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.

    My router is far from the living room (in my room to be precise) and the signal is weak to inexistent. So we bought this extender and it work perfectly. Even though our walls are from brick which is more difficult for the signal to pass thru. I would definitively recommend it.

    The set up was confusing at first but then I was able to connect it via Internet. It works great and now I'm able to get full signal on the 2nd floor of my house unlike before.

    I have tried other devices and not having hard wired Ethernet in the house make connecting in a large house difficult. This works great to boost my signal when I am out side.

    Was recommended by a family member. The signal to one of the bedrooms was poor receiving it from the router which was in the master bedroom. Bought this range extender and now that bedroom has great signal.

    This Wi-Fi extender definitely helped my connection. Had several dead zones in my house and connecting was spotty or always dropping off. I am now able to connect throughout the house without any issues. It also was one of the most reasonably priced extenders at Best Buy.

    Bought this to solve weak wifi signals in the rooms farthest from my router. I was surprised when it's newly created signal (.ext) was full strength where the unboosted signal was so weak the internet either didn't work or was so slow it was useless. For once this is something that works as advertised.

    Purchased this extender so our SUV could perform its necessary software downloads. Connected to our compatible wifi router. Also works great when needed to handle deadzones around our home. Our distance is about 45 feet; excellent signal strength.

    Placed it closer to computer than recommended but it still relayed the signal through one floor and over forty feet away. Used to get only two or three bars wireless receptions, but get a full five with the Netgear extender. Boosted transfer rates from a sluggish 10-15 Mbps to 72 Mbps and greater.

    The Netgear Wi-Fi extender helped me out a lot. I wasn't able to connect my device because my router was too far away. I bought this and it works great.

    I needed a Wi-Fi range extender but was unfamiliar with what products were available. This NETGEAR model was reasonably priced, so I tried it. It now brings fantastic signal to the second floor of the house. I'm very happy with my purchase!

    I need something to extend my Wi-Fi for my DirecTV genies. The sales associate tried to persuade me to replace my router and spend over $100 on a new one. I said, "I read online reviews that said this would work and if not I'll return it." great buy for under $30!!!

    I needed an extender for my newly acquired wi-fi sprinkler controller. As I did not require 5ghz this unit was perfect. Easy to set up and works well.
