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.

    Very easy to use with my Verizon Wireless network, my router is in the basement connected to the computer and the extender is on the main floor up, the Wi-Fi works great for the phone and tablet in the bedroom.

    Great Wi-Fi extender for multiple level homes! The megabytes per second difference compared to being close to the main router is very minimal definitely would recommend if you're looking for a less expensive extender

    The WPS setup for this unit was very easy. The unit works well, however it seems to be quite sensitive to it's location and orientation. The unit I have works better when plugged in upside down. I bought a Netgear product because this is the manufacturer of the WiFi router I am using.

    I was told that the item wasn't that good. But when I purchased it and got it hooked up, I haven't had any problems. The connection is perfect.

    For the purchase price, this is a good buy for mid square foot ranged homes. I had issues with getting wifi in the upstairs bedroom, so this extender did the trick and prevents future data overages on the cell phone.

    I am truly satisfied with the extender. I bought it so that the Wi fi would work with no problems on the first floor of my home. My modem is located on the 3rd floor.

    This WiFi repeater is really great for the money. I was not sure if it would perform with its low price but it has done great. It runs Netflix just fine without buffering for my WiFi. Before I got the repeater I could not even get Netflix to load. Great little repeater.

    We've had dead zones in our house for years. Do we move the router? Live with it? (I find it interesting that we can drive on the interstate & pick up multiple wifi, but I can't get a router that will give service across the house.) This extender has worked well for us. Solving our problem. I'd be happier with some distance guidelines would be included.

    Once again, unimpressed with range extenders. Installed and connected this unit to my main NetGear 54 router (which was 75 feet away in another bedroom). Although signal strength was great, throughput was terrible managing maybe 5MB/Sec. Terrible by today's standards. And there is nothing special about my house - all standard drywall (no bricks, metal, etc.) I have since replaced my set up with a Google WiFi Mesh and coverage and performance are fantastic. My experience with Range extenders (Linksys and/or NetGear) over the years has never been good. I'll never go back.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    The Netgear Universal WIFI Extender was easy to connect to my existing WIFI network. I used it to extend the WIFI to my garage so that I can control my garage doors. It works seamlessly. Would recommend to others.
