I installed a WN3000RP wifi extender in my daughter's house with very good results. Her situation was a two story house with the router inside a wooden electrical panel box in the back corner of the downstairs story. Wifi was pretty good in the downstairs but was poor upstairs, not bad at the back of the upstairs in the master bedroom but only fair in the other bedrooms and almost non existent at the front where the kitchen, dining room and living room are.
With the extender located in the upstairs hallway about 2/3 of the way towards the back corner above where the router is downstairs the coverage throughout the whole upstairs is now excellent. I think as long as the extender is getting a "50 percent" signal it will do a good job.
The signal from the extender seems to be stronger, more consistent and more stable than the signal from her router. I was so impressed that I ended up putting an extender in my own house.
I found the WN3000RP extender easy to install.
