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.

    also got a new modem/router from ATT and they recommended I combine it with netgear range extender. Seems to work better then before.

    I was pleased that this worked immediately with my Netgear Router at first attempt. However, we cannot get it to work with a very good router supplied by the cable company. This is definitely not a plug and play unit. Unfortunately, I did not try it with the cable router until the return policy had expired. I will have one of my "techie" friends attempt the reinstallation. i can only recommend this if you have a Netgear router.

    This is a booster and it should do better to send the signal farther but it’s decent. It does go offline often though.

    Bought this because I needed an extender for the garage for internet service. My router is in the basement and I couldn't get a strong signal in the garage. The Netgear Wi-Fi Range Extender solved the problem immediately. Just plug it in and it's ready to go. Excellent speed. Really made a difference. Happy I can stream music now in the garage. Very satisfied and would highly recommend.

    I needed to extend the range of my network at home to reach the other side of my house and wanted an inexpensive solution. Bought this on sale & mostly with rewards certificates. It gets the job done but does not come close to providing the advertised link speed. I'll eventually replace this with something more high-end down the line.

    It took minutes to install and within seconds our computer was receiving a wireless connection from our WI-FI from two rooms away. It saved me from buying a stronger modem and router. Bought it on sale from Best Buy where we got plenty of help from their sales rep.

    We live in a 3 story house but the modem has to be in the basement, so we needed a range extender to boost the signal upstairs. The NETGEAR - Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender fit the bill perfectly. The instructions were clear and easy to follow so we had no trouble setting it up.

    Needed this for my computer that sits up front. Ran slow due to we have the internet boxes in the bed room. Plugged this in the hallway Now I have no problem with the connection for my computer game system and fire stick in the living room.

    My router doesn't provide good signal in my two floor apartment so this device goes well with providing great signal to my game consoles, laptop, and printer which are in a room on the second floor. My only complaint is that it's a hair slow but if slow Internet is not an issue then you will like this product.
