicating it was too far away. It only seems to work when it is fairly close to the source WiFi, only one or two rooms away. I finally got a good connection signal and was somewhat skeptical about the location. I went downstairs where I have most of my signal loss and my phone connected to the Extended WiFi and the signal was at maximum level. I've only had it for a day but it seems to be working well. It would have been less frustrating if I had know in advance the types of issues I would run into during the initial installation. There is a note in the box to extend the warranty by 6 months by sending an email to the address and include your Amazon order number. I sent the message and got a reply that they extended the warranty from 24 to 30 months.

I purchased this, because it looked like it was just what I needed, and they made it appear easy to install, but I couldn't get it to do a thing. I plugged it in a socket about 3 ft. from the router, and pressed the WPS button within the 2 minutes after the router started, and it wouldn't connect, so I moved it closer to the router, and I did everything the instructions said to do, and it wouldn't connect. I didn't call tech support, because I had just spent what seemed like forever on the phone with Spectrum to see what the reason was for the slow internet speed, and was told it was the router, and that if the TV in the room closest to the router was working fine, then the Netgear router wasn't strong enough, so because this was supposed to be so simple to install & so great, I decided to buy it, even though I didn't have any problems with the slow internet or router until the pandemic hit. Strange, I know. I spent half the day messing with this thing, and then had to take it to town to return it. A big waste of time!!!
