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.

    Not compatible with Google mesh system refuses to hook up. I bought this because my sleep number will only hook to a 2.5 internet hookup. Guys at best buy said this would fix the problem since Google switches bands, unfortunately it didn't hook up to Google at all.
