Does what I needed it to.
A $50 new extender in my detached garage gave out after a power failure. I replaced it with an identical item that barely worked. I have no idea why it would work for an hour, then give out, then start working again, etc. I moved it all over the garage attic. If it was close to the Roku in the garage it wouldn't connect to the internet. If It was close enough to attach to the internet, the Roku wouldn't keep a connection. And when I hit a place where the extender would attach both to the internet and the Roku, it would be very intermittent. Again, the first one had worked just fine in the same situation. I don't know if there's increased interference in our rural neighborhood or what.
At any rate, I thought I'd try an upgrade. I found this one with return privileges at a good price. I had the same issues with placement as the cheaper unit, but I was able, eventually to find a place in the attic where the internet signal could get all the way to my Roku. I also have an old PC out there with a 5G wireless dongle. Though the PC seems to think it has a stronger signal from the 2G connection, once I got things where it would regularly connect to the 5G (4 bars) it downloaded things much faster.
In other words, it's not a perfect solution, but it got me back to where I was two years ago with a much cheaper unit. So it's a win for me.
