Question 1

I don't understand how some people give this 4-5 stars and others can't get it to work and give it 1 star??

Accepted Answer

I ordered one and later learned it was refurbished and that was why it wouldn't accept my password. When I got a replacement, it worked immediately and well. Fast forward a month and it's stopped working completely. That's how you get 1 and 5 star reviews for the same product.

Question 2

Does it create a new sid or does it exteneded your current sid, so one does not have to switch to differing networks when in range?

Accepted Answer

Dan Blake has the correct answer if you want to use your existing SSID.

You cannot set it up that way (same SSID) using the WPS method. You'll have to use a second computer or device (I used my phone). Additionally, you'll need to also use the same password(s) for your existing SSID(s) and restart Wi-Fi (let it reconnect once) on each device to get a seamless network.

If you want new networks, you can name then anything you want and set whatever passwords you want.

Question 3

My family has two appartments next to each other, both separate electrical installations. Would this work if we wanted to split the internet bill?

Accepted Answer

If you have an Internet installation (cable or Dish) in one apartment that is connected to a wi-fi router, you would be able to set up and pair the extender in the apartment with the wi-fi router, then plug the extender in an outlet in the other apartment. The extender network is protected with a password so only those who know the PW coils access your network connection.

Question 4

Has anyone connected a ps4 of xbox one to the wifi from the range extender? if so, signal and game play any good?

Accepted Answer

I have been using it for online gameplay and it has worked extremely well. I live in a basement apartment and the wifi wasn't great to play online and it was too far to set up a Ethernet cable. I have been using this both for wifi on other devices and put it close to my Xbox so I could hardwire it and noticed SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS. Ping dropped from over 300 to 45
