Customer Reviews Of HAWKING HBB1 Broadband Booster - Retail

It seems to be either Excellent or Poor or Very Poor but not in between.

This device is a stand-alone QoS (Quality of Service) unit. If your broadband router already supports QoS then I highly doubt that this thing would do anything for you at all. And for the $50 it costs, you could buy yourself a nice wireless router that DOES support QoS and probably get quite a few more useful features that you won't get with this Hawking device...
