Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm an IT Consultant who is constantly researching solutions for clients. This time I needed one for myself. I rarely write reviews, but I had to write this one. I just moved into a hundred year old brick house. The router is in my office, which is in the upstairs corner. The solid plaster walls created a serious problem getting a signal on the first floor. I had tried a wireless extender in the past in my old house with lousy results. I researched again, and decided on the Amped Wireless REC10 Extender, based on the reviews. I was blown away. It was fairly easy to set up with a nice web interface and wizard. I played around with it and reset it a couple of times using the reset button, until I understood the settings. I also had to move it around the house to several locations to find the optimal one, which just happened to be the front stairway, which had a power outlet. The signal to the router in my office was over 75% at it's final placement. I was concerned that it was too close to the router and wouldn't reach the rest of the house. I was wrong. Not only did it reach the kitchen perfectly, which previously had almost no signal, it also works in the basement! The power of this unit is amazing. The reach is much farther than I could have predicted. I was expecting to have to buy an antenna extender, but the small antenna that comes with it was more than sufficient. If it's too much, you can even attenuate it. Try this unit. You won't be disappointed.
