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.

    Had a strong signal but it was very choppy and laggy when using cell phones or playing video games

    This works mostly as expected. The only strange thing is that the internet stops working when I run the microwave (but that's probably my house, not the device).

    I don’t live a big house but kept losing WiFi signal with the router that is downstairs. Got this and put it upstairs outside of my bedroom and works great for the second floor! Haven’t been frustrated losing signal or WiFi while watching a video or streaming music.

    My computer is in a room two rooms away from the main computer equipment and was constantly being dropped off the internet. This device, plugged into an outlet in the same room as my computer, allows me to have internet connectivity without being dropped. I love it!

    Bought this because my wifi wouldn't reach my smart tv. The set up was simple and easy, plugged it in under my dining room table, halfway between my tv and router and it works perfectly. I haven't had a single problem since. The range even reaches out to my unconnected garage!

    I bought this for my mom. She installed it with very little help from me. She has not had any problems with slow internet connection in that part of the house since installation.

    I live in a 102 yr. Old home that's 2 story made of brick and plaster. My router is on the first floor in side room and I placed the range extender on the 2nd floor landing and it works perfectly so don't hesitate to buy, I promise you won't regret it!

    Aside from the good price on the extender, easy to get my hands on it, easy set-up but that's about it. Once it was connected and properly working. I did not get much more range on my wifi network. Yes, I did test the network range before and after. The extender gave me just a few more feet of range just not as much as promised. I understand it could be the walls in the house, that's not allowing the signal to through. I will try another product to see if that is the was the case.

    The instructions could've been a bit simpler for those with limited techy knowledge. But, once it was figured out, the connection improved and now have full bars and fast connection.

    This is a great extender once it set up. Don't be afraid to call tech support. Once I did it worked like a charm. Maybe the old one I replaced with this one could have worked also.

    We live in an old brick home and our wireless signal was not reaching all areas of our home. The Best Buy salesman recommended this to solve the problem and it really did the trick.

    The set up was a little dicey as it did not work exactly like the directions said, but their Tech Support guy was good and we were up and streaming Netflix in half an hour or so.
