Actiontec 802.11ac Wireless Network Extender with Gigabit Ethernet (WEB6000Q02)

I have a 30/30 service from my provider. I could only get 15/13 wifi at my computer. My router was in the garage and my computer was upstairs in the spare room. I installed the extender in my hall coat closet. Ran a CAT6 cable from the router, across the garage, in the crawl space, up into the closet. Now I get 27/26 on my computer almost doubled the speed. Also my television in the bedroom was not able to upload from Netflix as the signal was too weak from the router. With the extender I can now watch Netflix in the bedroom. After installing the extender I did more research on my router and found it to be a little dated on the Wifi. I then installed a new router which did provide a stronger signal with more speed. My computer and television remain on the extender. I would recommend the extender but check out your router and see if it has the latest Wifi protocols. See what speeds it can accommodate. Then see what is on the market. A new router might save you the trouble of hardwiring a router. As I read what I just said I guess the down side is having to hardwire the extender but it wasn’t a big deal to me as I had a fairly easy route and I am handy doing things.
