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.

    I bought this because my wireless router does not cover my entire house. Mine is an older home. This range extender did not work initially, and had to be set up manually. When it works, it is great, but there are times, for some reason, that it does not recognize my devices.

    I bought this based on a recommendation from the Best Buy tech. I have a large house and needed some extra range for home security. I have the Nighthawk X4S router and this extender didn't provide the speeds I wanted, so I returned it.

    This product is ok. Not the wide range like it said on some of the reviews I read before purchase. I do get wifi in my bedroom because I placed it in my hall way. I find myself having to switch up between this and my regular alot.

    I had to return this device and get a mesh wifi system. I should've listened to the Best Buy associate in the first place and save myself a 2nd trip. This device isn't for me.
