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 connects to WiFi router easily but I am not too impressed with the connection between it and my devices

    Works OK for the money. It tends to lose signal from time-to-time. Otherwise it supplies a lot of signal for a reasonable distance.

    I was having trouble getting streaming reception on my second floor TV. After plugging this in on the same level, reception was much better.

    This is a wi fi but not for what I wanted it for. It has helped in the house but not for outback so much.

    This device works like a charm. Does 2 things 1. Creates internet boost and allows direct wire connection away from wifi box. Set up is a bit quirky but once set up you don't need to worry about it again.

    Works ok, but has glitchy software (had to re-set to factory to log-in after using it for a month), but I couldn’t get signal at the back if my 2 acre property without it. Latency at that distance is good enough for zoom(TCP), but slack calls can’t keep up (RTCP / UDP) and slowly get out if sync. (Stateful vs stateless I think). Summary = Works ok, but not top-of-the-line

    I live in government housing; a 2 apartment put together so you can imagine that my wireless router would not cover my whole house. With the help of this extender, this allowed me the coverage i needed throughout the house and i can move it from place to place.

    Midpoint location required by Netgear extender between existing router and receiving laptop resulted in such a low signal that download speed was unacceptable. Plus the Netgear extender further reduced an already low signal. Use of the extender was abandoned.

    Extends WiFi, but Extremely Slow

    This extended is only good if you plan on doing VERY minimal tasks; emailing, web browsing, etc. NOT good for video calls, streaming YouTube videos, or music. We have an Apple AirPort Extreme and get speed of 350 MB/s. However, it is in a basement and would not reach our third floor or our backyard. While we now have full internet reception on the third floor or backyard, it is at greatly reduced speed. Usually less than 20 MB/s, sometimes almost 0. Literally; there are times we get less than 1. This obviously makes video calling freeze, YouTube constantly freezing, etc. and we end up having to connect to 4G LTE any way. Would return but too late.

    This unit was connected easily and works like a champ! Also great instructions! Love the lights that show how close or how far away you are from the router. We found a sweet spot and now we have excellent connection outside! Great product!

    When I moved into a new apartment my wireless router had to be installed far away from where my computer was which resulted in choppy video streaming. I looked into this product and picked one up, it works great and I have had no video streaming issues since.

    For the price, this is a good product. However, if you spend a few bucks more, you open yourself up to wifi extenders that cover a broader range.
