Customers are saying

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.

    I bought this for my mom, set it up within 10 minutes and she was connected. The only drawback is that only 2 or 3 devices could connect to it a time

    We had no internet connection at the campground we stay at all summer after they changed internet companies. The receiver isn't more than 75 feet from us but,we couldn't get a signal. This wifi extender did the trick! We can now connect without any problems. Highly recommend.

    I was experiencing problems with frequent dropped connectivity. I bought this product with hopes of eliminating that problem. It cost a little more than I was wanting to spend, but the bottom line is that it delivers and I am a satisfied customer. I have not experienced any connectivity problems since the purchase and installation.

    I got this extender to see if it would strengthen my signal to parts of my house where it was weak. It was easy to connect to my network and has led lights to indicate proper function. The low price makes it a good first time unit.

    Quick and easy installation by following the steps. I needed this to connect my DirecTV DVR to the router located in a different part of my home. Once connected to my wireless network I plugged in the network cable and my DVR works perfectly via the wireless network.

    Was concerned it might be difficult to install but turned out to be practically plug and play. Very easy install and really helped to get the wireless net to the opposite side of the house. Saves me from overages as my cell would drop wifi connection in the house before we installed this extender. Has already paid for itself.

    Helps extend the Wi-Fi range in my house. Once setup it makes a 2nd Wi-Fi connection, so be sure to follow directions included. Took less than 10 minutes to get going, now have great range all house.

    We were having trouble getting Wi-Fi coverage in our upstairs bedrooms since our base router is in the basement offices. We plugged in the "NETGEAR - Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender with Ethernet port" on the first floor and it immediately extended our range upstairs. Very easy to do and it has worked just fine for over a month.

    Have an 80+ year old house. Brick, concrete, solid construction. Getting internet signal throughout is challenging. This extender does not seem to help like the others that are similar (without Ethernet port). Could be operator error.

    You WiFi signal was very low in 2 of my bedrooms. Apps would buffer all the time, sometimes not even connect. Purchased this little guy, setup was a breeze, now the signal is excellent in my entire house.

    easy to use is an understatement. I had this up and running in about five minutes it pretty much sets it's self up. my only complaint is that it loses conection to the wifi router from time to time. but I'm sure it's due to the xfinity router comcast set up

    Very low price and works pretty well. Need to to be in almost line of sight to get strong signal. Added about 40 yards out to my porch which is what I needed. Set up was simple.

    Drops signal all the time and slowed down my internet conection. Ended up just unpluging it and uped my data on phone and tab. Decided not to be cheap and just buy more phone data.

    I'm not using it to extend my WiFi. I'm using it to connect an old computer to my WiFi network. Setup was easy, with nice clear instructions included. The device has been working great with very fast speeds, much better than the little USB WiFi antenna I had been using.
