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 range extender to use with my smart TV. It works fine; however, sometimes when my laptop connects to the range extender's SSID, I gets an IP address conflict, and I have to disconnect and connect to the primary router's SSID. I don't know if this is a problem with my router or with the range extender.

    easy to setup (just read the manual and follow it step by step). range, not that impressive, BUT still better than nothing. for its price (on blackfriday), i guess i can't really complain.

    Does exactly what I needed it to! Connection has been awesome ever since we got this extender. We needed to extend WiFi out to the garage and our normal router couldn’t send a signal that far. Everything has connected with full bars ever since we installed this! Installation was pretty simple.

    Researched different extenders and found this one to be on sale. I unpacked and set up was super easy. I then used my cell phone to test the best placement of product. I can now get WiFi signal throughout entire house and into pool area. Great product!

    My router is on the third floor and my living room on the second. Wifi for laptops, tablets, and Netflicks was constantly a problem. This Netgear extender has eliminated the wifi range problem at a reasonable price. The installation was easy. Now if I could just get Mediacom to fix the dropped internet problem....

    I went to Best Buy looking for a wifi range extender. I recently became one of the work-at-home. I needed to beef up my home network to make it more reliable. This was actually my second choice. I had researched another range extender online only to find it out of stock when I got to my local store. I try not to make 'knee-jerk' purchases when it comes to technology, so I spent an hour or so browsing and comparing other products in store. I'm familiar with NetGear, and the price was right. Once I got it home, it was quick and easy to set up and has been reliable and stable and has done everything I needed it to do. I would buy it again if I found myself in need of another wifi range extender.

    This works really well. I was getting a weak signal at the back of my house, with the range extender signal is now strong.

    A product that does what it says it will do without hassle. Followed to set-up instructions and it worked as it should. Simple. Tried it in a couple of locations and it provides a greatly extended range. I needed to reach a couple of upstairs bedrooms. I tried a Cisco/Linksys product 1st, for similar $$, that turned out to be a total dog.
