This is the best Product to Extend Wifi Signal Around Your House and Easy to Setup
Wifi coverage in my home has always been spotty, I've tried a couple different routers with limited success for whole house coverage. So I decided to give the rock space wifi extender a try and I'm glad I did. Since installing the extender we rarely have a buffering issue watching videos. Our wireless devices work flawlessly in the extended area. Installation could not have been easier. I used the suggested WPS method for setup, my existing WiFi router has a WPS button, so I simply plugged in the Rock Space AC750 WiFi repeater into a wall outlet near my existing router, pressed the WPS button on the router, pressed the WPS button on the repeater then I had the blue led ( successful connection) in less than a minute. I then unplugged it and moved it to a bedroom opposite end of house.Now it works just as I hoped and expected.

Item works great for only 10 min.

Product worked for 10 min. After that, wifi connection was lost permanently. I originally rated this item five stars because I was prompted by the company to do so for a free gift. It definitely does not work.

Works Great, Awesome product

I received my WIFI extender 5/28/19. I live in an older home which has 3 full levels and very thick lath and plaster walls and solid real wood bedroom doors. I have been looking for a solution to my WIFI issues for almost 2 years, have been forced to hard wire my streaming Television and my laptop even though they are within 10 feet of my WIFI router (outside of my bedroom door).I have had the ISP out to my house 4 times to fix, replace, upgrade my WIFI router and resolve my issues. Some of the issues were very slow web page loading, freezing and inability to view video playback. My television streaming was a joke. Right in the middle of a great movie - as if it was timed just to piss me off, the screen would freeze- and I would have to reboot my router. I have the best WIFI plan offered in my area = 100mbps download 10mbps upload. But that's only on 5GHz bandwidth. The more common 2.4 GHz (which is better at going through walls and obstructions and reaches further) is much slower - and is not capable of 100Mbps on the actual data/packet download speed on the internet - while connect speed to the actual router usually shows higher, actual internet download speeds are typically not much above 52- 65mbps.

Fast forward to today 5/12/2019. After setting up my WIFI repeater/extender using WEP (5 minutes) I was first impressed that I was able to view the NEW 2 SSID's created by the new WIFI repeater/extender in that it used my same existing 2.4GHz and 5GHz SSID names - and simply created the additional SSID's with "EXT" at the end of the 2 new SSID's. This was very nice since I did not have to create/change the 2 new SSID's in order to easily recognize them.
Once I strategically placed my new WIFI extender repeater - I now have awesome performance on both my Laptop and my streaming television (using 5GHZ and removing the Ethernet cable).
Awesome product.
PS. last week I connected, via WIFI, Two 1080p security cameras - with night vision, PTZ (Panning, Tilt, Zoom) all accessible from my cell phone - anywhere in the world that I can get a cell signal or WIFI.
I have not experienced any lag or other issues -even after adding these 2 cameras onto my network.
I recommend this product.

Exactly as advertised!

A few months ago, we upgraded our standard cable-company router to broadcast in 5G because the basic configuration was stalling and increasingly slow. The 5G configuration, as one would expect, increased speed, but signal strength also decreased compared to the 2.4GHZ setting. This is normal for 5G, unfortunately, and I subsequently noticed that my connection would frequently drop, or I would not be able to connect at all in certain rooms in the house. After a bit of research, I decided that it was worth trying a signal extender.

I came across the Dual-Band Rock Space WiFi extender while searching Amazon. I'd never heard of the brand, but the reviews were strong and the price was in the mid-range of extenders that can broadcast in 5G. The 5G capability was most important to me, but I was also drawn to the ease of set-up. Upon receipt, my experience matches the best reviews of the product.

Out of the box, the instructions are clear and easy to follow. Plug it in near your router, first, and then connect it. I used the WPS set-up option - though you can also set up the extender through a web browser. The led light readout and the WPS button are on the front of the extender, which is common-sense design. Within seconds, the extender was connected, and I then relocated the extender to reach the dead spots. (You will likely want to locate the extender equidistant from your router and any dead zones in your house. The extender will flash red if you plug it in too far from the router.)

