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.

    It's slow and sketchy at best. Intermittent connection to devices when connected to router.

    Wifi was sporadic in one of our back rooms and slow in the other. This was the first choice taking into consideration price and size of our house. It took less than 3 minutes to have the extender working great! Wifi in the back of the house is now as fast as the main part!

    We use to not get WiFi upstairs in our 2400SF home and with this extender we get great WiFi upstairs now. Let’s just say my teens are super happy and so am I because now I can work from my upstairs bedroom if I need to.

    My router is in the basement at the far end of the house from the first floor living room. Before installing this amplifier, wifi in the living room was spotty. Now, no problem. Best Buy staff give my good advice in suggesting this unit.

    Bought this range extender to enable reliable WIFI in my basement. Regular WIFI signal was weak and dropped connection. Much better now.

    Wish it had more power for the old "extension". I tried several places in the house, but none of them would work until I was right next door to the source. Good for the price

    Instructions indicate one of the lights should be on, but it is only on intermittently. Can't find any instruction on this and was going to call the manufacturer.

    My computer, at the far end of the house from the router, had a difficult time staying connected to the network. I spent about 25% of my time trying to reconnect . With the Netgear Range Extender I have a stable, dependable access to the internet. Very satisfying.

    It works well I just wish it gave out a stronger signal. I like the product and it does help give my network a boost.

    Father-in-law needed to get his wifi signal to the basement with the router being on the second floor. Bought this and setup was easy. Push the wps button on the FIOS router and let the two devices talk to each other. Now he has a strong signal in the basement.

    Good range, but I've had to reset it several times. Wi-Fi gadgets will not automatically switch between primary and extender.

    It is a handy little router extender that was simple to set up and has a decent range. The range isn’t amazing but hey, it’s a good price

    This is the 3rd range extender I tried after being told others would not need a PC to setup (and they did). This unit is small, functional, and did not need a PC to setup.

    One that has a higher speed might work a little better, but it's good enough to get a 4 star rating. Note: Use your mobile device when you activate it.
