This was a godsend for my 2-story home. We've always, always had crappy wifi. I had to get 4 nodes for my home to really be to the level I wanted it to be, but it feels worth it, considering that some wifi routers go for around, say, 300 dollars, which is about what I spent on 4 nodes. They're easy to hook up, no gimmicks, just the app and the 'add node' button after plugging in a node for around... 1 minute of setup. I would highly recommend, if you're like me and literally in the opposite corner of a large multi-story home away from the main router; to finish your connection with a wired, direct connection to your gaming device. Otherwise, yes, you'll sometimes get maximum speeds on a mobile device just by utilizing the 'mesh functionality' aka 'roaming'. But once you get to the corner of the home, in the corner of a room, behind or next to a bunch of extra monitors, electronics, and solid walls, you may need that one extra node, or a direct connection, etc etc. To help you get the best speeds. League of Legends, for example, completely wireless with 3 nodes was acceptable, but not as smooth as my old power-adapter power-line setup. With 4 nodes and a wired connection at the end, my game was as smooth as it used to be via the power adapter. Finally, to explain why I switched from the power-adapter? Power adapters are a little finicky when it comes to the home suddenly using a lot of electricity, or when you need extra power slots in your wall and you try to connect the power adapter into any sort of extender outlet. Also, mesh wifi allowed me to also get my phone and laptop onto the stronger connections even all the way down in my bedroom. All in all, so far so good. I bought it twice! The app isn't horrible at all (I'm quite picky), and setup is easy. Cool! (Also, they don't look too bad in a modern home. The black+white aesthetic is classy and isn't too distracting in the kitchen. Looks good!)
