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.

    The device works great . I was not getting any internet service on one side of my house. Now I have no problem receiving the signal.

    Pretty much a plug and play extender. Just had to set up passwords through the computer. Extended range just like is says it would.

    Seems it would work in a fairly large house...

    To be honest, we live in a 2-bedroom condo so our normal router works just fine, so as to indoor needs I couldn't test it. However, when we tried to see if we could get a signal out in our detached garage it faintly did! We had to return it for one stronger (and more expensive) since we need a strong signal to reach that far out for when we are out there, obviously- but I think being a weak signal that far out would work well in a large INDOOR setting.

    Easy to setup. Works as described. My cable modem is in the basement and I use this unit at the first floor to get signal all the way to the second floor. It works well with Netflix etc.

    The wifi extender has worked like a charm. I had a bit of trouble setting it up, but that was probably a head space issue. It works like a charm. All bedrooms now have full signals. My wife and kids love me again. Would definitely recommend!

    Happy with the purchase - our WiFi modem wasn't strong enough to send a signal to our newly finished bar area. With the extender, the TV has no problems picking up the signal.

    Followed instructions exactly and could not get it to connect to my home router. Finally put it in the same room with the router( instructions say NOT to do this) and Pow! It worked. Unplugged and moved to barn and it works as long as you leave it powered on. If it is powered off for any length of time it loses connection with the router and it has to taken back in the room with router and repeat setup, wow, that is annoying!!

    Least tech savvy individual I know and I was able get this running in 5 minutes. Got two thinking I'd need the extra boost throughout the house/yard, but have only used one thus far. Amazing little box!

    My router was on the first floor, and my computer is on the third floor. My internet connection was horrible and slow before this product. There was an obvious increase in connection after installing the product. One issue I do have is when I first log on to my computer, it takes a while to find a connection. I am not sure if that is an issue with the product, my computer, or my internet. The product was also a little pricey, but it was definitely something I needed as my internet was practically unusable before it.

    Note: my ratings are based on one criterion. Did the product do exactly what I needed based on my needs and research. I don't get caught up in minutiae. My family of three has a lot of devices pulling data. We have three phones, three tablets, three laptops, two smart tvs, three Chromecasts, a Roku, Google Home, and a security camera. The router provided by our internet provider was a standard, cheap model and it couldn't keep up. I purchased a new router and paired it with this device and we have no issues. I can watch Sling on one tv while my daughter watches Netflix on another and all of our devices are on our wifi. Again, we are three people. A larger family might need something else. Additionally, there is no gaming or the like in my house.

    We purchased this after purchasing the Nighthawk and needed something to help the WiFi with the gaming for our kids and cameras for the house. This helped our WiFi carry so much more and not lag!

    I am rating good because I am not sure if it is the NETGEAR modem or the Wi-Fi range extender that drops the connection in other parts of the house; it could very well be my ISP but I haven't been able to pin it down. When they work they work very well but one thing I noticed is I had one of them plugged in under a motion sensor light and it kept the light on always, very strange.

    This extender works from my neighbors 2 houses down! They gave me their wifi password and now it works in my house! I researched a little bit and this one works just fine. I could have got the better one (750 or 1200) but this was has been working. Sometimes it goes in and out but for the most part, it works!
