My wi fi speed drops off from 20 Mbps to 1 or 2. I don't know why. Will this device stop that?

How old is your house? If you have a newer not more than 12 - 15 years old it should work fine. Older than that the wiring may or may not support these devices transfer of data through the electrical system. Hope this helps

It is common to loose data rate when using extenders but only about 20% unless your network is congested or you are operating in a very poor environment with interference.

You really need to detail out what exactly the problems are your experiencing. I have no trouble with mine as long as the signal strength is low/medium to good. If you explain more I may be able to help. Are you not able to connect with your home router or are you having problems with other WiFi hotspots. Bob

Jeff, I don't believe your connection speed will be limited by the top end of the device, whatever that might be, but by your service provider.

There is a slight 1 or 2 second delay but I believe it goes by the strength and signal of your Internet speed wifi set up. Then it operates on your cellular network outside of your home network as well with a slight delay.

How many devices are you running on the router? Did you configure it with the intellistream enabled? This can improve your performance. If you have to many devices running on the Wi-fi it can impact the bandwidth each device running will slow things down.

No, I Have a dual band router and it only picks up 2.4. In fact that is my last favorite part of this laptop is the wireless. It constantly drops my wifi. It shows connected bit is not. I've bought a new USB wireless and a new w router to make sure it's my network card's issue. Other than that, it's been a good laptop.

My computer, the Aspire R7-571, does have the wifi issue. I wrote about it in my review. I still use a single band 2.4ghz router. When close to the router, I get about half speed. Instead, I use a wireless adapter in one of my USB ports and works great. I get full speeds that way.

It's probably much faster than a home-grade router thing, I'd disable the WiFi you have and use 1 or more of these.

Hi Jeff, to my understanding that is determined more by the level of service available in your area as far as who your Internet provider is. I was very happy with the device itself and the speed of the service in my area. The more traffic there is on the network the slower the speed.

I am not an expert or anything but i'll tell you what I did. I made no adjustments just installed right out of the box and followed the exact instructions. I have 5ghz connections to their connections and the others regular. I have my router upstairs and on a 20mbps plan I get between 24-27 dload with 6-7 upload (speedtest.net) I did notice with either my galaxy s3 or wireless laptop (both 5ghz) I get faster speeds downstairs than in the same room as rhe router. Weird but true. My desktop gets about 26-28 wired. Make sure u don't haveany dead spots in the house that are causing slow speeds. In my house if I go from my family room to my living room like 20 feet away my speeds literally cuts in half. Dload the app for netgear (Wi-Fi analytics) and see which areas of your house give you what speeds. Like I mentioned in my review I had the asus rt-n66u dark knight and saw no improvement over this. Pretty much identical. Good luck and try the app in multiple spots of your residence.

The extender should be somewhere in between the device you are trying to connect and the router. It'll essentially double the range of your WiFi ( if placed in the right place) But it will slow down its speed tremendously.

Hello - I find using this device very sporadic .. meaning my wifi kicks out every single day.. if I am away from unit say 100 feet - I am NOT very happy at all with the performance - BUT I say this .. not knowing if it is in fact our main router - although I did have another much less expensive device that I used (Securifi Almond-Touchscreen Wireless Router extender) and that worked so well .. but it was not meant for the outdoors. I wish I had done a bit more investigating .. for the money spent .. I am not happy ..sorry ..

Said relay mode, ever what that means. I asked the same question. I guess seeing I didn't know, they sent me the question. I believe it"might" be when the wifi signal does not receive to good. That's my quests. Good luck.

No, it does not effect my wifi. We also have a wifi extension because our wifi only go so far. This device does not effect the wifi extension either.

Probably not... it is just a terribly faulty piece of equipment. I even cut my service because the cable company would not see to the problem, and replace the unit. My brother even had the same issues with his and had the same problems, and he has told me he will do the same. There are Many, many reviews on this unit online to that all claim the same . It was just a bad make. Best solution, go with standard modem that you can get and run a router from it to get your wifi with good signal that likely won't drop ever...compared to the crappy Arris all in one P.O.S.

Yes, there seem to be some problem with it. Sometimes, I have to switch off - switch on WiFI to reconnect.
