Customers frequently mention the ease of use and helpfulness of the Extend Wi-Fi Smart Plug, with many praising the user-friendly app and convenient remote control features. However, some users experienced issues with the Wi-Fi range, reporting connection problems when the plugs were placed further away from the router. The 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi requirement was also noted as a limitation for some customers. Overall, the product's ease of use is a significant positive, but potential connectivity challenges should be considered.

Very helpful to use for those always running their coffee machines in the morning. Has saved me countless times when running late in the morning. The app is super clear and easy to use while the outlets are also numbered.

One of the Only Remotes You'll Need

It does what it's supposed to, but please have good, broad ranged internet or else the Geeni will contine to connect and disconnect. Having bad internet defeats the purpose of a wireless device. It's so convenient when it works with your internet though because some things you just don't want to have to consistently and manually turn on and off, like an air conditioner, or a fan, or a heater. And...it's great to not habe to hoard all the remotes nearby when you can just use your phone as the remote ;)

Can’t toggle outlets individually without app

Works well but it lacks the ability to toggle the outlets individually without having to go through the app. And the blue LEDs put off a lot of light when they’re all on. But for the price it was a good value.

This thing is compatible with Alexa and google home. You can switch each individual outlet on/off and name each outlet using the geeni phone app. So u can ask Alexa to turn on just one specific outlet. Extremely convenient and it was super easy to connect with wifi.

Not for putting throughout the house

Unless you are planning on putting these in the same room with, or within one rooms' distance from your wifi, they frequently lose connection which makes the scheduling and mobile use of these obsolete. I put them 2 rooms away and lost connection on them frequently and on one, permanently, until I moved my wifi closer. Kind of ridiculous that you can't really use them throughout your house or that you need to purchase and install wifi boosters/extenders to do so. Unless you don't care about using them for their full potential, if you don't, then they are just an expensive surge protector. Also, they ONLY work on 2.4 wifi, if you don't have that, they will NOT work, no options. I would not buy them again.

I have this multiple times. I use two of them and also have sent one as a gift. Helps by turning on a lamp from wherever you are.

Caught on Fire

I purchased 4 of these. Only put about 1000 watts through it. 3 of the 4 caught fire and are melted and brown. the other one just turned browned and smells burned and stopped working. I tried to get in contact with Geeni about replacements, but got no satisfaction and would not put any of these products in my house again anyway.

I'm glad you raised this over to us and we're sorry that you had to face such difficulties. All Geeni devices are designed to work for 2.4 GHz for a wider range unlike the 5 GHz that cannot penetrate walls and floors. Since most routers nowadays are dual band, you can ask your Service Provider to separate the two networks (2.4 and 5GHz WIFI connections) so they can provide different WIFI names so you can connect your device using 2.4 GHz WIFI connections. For more details, please contact us at +1 (888) 232-3143 or email us at [email protected]. You may also visit our support website support.mygeeni.com for live chat support. We are available from Mon-Sun 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM EST.

Was Good While It Worked

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I bought this plug back in 2021 so I did get a little over two years out of it. However a few days ago the power went out at my house (fortunately not a common occurrence) and now this plug is a decidedly not smart plug. I can still plug things in using it but none of the connectivity works, the reset button does nothing, none of the trouble shooting online works. Nothing else in my house has stopped working so it wasn't like it was a bad power surge. So while this did work for me for awhile I will be replacing it with another brand that can hopefully survive a power outage
