    Strong signal and fast speeds
    5 Stars
    Strong signal and fast speeds
    I live in a building with several neighboring wireless networks. As a result I had slow WIFI at about 200 Megabit/s, only ever reaching higher speeds during non-peak hours. However, that is not a problem for this device. It delivers fast speeds WiFi speeds of 500+ Megabit/s on my 1 Gigabit/s Internet service. I can also access the WiFi from the street and from my building's basement which is pretty neat.I purchased this device because it is easier to setup on a counter or desk than other access point designs.Setup of this device is easy, and you can configure it as a router, access point, or bridge. I set it up as an access point and used the same SSID as my other WIFI network so my devices can switch from point to point without any additional configuration needed.If you're considering a way to boost your WIFI in a crowded environment, consider trying this device it might just improve your situation as it did for me.
