High Power 700mW Dual Band AC Wi-Fi Range Network Extender (REA20)

The Amped Wireless High Power 700mW Dual Band AC Wi-Fi Range Network Extender REA20 shows a mixed reception among users, highlighting both strong points and significant drawbacks. On the positive side, many customers commend the device for its easy setup and the improvement it brings to Wi-Fi coverage in homes plagued with dead zones. Users have reported a vast improvement in signal strength in various areas of their houses, with some customers even praising the US-based technical support for its efficiency and helpfulness in resolving initial configuration issues. Several reviews indicate that after installation, these users experienced minimal speed losses and no further connectivity problems, making the extender a viable recommendation for those suffering from poor Wi-Fi coverage. However, not all experiences have been favorable. Some users expressed disappointment over the device's limitations related to channel retransmission, as the extender operates on the same channel as the existing access point. This results in substantial speed reductions – in some cases, even cutting internet speeds to half or worse, leading to increased latency. Several reviewers also reported experiences with device dropouts and difficulties connecting to other devices, undermining the overall performance of the extender. Overall, while the Amped Wireless REA20 may improve Wi-Fi coverage for some users, its limitations in speed retention and multi-device usability have led to significant dissatisfaction among others contemplating an investment at this price point. **
