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.

Had issues with wifi coverage in the house as I have my modem/router upstairs. We had issues being online or listening to music while outside in the backyard. This was easy to set up as an extention and get much better signal now that i added this extender to the plug closes to the backyard. Works great! would recomment

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.

If you follow the directions, This is an easy extender to set up. We are using it to boost reception in a very dirty, very big warehouse.

Yeah! Now we get a signal downstairs and to the rear of our long house. With our router on the second floor in the front study, we had a terrible time getting a signal in the kitchen and family room on the first floor. No problem now. The instructions were good and it was running in a few minutes.

Our internet service was not strong enough for upstairs with the existing router/modem that we had and after purchasing this extender and installing it, our service has been so much better.

Works well for my office 5200sf. Needs to be updated before using or the signal will drop off. Once updated though works well. If speed is key, upgrade to the AC booster.

I needed to extend my wifi range to the basement. My router is two floors about and coverage in the basement was spotty at best. I plugged this in at the bottom of the basement stairs and now the coverage is great. I haven't really pushed the expanded network to its limits, but streaming video to two different devices has worked well.

Looking to extend my wifi signal and this fits the bill. Noticed a dead spot in the bedroom, set this up pretty much right out of the box, now my whole house has amazing wifi, not just my living room.

We installed this right at the edge of an existing weak wifi signal hoping it would boost the signal enough to stream video from. We could not stream video before at all.
After plugging the extender in, we have had no buffering whatsoever and the signal has extended through our whole house where there was no signal before. Works very well.
