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 live in a 3 story town home, and the wireless never fully reached the 3rd floor. This extender boosted the signal so I get full bars no matter where I am in the house. It allows enough data through to stream shows via Netflix without a single buffering.

    I would recommend this product for anyone who has difficulty getting wifi in locations such as the basement or outside perimeter of their homes. It is easy to set up and you can surely get technical help from Geek squad if necessary.

    Have 150Mbps @5G down on my main router and it is useless as this device isn't 5G compatible. Even at 2.4G, I have 75Mbps down from main router and around 15M at best with this extender - even when in same room and next to it. Easy setup and would be a good value if it worked, but come on with poor bandwidth through this thing. Not good...

    I have a media room mancave that hasn't gotten a wireless signal ever. I bought this so i could bring my cell phone into my workspace. Not only did it help my wireless router extend it boosted my cell phone coverage too.

    I used this because my wifi doesn't quite reach to my bedroom. It fixed the streaming issue but when I stream a game it still times out or is slow. That's the only reason it didn't get 5 stars.

    Bought it. Read the directions and followed them. A couple of minutes later it worked like it's supposed to. Forgot about it until Best Buy asked me to review it. Think about that: I forgot about it because it's doing what it should without any problems.

    A good value for the performance. Personally, I would have been happier with a more expensive range extender that gives better coverage. These units are inexpensive and easy to set up. My house has two levels and 2200 square feet. I had to buy two units to get adequate coverage. The problem with this is that when moving from one end of the house to the other, I have to change the settings to pick up the closest unit. Not handy for mobile devices.

    I have Spectrym internet service that uses a router placed in my livingroom. The wifi signal is very weak in the bedrooms in my apartment. I was hoping that this range extender would solve the problem. The range extender gives me a little bit better connection to the wifi but not very strong. Its still very slow and was not a solution for me. I use an iPad to connect to wifi so the issue is not with my device.

    This is a cool little extender. Was easy to set up. My Wi-Fi signal would drop out in the garage and I installed a security camera outdoors on the other side of the wall. I now a have a strong signal both in the garage and in the adjacent courtyard.

    I was having trouble with my wi-fi router reaching out to my back porch. Not only does this extender reach my back porch, but out into the backyard as well. Great product & set-up was really easy!

    Cheap and easy to install. The extender has actually a bigger range than most home routers. As it creates a second SSID with a different name, it sometimes stays on the extender-s SSID instear of switching back to your main router, but with a weaker signal....but really works well.
