Questions & Answers
Q: Is this extender a reliable solution for covering dead zones?
A: Yes. It reliably boosts signal in weak areas with easy placement and setup via WPS button
Q: Can I connect non‑Wi‑Fi devices through it?
A: Yes. The Ethernet port lets you connect wired devices like TVs or gaming consoles and extend Wi-Fi coverage to them .
Q: Does it interfere with other devices or slow down overall speed?
A: Some users report reduced speeds (often ~25–50 Mbps instead of advertised 300 Mbps) due to limitations of 2.4 GHz band and half-duplex nature of extenders
Q: Why is my extender’s Wi‑Fi slow even though I have high-speed internet?
A: Because it only supports 2.4 GHz single-band N speeds. Real-world throughput is often much lower than theoretical max due to protocol overhead and interference .
Q: Are there known connectivity issues or drops?
A: Occasionally- users have reported temporary disconnections requiring a reboot or DHCP settings adjustment to fix issues
