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.

    Finally! This extender saved me from any more frustration. My neighbor's wifi was always popping up in one side of my house. With this extender, I can now go anywhere on my property and access my own internet!

    Perfect solution to an internet connectivity issue

    So here's the deal: I got on a wireless plan that gives me unlimited hotspot access, so I dropped my ISP to save about $75 per month. Unfortunately, the hotspot only allows one connection. 90% of my internet use is streaming of one sort or another, and the laptop PC I use for that is in the living room. This is Windows 10 PC, so I can fire up the Win 10 internet hotspot and have 8 more Wi-Fi access points. But... my office PC is on the other side of the house and requires an ethernet connection. I added the Netgear extender in the office, made the wireless connection to the Win 10 hotspot, hooked up the ethernet cable and ta-da...connectivity in the office! When I need to add another Wi-Fi device (tablet, another laptop, etc.), in most parts of the house the wireless signal from the Netgear extender is stronger than the signal from the Win 10 hotspot so that's the one I usually choose. I have used Netgear devices before and have found them to be consistently reliable.

    Quick setup & provided wifi to those hard spots in the house (too many walls) without running additional cord or drilling any holes. VERY convenient & still accessible for resets, just as secure as main hub, just at the edge of mains range. Streams fine.

    After purchasing a TP-Link on Amazon that didn't work, we went to Best Buy and just bought the least expensive model they offered. It works just great, providing full WiFi coverage for our small house

    I've had some issues with wifi coverage in my home. My router is downstairs in one end of the home. While me wife does her work in an upstairs bedroom at the other end of the house. The signal strength bounces around between 1 and 2 bars. This can be a pain. After install this extender in a mid-way point upstairs and setting it up (which was an ease), the signal strength is 5 bars constantly. I would suggest this product for anyone with the same issues.

    I was concerned this low cost extender would perform as needed, however I was pleasantly surprised with its coverage. I have a detached garage with a "man cave" with my amateur radio equipment in it. I needed internet connectivity for logging contacts and this extender came up on sale. Works great, never has been a failure to connect yet and I've had this up and running for over a year now. Great price, excellent coverage and operation.

    This unit has been working well to extend wifi coverage in a 1400 sf house where the main router is about 60 ft away from the computer and is separated by three bedrooms and several walls. We placed the unit central to the house I have an old Linksys Router and when we moved to a new house, the location for the cable modem and hence the router is at the far west wall of the living room. But although the house is not large it about 60 ft and 3 bedrooms away from our main desktop PC (opposite corners of the house). After putting the unit into a bedroom that is central to the house we have had good coverage in the far bedroom. Not perfect but much better over the past 2 months. Our main struggle now is getting the main router to maintain its internet connection to begin with. That'll be the next purchase.

    My WiFi is located on the ground floor of my split level home. I purchased this hoping to improve the signal in my son's bedroom on the top floor. Worked like a charm. Very happy

    I was skeptical when buying it, but soon learned that it's worth every penny. They matched Amazon in the store and I got it for like $35. It easily doubled the distance my wifi reached. Smart buy :)

    Used this to boost WiFi on the far side of my home. This is a versatile design being able to plug it into any electric socket. I've had to reboot it a couple of times due to it locking up. But the convenience it delivers to move around the house as needed is nice to have. I can even take it on my business trips and use it to boost my hotel's WiFi.
