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.

    After using this range extender for a significant amount of time, the signal was reliable and overall, it did an very good job extending the reach of the original wireless router.

    Extender does the job and was easy to setup... This is the first I have ever used so I can't really compare it to the others.

    Works great for the price. Wireless setup directions are somewhat oversimplified and factory support was dismal. Was passed off to a help desk in Mumbai who tried his best to sell me additional hardware/software. Abandoned wireless setup and used direct ethernet cable connection to complete setup. Recommend you use the same approach to setup unit if purchased.

    This wifi range extender accomplished what I set out to do by boosting my wifi signal to cover most of my house as well as the patio. The only detail that I was disappointed in was that its signal is produced as an additional device from my wireless router with the _EXT extension. My PC and iPhones must be connected to either the extended signal or the original signal. I was hoping that it would just boost the original signal seamlessly.

    I stumbled across this unit when looking for a way to strengthen my Wi-Fi connection on the far side of my home and and this one was easy to install at a good price. My Wi-Fi signal more than doubled

    It helps, but it’s a little finicky to setup.

    Increased my range by about 20 feet over my router coverage, though it was a little finicky in setting up. At first I thought it was a breeze, but on the 2nd day it lost the connection and I had to run the setup again by unplugging the unit, resetting the unit and then using the WPS button again to set up, since then it has not lost the connection even once.

    Bought this to help with my connection in the basement. We have two Rokus down there that were not running very well and now they work great. Quick and easy to use.

    Does exactly what we needed it to and the price was good. We were having trouble just outside our house on the back patio so we thought we would give this a try! Did the trick!

    Easy set up, and it hasn't given us any problems thus far (1 month in). 2 people in the house, we stream Hulu and such, nothing major. Haven't noticed any hangups or slow downs.

    Ok booster

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have a house with my wireless router in the basement. We placed this booster in the hallway heading towards the bedrooms. That's where our wifi was the weakest. It helped bring the speed from 3-4 up to around 22 Mbps. Now that's not bad but I'm guessing if you spent $ on a more expensive booster it might pull a full strength signal. We get 50 Mbps in the basement. Overall it is worth the $

    This is a powerhouse. I spent a lot of money for a hard wired booster and this little thing works better and for far less money. I would HIGHLY recommend!
