Customers are pleased with the Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender's ease of use, Wi-Fi range, and signal strength. Many appreciate its quick setup, compact size, and good performance for the price. However, some experienced connection instability, and compatibility issues were also reported by a few users. The Ethernet port was a welcome feature for some.

Bought this to extend range into basement for older laptop. It works, but you need to link to the extender separately (home router.ext). Although the signal is 5 bars, and all lights are green, the download speed is about half than when the laptop is near the main router. Still works for the basic Internet stuff. 4 stars because of lower speed and extra connection.

My son was having difficulty playing games on his PS4 even though our internet connection is approx 60 Mbps. Checked it out and found the wing of the house where the PS4 is located is a dead zone (photo 1). After checking reviews I selected the N300. I installed it at the end of the hall that leads to the room with the unit. (photo 2) Problem solved. Installation and setup were reasonably easy. In addition, To help you find the best location for your extender Netgear has a free signal strength app you can download for iPhones or Android devices. (Netgear WiFi Analytics).
