What's the deal with this? I am looking for a wifi extender and saw this one had a perfect five stars which is really uncommon to see

The "sold by" company name is so loving ridiculous that it doesnt even have enough room to fit on my screen.

Then I went down to the reviews...and, what the gently caress? It's reviews for a completely different item. What the gently caress is that about?

That's never going to work unless you've got one really wide butthole to stick all the antenna up, or four tiny buttholes in the exact right geometry.

Amazon lets it's 3rd party sellers completely change listings. So they do that and keep all the product reviews from something else instead of having their lovely product without reviews. hth.

Amazon and 3rd parties also do review syndication and you sometimes end up with cross-referenced items that show reviews for the wrong item. I bought a modem recently that has Pepsi Max reviews.

I didn't realize I had to be that specific in my questioning, so: why does Amazon allow this

They make money when people sell things.

If people can sell things to idiots faster because of hosed reviews Amazon makes more money faster.

Still contemplating why I didn't register here under a clever pseudonym

I remember reading an article last year about the Consumer Product Safety Commission cracking down on crap from third-party Amazon sellers that was unsafe and straight-up didn’t work, including a completely non-functional carbon monoxide detector made by a company called BQQZHZ.

I wanted to appropriate BQQZHZ for a men’s fashion line, but it turns out they actually registered it as a US trademark. Just gotta wait until they finally abandon it, I guess

This is China slapping together a bunch of random crap leftover from all the electronics they manufacture, and selling it under a fake company as a scam.

Don’t buy things from Amazon OP, and I’m not just saying that as “gently caress Bezos” guy. There is literally no oversight on anything they sell anymore so you might get a WiFi extender or you might get a box full of poop. Just go to a Best Buy or what have you and spend the extra 3 bucks and also get it right now instead of making someone piss in a bottle to get it to you tomorrow.

If you need to buy online just buy it direct from the manufacturer who all have online stores set up.

I got this listing bookmarked so I can order when I need to, which is often. I usually order about five or six times a week, so I really need to have it bookmarked and in my Amazon wishlist daily because of how often I order and have to reorder, most weekdays and one weekend day that I have to reorder, so I can click on my Amazon wishlist where it's saved or my favorites bar in order to reorder when I need to often during the weekday and one day on the weekend from my saved items and bookmarks

This guy doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.
Look man. Look at that range extender, ok?

Turn that fucker upside down and spread those antennas out. Now what's it got?

You're drat right. You think I got into tech to waste my life on pointless poo poo? gently caress no. Telling strangers on the internet how to not lose wi-fi range extenders in their rear end while sexually pleasuring themselves is why I did it and I'd do it again tomorrow if that's where God calls me.
