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.

    Im not to sure why i bought this, we use the netgear extenders at work and the UI has always been unfreidnly and that has yet to change. The device works as a new signal is being broadcast out but the upload/download speeds are much worse then on my wireless modem.

    Netgear wi-fi range extender would not work based on the directions. Called Netgear -they tried to remotely fix it and could not do so. Netgear recommended that i return the product. Will do so. It was a frustrating experience.

    I bought this thinking it would be a simple install and an effective solution to the wifi dead zone at one end of my house. The directions are terrible. I finally called the help number and got some guy in India who I could not understand, and he seemed to have trouble understanding me as well. We got nowhere. I finally hung up and worked some more on my own. I finally got my computer to recognize the extender, but the only web-page I could access was the one for netgear, where I put in the user name and password they give in the instructions. I was unable to navigate away from that page, however. When I tried, the computer would search for a few minutes and then say it was unable to connect. I took it back and bought an Amped Wireless Repeater. That works great!
