I'm not sure. This NETGEAR EXTENDER will take an existing WiFi signal and make it go farther than without it. For example, I used this to get my Spectrum Modem/Router, which is up on the third floor, extend the WiFi signal to the first floor and outside so I could get my Ring Doorbell to work. Without it the Spectrum Router only had a weak WiFi signal on the bottom floor (and practically none outside) so the doorbell didn't work. I plugged the NETGEAR into the second floor living room outlet and it works great. The signal reaches inside and outside and with full strength and I was able to do the setup etc., with Ring. The NETGEAR WiFi Extender connects to your existing WiFi and then it will issue its own signal and assigning it the same name with *_EXT (after the name so you know it's the Extender that you're connected to). When you first set it up you do that in the same room where the modem/router is and then you move the NETGEAR to the area that's in-between the strong and weak WiFi signal. If your U-Verse Receiver is also the modem/router for that's sending out your WiFi signal then it should work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
