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.

    Easy to set up. No problems with connectivity. I hate the need for this, however in my new house internet and cell connections are bad.

    This device only works intermittently in my home. It is in the same location as my previous Netgear extender which stopped working after about 3 years. That device worked great until then.

    I had a Wi-Fi blackspot in my house - this is now over with, thankfully, because I purchased a good router and modem, from BestBuy. Both of them work wonderfully; this product, however, as well as most all Wi-Fi range extenders in my opinion, are going to be innately flawed. This is because what range extenders do, is extend your range, naturally; however, they cut your -signal-, thus your overall connectivity and strength, in half. This is obviously problematic as your once strong signal downstairs is pretty shoddy, but your non-existent signal upstairs is now pretty shoddy as well. Not recommended unless you feel like making a cut in your Wi-Fi strength; honestly, it would just be a better option to invest in a better modem and router. This particular model I couldn't even get to work in my house, although that's more a matter of testing out all the different extenders, as the compatibility is heavily reliant upon how it shags up with your router and modem. In any event, I wound up returning this and bought a more worthwhile purchase that not only eliminated my Wi-Fi darkspot, but improved and created a much stronger signal throughout my household: a modem and router.

    This product basically performs as advertised and as I expected it to. No superlatives. It just does what it is supposed to do and I am satisfied with it.

    As a wireless to wired port, this device works great! As far as being an extender, I have not noticed any change. My wireless devices still seem slow even standing next to the extender.

    This range extender worked okay, but decided on the Belkin which worked just as good, if not better, for less money.

    We had a dead spot upstairs so I did some research and found this unit to fit the bill. So far its working as expected. Initially it set itself up as a separate network which was not what i wanted. If you were upstairs you'd still have a weak signal from the main router so it would not switch to the new network. Reading up on it it was recommended to change the network name on the device to be the same as the router so that your device would seamlessly switch. That seems to be working fine once i made the change.

    Works amazing in our home. We used to get 1 bar of service on the 3rd floor and now we get 5bars throughout the whole house. Was worth every penny spent.