Once I connected my devices to the extender, my signal-strength issues were no more. I have maintained full bars in every room where I had previously lost connection, even though the extender is a few rooms away. Overall, I'm very pleased with the hardware and feel it's worth the price! (The ease-of-use and unassuming design of the extender itself are also pluses.)

The best thing about this WiFi Extender is it simply works, which you'd come to expect but often times hasn't been the case. If your router/modem has a WPS button, it's just a matter of pushing 2 buttons to get them sync'd up. Just remember your devices connecting to the extender need to look for the EXT or 5GEXT WiFi names, not the regular network name.

Bought to for my ring doorbell and xbox!!

I wasn't very sure of buying this in the very beginning but decided to take a chance and here we are, I am very satisfied with the product. The main reason I needed is because my signal from my router to front door is very far and cannot reach my doorbell. Speed is good enough for the purpose of it.

Great Product! Easy to use and install!

Normally I don’t write product reviews but this product warranted one. I needed a WiFi signal booster to increase the signal strength to reach my TV in my garage (approximately 150 feet from my router, with multiple walls separating the TV and router). After doing some initial research, I came across this make and model. I read the reviews and looked at the specs and decided to give it a try. Once it arrived at my house, it was super easy to set up and install, even for someone not technically inclined like myself. I simply took it out of the box, plugged the extender into an outlet and followed the easy to read instructions. Five minutes later, my TV had connected to the device and was working flawlessly!

Fast forward 24 hours and I am still pleased with this product. I have moved the location of the signal booster as it did have some trouble maintaining a strong signal through multiple walls and at a distance of over 50 feet. Now that I have moved the signal booster, my TV is getting much more consistent WiFi signal.

Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to increase their WiFi signal strength!

It was easy to setup using the WPS option - took less than 2 minutes. It does create 2 WiFi extended networks. One with _EXT added to the end of your existing network name and one with _5GEXT. Was a little confusing at first as I was trying to move my Ring device from an existing extended network (older device which was not always reliable) to my new WiFi extender. At first couldn't figure out why my Ring device couldn't see the _5GEXT network that my phone was able to connect to and could only see the _EXT network. I thought the _EXT network was my old extended network which I had to keep on at first to connect to my Ring device to change the network it was using. Once I disconnected my old device, I realized my new Rock Space extender was assigned the same name as my old device for the regular bandwidth. Evidently the Ring device wasn't able to see the _5GEXT bandwidth. It would have been helpful if the extender installation instructions specifically stated that 2 extended Wi-Fi networks would be created and that not all devices would be able to see the 5G network. Would have saved time in resetting the WiFi network on my Ring device. Otherwise, I am very happy with the signal strength the Rock Space extender is providing for my Ring device and the ease of setup.

I got this up and running in less than 5 minutes. I could have used the WPS facility, but chose not to, since I wanted to be more 'involved' in the installation process. I followed the instructions and set it up using my Windows 10 laptop in no time.

I use the device as a repeater, and it generates two separate bands; a 2.4 GHz band and a 5 GHz band. The WiFi signal now in my basement is much stronger!

Not a bad WIFI Extender

July 23, 2019

I purchased this extender simply for my parents due to them not having great signal in their bedroom. The router simply couldn’t reach them from across the house. So I did some research and for the performance to price point, this definitely is the best. I was able to plug and go with this, I preferred to use the web portal to login to. Pretty simple, add a password here, create a password there, give the network a name. Worked great!

I had tested it using Ookla speed test and my parents use Comcast Xfinity. The normal speed ranges from 150-200mbps, with the extender I was seeing 125 to 150mbps. Not too bad of a loss of signal. I wish there was no signal loss but it’s what these devices do and that’s okay.

Compared to the $100 similar one at Walmart, that had only did 100mbps but this one was $40 and did 150mbps. Yeah, I’m pretty happy about this purchase!!

I bought this unit to extend my wi-fi, hopefully improving the weak signal I was getting at my backyard Ring security camera. The signal was showing 80 RSSI before the Rock Space device, and 59 RSSI after installing the extender. Smaller RSSI readings are better. Anything below 70 RSSI is typically acceptable. Works great...

When installing, I suggest using the instructions "method two" (use the WPS buttons on the router and extender to sync devices). That was very easy.
