Increased wifi speed 20x. I'm blown away.
i am blown away by how well this worked. We have an almost dead zone in my parents' family room, where we like to sit and watch tv at night. The connection is weak and flits in and out. I first tried an Airport Express, but that only works well with an Apple router, and even when I found my old Apple router, maybe that extender doubled the speed of my connection. It wasn't great. Worse yet, the Apple extender kept losing the signal, and I'd have to unplug and replug it every day. So I returned it, and based on reviews on a few tech sites, claiming this had great range and fast speeds, I bought the AC1750 extender. I am blown away.1. Set up. Easy as can be. We have an xfinity router from Arris, password protected. All I had to do was plug the extender in, let it boot up, press the WPS buttton on the router, then press the "lock" button on the extender, and half a minute later it was done. (In fact, I had to press the wps button a second time on the router, as the first time nothing happened.) That was all I had to do, and it worked!2. Function. We tried a few different electrical outlets in the family room. The first "only" increased the internet speed by a factor of ten. Just on a lark I plugged it in in a different outlet in the same room. Now our connection in that room is faster by a factor of 20. It's insane. I've attached a Speedtest image. The 4-5 mbps download speeds in that image are before I installed the extender. The 37-58 Mbps speeds are from the first location of the extender. And the 88-89 Mbps speeds are from the final location. That's the same speed I get when standing next to our actual Arris router in the kitchen.I simply cannot believe this thing works as well as it does. It's been a day and so far it hasn't lost the connection at the final location. It did not however like the previous location, and was blinking its disatisfaction, so you just move it.The only real negative I found is what someone else reported: you can log into the extender via a URL once. The second time you try, you get an error, and then it's far more complicated to log in without resetting the entire thing. Also, I tried to update the firmware and kept getting error messages when unzipping the firmware download. Still have solved either of those problems.But that aside, this is an amazing device. I've tried three other extenders in this house, and this is the only one that has consistently worked, not dropped the signal, and has boosted the signal to speeds equal to standing right next to the main router. It's only been 24 hours that I've had this extender, and I'll update this review if things change, but this thing is simply amazing.UPDATE: It's been a few weeks and this thing hasn't lost the signal once. Can't praise this enough. It's exactly what I've been looking for, for several years now.

Very good
The best you can buy, quality is also good, interface of their app is also good, value for money if you get it under 30$, speed is very good and very minimal jitters.

A bit pricey, but it works like a champ!
If you follow the directions, this WiFi extender is a snap to get up and running. After I did the required setup, I moved it into the location where I was having problems. Voila! I had a strong, consistent signal and my reception problems disappeared.I would caution those who are not technically adept to be sure you KNOW your username and password for your 2.4GHz and 5GHz existing wireless networks. Without that information, you'll be dead in the water and won't be able to complete the setup screen. That will sound obvious to those of you who are experienced in setting up network devices, but in my experience many people never change the router default password for wireless.I'm also deducting one star because I have a minor issue with this otherwise fine piece of electronics. The shape of the unit requires that the plug below it, (in a duplex outlet) either be empty, or have a small, unobtrusive or flat-top plug. Otherwise, the bottom of the WiFi extender will hit the plug and you won't be able to plug it in. I was able to find a 1-foot extension cord that had a flat top that I used in the bottom outlet that allowed another device to be plugged in the bottom while the AC1750 fit above it.The Wirecutter recommended this range extender, and I trust their judgement. Immediately after installing it, my reception problems were gone! The interface is a snap to use, and I had absolutely no problems or anomalies when I then put it into it's final location. I also updated the firmware in the unit, and it can now also act as a WAP as well as an extender. DHCP can be left in Auto, On or Off, depending on your requirements. If you're just using it as an extender, you can ignore that setting altogether as Auto works perfectly and recognizes that another DHCP server is on-line. For me, since I don't need DHCP, I turned it off.One other feature I liked was the ability to turn the LED indicators on and off according to a schedule. My AC1750 is located in our bedroom. The LEDs are pretty bright, but using the configuration page I shut them off from 9PM to 10AM so during normal sleeping hours I don't even know it's there. Nice feature.I've only owned this unit a couple days, but I am very impressed with the coverage I'm getting. Hearing that, it may seem picayune to deduct one star based on the issue with the plug, but at this price, there could have been an option to mount the unit directly to a wall with an adapter and then plug in only a power supply, not the entire unit. Nonetheless, this is a well designed unit that will go a long way to giving you complete WiFi coverage in your home.
