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.

    Followed the directions with the product, but it did not connect to my Wi-Fi, even though it was in the same room. Could not get past step 1.

    If you’re expecting the same strong internet connection if you’re close to your router. This is not the product.

    Very easy setup. Improved my signal but it needed to go through 2 concrete walls and was not strong enough for that. I returned it.

    The extender is just ok, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. To be fair, I'm not sure if the router is the problem though.

    Better than it was before I put the extended in, but not what I was expecting after what I was told it would do to improve the signal strength.
