NETGEAR - Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender with Ethernet port - White

Works great. Electric plug in near the wireless router and pushed the buttons in the instructions on the router and device and it installed itself. It automatically picked up my long phrase password on the router. Then I unplugged it and moved it where I had the weak signal and it worked. Easy. Now, you DO need to go to your all computers, iPads, and/or smart-phones you own and SEARCH for the new wireless router network which this is. It will mirror your existing one with the letters "-EXT" at the end. I have a Droid, iPad, Iphone, a laptop and Macbook, and they all had to be manually configured to find and setup the new wireless network but is the same as you would any place wireless is offered, find it and connect with your router's password (dig it up since you last set it up). Lastly, When you move from one side of the house to the other, you need to switch the wireless router on them to get the stronger of the two signals.

The automatic setup is very easy - just press the WPS buttons as instructed and it will mirror your existing Wi-Fi network, and you enter your passphrase when prompted. The automatic setup will add "_EXT" to end of your SSID name. This will work for most users, but not me! After this device is configured, go back and modify device settings through your browser. It will allow you to remove "_EXT" from the SSID name and it will save. Now you can walk around your house with your apple or android devices and it will automatically switch between this extender and your router. Now it works better than before....

Amazing. We have a couple of small houses over large acreage; our router is in the 'main' house and we were looking for a way to extend the router's coverage to the outlaying structures. Plug it in, set it up, and WOW - full bar coverage from the farthest room in the farthest structure. OK, the instructions could have been a bit clearer (when you initially try to connect and it asks you for a password, it's the WPS PIN on the unit, nothing about that in the instructions at all), but once I got past that hurdle, it was a piece of cake, and we are good as gold with our connectivity!

I recently had my modem relocated from the ground floor to the basement. This resulted in wi-fi being available in just half the house, nothing in the LR, K, DR. This wi-fi extender, a very reasonable solution, was recommended by the sales person. If it didn't work he suggested the next step would be to consider buying a better modem than what the cable co provides. I installed the wi-fi extender in a central location where there was a good strong signal, simply right into a power strip (no other option at this time), and it works like a charm! Now I have "Wi-Fi All Over" the house again.

Read reviews and this one seem to get great ones. I highly recommend it. I've had it for a couple of weeks now. I had a spot in 2nd floor bedroom that was constantly dropping my wifi signal. This wifi range extender boost the signal greatly. Where I got maybe 2 bars on my iPhone, I now have all bars lit. It says to plug this in an outlet approximately halfway between your wifi source & where you are using your device. I have it 3/4 the way, in my second floor hallway. It picks up my cable wifi from the 1st floor kitchen pretty far away. Easy to set up too. Took about 5 mins. It uses the same name you picked out for your wifi network and just adds a "ext" for extended, to the name you already have. A cheap enough fix that works awesome!!

At first I wasn't sure about this router. Every few minutes it would lose connection with my main modem/router and I would have to go in the settings and reset. I went to their website and found an updated firmware version that said it fixed the issue I was having. Loaded the firmware and it's been great ever since.

Device was set up in a total of 5 minutes - two minutes to unpack and read the simple instructions, 2 minutes to plug in and connect to the router (a NetGear) and 1 minute to establish a connection to my computer. I found no loss of speed through the extender compared to directly connecting to my router with comparable signal strength.. The signal was boosted significantly since my office computer was right on the fringe of the router signal. Another reliable product from NetGear.

Gives more distance with very little loss of speed.
