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.

    Using my extender while writing this review on-line. The product effectively extended my wireless to the other side of my 2400 sq ft house. The set-up was not as simple as expected and the LED's were slow to be engaged at times but those items were overcome. Over-all, a decent enough product.

    We were about to have a tech company drill holes to drop another Ethernet line to another office down the hall. The computer was using wifi to connect to the net and it was a very weak signal since it was pretty far away from the modem. I figured I would try this $40 fix first AND IT WORKED! It was a little tricky to set up, it took me a few tries but when I finally got it going it worked perfectly.

    I was able to boost internet from my parents house across the street. Their router was in the corner of the house closest to mine. Worked well until pops decided to move the router to the corner farthest away.

    Enhanced signal in home and on the boat dock allowing the use of the iPad for live games and Netflix, etc. Even though the dock is 60 yards from house, placing the extender in the house and a booster on the dock has worked well.

    Existing WiFi in my house didn't reach all of it. This was an easy plug in and push a button. Push same button on our existing Netgear unit and we were up a running. Adds WiFi to other part of the house. Once you set up your devices for both WiFi names the hand off is seamless. Recommended. Will work with other brands, but the one button set up doesn't work, need to log on to set up this device. Still didn't look too hard. Would have liked more range on this extension.

    Extends the network, but lost speeds

    I tried using this device two ways...the first way I attempted to use it was as an extender. I plugged it into the wall and set it up to extend from my WiFi network and it did extend the network, but significantly lost speeds. It was about a third slower than my router alone was able to deliver we in the same location. The second way I used it was wired to my network but it was slow as well. The bottom line is this...if you are looking to extend your network this will do the job for low internet speeds, but don't count on using this for high speed needs like video or video games.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
