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.

    Was constantly having problems with internet connection in my living room. This has completely solved my problem and makes the fastest and most reliable connections in the home.

    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.

    There are better ways to extend your range

    This didn't actually do what I wanted it to do. You basically plug the thing to the area of your home that has weak or no signal and then, you have to log onto that extender. Basically, this thing mimics your router name with the words "_extension" on it. So if you're walking to and from your home, you have to MANUALLY log onto your router or your extender and vice versa. It does not work like a powerline adapter. What's even worse is that I actually got better download/upload speed running off my router's poor signal in the area of my home that has sketchy reception than I did off of the extender! I actually did the best thing which was just to get a router with better range. These extenders and powerline adapters are quick fixes, but ever since I got a decent router that advertised long range Wifi, I haven't had the need to go down the extender route again.
