Review on Eve Extend - Apple HomeKit Smart Home Range Extender for 8 Eve Accessories, Boosts Bluetooth Reach by Jaye Cleveland

I hate when people try to imitate Apple's looks and packaging and unlike Apple products they don't work or have Byzantine customization needs. Now that I figured out that my network should have Multicast or Bonjour enabled and I can only connect to Wi-Fi 2.4, it almost worked. What's really weird is that you first try to connect to your phone's Wi-Fi connection, intercept it for a moment, and then use cellular data to complete the setup, which causes your phone to switch back to your home Wi-Fi. outside and pray for a sufficient 4G signal to set up. This attempt seems to have worked; However, unlike before when he saw many of Eve's accessories that I have, he only shows two. Luckily I want to hook up one of these to extend the range. However, it won't connect at what I think is a reasonable distance from the device - about 35 feet. And yes, yada, yada, yada, fresh batteries, yada, yada, yada, firmware updates, etc. It's also not clear if it's better to place the Extend closer to the Bluetooth device you're connecting to want, or is it closer to the HomeKit source like Apple TV?
