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 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.

    We were getting horrible signal on our first floor since our router was installed on the second floor in the laundry room. After quick installation of the extender on the first floor, service is great! It was so easy and now saves us a lot of headache.

    Takes a few minutes to set up and works great. I like the Ethernet port option. plugged the PS4 in it and increased the download speed a ton.

    My home is fairly large and I needed to pull the signal throughout the rest of the home. I purchased one of lesser powered options and had to return it to get this option. It works very well and even pushes my AT&T giga power throughout. Simple set up.

    Pretty good to get that extra range needed. We have a smaller home and this helped do the trick to get better wifi signal from all our rooms

    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...

    Was having trouble getting a good signal to one of the rooms in my house and it was less expensive to buy this product then to replace the router. Solved the problem, works well and as advertised, easy to configure

    If you have a large home or you have to go through alot of walls highly recommended. The only problem i had was connecting to direct TV, but it was great for 5g and 2.4 service throughout the home. Over 3k ft if that helped.

    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!
