As a blogger there is nothing more important than have internet access. Let’s be honest that is important for most people due to all of the technology we use but I need it for work so I have to be sure that my router is on top of its game. I have had to replace three router over the years always having to get one that did a little bit more. I even had an extender as well. Thanks to the HomeScreen Dual Band AC Router/Range Extender I can now have both in a very small unit.

I love the size of this router/extender because my desk is already pretty full of stuff. Not to mention that my printer stand is bursting at the seams. Another issue is that I live out in the country and have the wonderful joy of dropped service! It is so great and I just love it….NOT!! I need an extender so that I can still use my tablet, laptop, or other devices in places other than right next to the router in and around the house. I was nervous about was how long it was going to take to get everything set up. It took me about 20 minutes (because I kept having to stop and answer the dang phone) to get the HomeScreen Dual Band AC Router/Range Extender set up and ready to go. Some features include:

 

  • HomeScreen is the easiest and most feature-packed router on the market. Blazing fast dual-band 802.11ac signal with integrated touch screen, cloud control via any desktop, iOS or Android device and custom apps add-ons. 
  • Easy Set Up in Under 3 Minutes Use the on screen wizard to set it up as a router or range extender without logging in to a complex admin panel or even a computer! Just follow the simple on-screen guide and you’re done. 
  • Build a powerful network or extend any existing one HomeScreen can be used as a router or as a range extender for any existing home, hotels and other public wireless network with a touch of a button. In both settings it will work with any internet modem (Cable, DSL, Fiber, etc.) regardless of your provider (Comcast, Time Warner, AT&T, Verizon etc.) 
  • Elegant design and integrated appsHomeScreen comes out of the box with built-in free apps that allow you to monitor and control devices on your network. The touchscreen can display the weather, time or even family photos stored on the cloud! Plus, HomeScreen is so attractive you’ll want to leave it out on your counter top or even mount to your living room wall to show it off.


The first thing I should say is make sure that you read the instructions because you will need to completely power down your modem and if you don’t read that you may not do it. I always do because it drives all of the men in my life (my brothers especially) crazy. I must tell you that I went from dropping internet service in my bedroom (which by the way is behind the wall where my modem sits) to having service all the way out into my back yard. That has made a world of difference to me. Be sure to use the code BLOGGY20 to get 20% off your purchase of the HomeScreen Dual Band AC Router/Range Extender.

  1. Nice review! Amazing reach with this device …and we definitely need to look into it!

    • It is a wonderful device and I am so glad that I got the chance to experience it. I don’t know how I survived without it before.

  2. enjoyed the review, thanks! I think this is actually something I could use-at my house the router is downstairs in the living room but getting the wifi to work in the upstairs bedrooms reliably has been sketchy at times. I will have to check this out because my poor daughter has been complaining she’s been unable to stream from Netflix/Hulu on her Xbox so something like this definitely is on my list of to buy items.

    • That was a problem for us as well. Our old worked great in the office area but the second you went into another room or outside you lost service and fast.

  3. Perfect, thank you for the review..I really need one of these so I can do some laptop work in my room but now I almost lose signal in my kitchen which is the next room over

    • It seems silly to lose it one room over doesn’t it? However that is always how it seems to happen.

  4. Thanks for the review! We have a two story home and our kids compain of spotting wireless up in their rooms. They are above the garage. This might be just the ticket to solve that issue.

  5. Thanks you for this review! I live in a very rural area and my router doesn’t reach as far as I would like it to. This could be the answer! 🙂

    • This would be the answer. You get both a router and extender in one small device that packs a powerful punch.

  6. This sounds like a great product! I think my SIL might need to know about this!
