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.

    We needed to boost our wifi signal in the back part of our home. Between kids doing homework, and gaming, the whining about poor signal was too much. This did the trick. Setup was fast and easy.

    Boyfriend and I bought this to bring a stronger signal to our room on the other side of the house. Not much of a difference. It was just enough to stop the lag in our gaming but, there was still hiccups here and there. Eventually we had to just buy a better router.

    I installed this as directed, but it doesn't seem to be doing much. I don't have a big house, just 2600 sq. ft., but I tried this because I was getting very weak signal from my ATT wireless router. After reconnecting, I am at exactly the same signal strength and speed I was beforehand.

    It works like a charm on a regular network. The only downside is it doesn’t support 5g

    I needed to expand my WiFi range in my home and this worked perfectly. My son's room that is located the furthest from our router, picks up WiFi without loosing a lot of download speed.

    It seemed relatively easy to setup. However, there was some issues to be dealt with that takes a little more work when first hooking up devices. I only have it about 20 feet away from the main router, but it barely keeps the signal, flashing from green to amber and back to green. I was expecting a little more from a Netgear product.

    Very simple to use. Needed better Wi-Fi connection on porch - furthest location from my router. This device provides a strong signal, even with multiple devices connected and multiple wi-fi apps active.

    I bought this extender so that my wifi could reach from the sunroom, where all of the computer stuff is kept, all the way to the back of the house. Through multiple walls and rooms. It works great.

    Serves our purpose of extending range well. You can use any outlet . It does not need much space. Looks fairly good.
