Very effective booster for wi-fi signal
I needed to boost the wi-fi signal, from BTHub3 in the hallway, for my laptop in the extension at the side of the house. I'd previously been using an ethernet connection via the mains, using BT boxes, but this became increasingly unreliable and in the end was unusable. Hence I was a bit skeptical of the wi-fi Extender claims. However, I have to say I've been pleasantly surprised and impressed. The set-up is pretty straightforward, once you've got the hang of it, and the improvement in signal strength is dramatic (I've gone from 1-bar to 4/5 bars on the laptop icon). I sited the Extender at approx the halfway point between hub and laptop (the only convenient point really) and it shows an AMBER light in operation (= too close to hub), but this seems fine. You need to enter the Hub ID for the Extender and it then appears as EXT-BTHub3- on the device. I was also pleased to see that our Solar Panel Inverter was still seen and monitored by the laptop App. All in all, this seems a very useful device if your wi-fi signal needs a bit of a boost. Simple, effective and low-cost - what more could you ask?Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Broadband poor quality
BT advertise super fast fibre broadband however that only runs from exchange to green box. Cable to property not fibre. Bought this booster to help. It’s well made item, alas my broadband still drops out and slow on downloading!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good but not for my purpose
Bought this for my summerhouse. Picked up signal bit not strong enough for my new television so had to send back. Was easy to install and probably to boost signal in a house would work OK. Think I was asking too much for the garden house. Bought different brand bit more expensive but boosts my signal well. Can now watch on demandVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Simple setup wi-fi extender.
Really easy to set up. If your router has WPS its usually a 'one button' press on the router and another one button press on the extender and the link is made. A bit more difficult to set up without WPS but still relatively easy. Clear and simple instruction included with the repeater to do this. There is a simple indicator on the repeater to tell you what state its in. I have has good success in connecting wi-fi CCTV cameras though these repeaters.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

BT Wi-Fi Extender 300
I wanted to extend the range of my WiFi into the garden and specifically my Summer house. The router was just out of range. By placing this extender in the kitchen, the reception outside was excellent. It took just two minutes to install. I simply plugged it into a socket outlet, pressing the WPS button on the router, then the WPS button on the extender which then scanned the signal from the router and was up and running in two minutes. Job done.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great Wi-Fi Range Extender
Great piece of kit now working fine. Unfortunately, mine didn't link automatically with the WPS Button, so had to use Method 2 wireless. If you get stuck follow the instructions on the leaflet and when you get to step 3 enter the Admin Password and click Start but then you might also need press "Enter" on your keyboard too to progress with the set up. That bit missing from the instructions is the only reason for 4 Stars rather than 5 Stars.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished

BT Home Wi-Fi Extender Booster Universal Wifi Range 300 Booster
BT Home Wi-Fi Extender Booster Universal Wifi Range 300 Booster it works but not as well as I hoped only gave me an extra one bar so I have 3 bars its better than 2 bars and I have the booster less than two feet from the item I need a wifi signal for not good oh well I'm going to go back to having wires all over the place or by a better router.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Bit confusing but brilliant when set up
This piece of kit is really good when up and running. Here’s a tip that I used, just open the box, plug it into the wall socket, put the aux cable straight into your router and other end into the device and wait a while. After about 2 hours remove the aux from the devices unplug the device from the wall, simply walk into the furthest wall socket away from the router (like another room) just plug it in and away you go!! Then to test it’s working get a mobile preferably an iPhone’ click on WiFi settings switch off the WiFi on your iPhone then back on, look for the name of the device then choose the new device, it will ask for a password!! Now that’s the password to your router so enter the password to your router then it should tick ✅ and say connected. Presto all up and running. My opinion it’s good if you have a big home because if you leave the router room you’ll automatically be connected to the WiFi repeater and not have a poor signal👍🏼 so all in all it’s a win win 😁 I hope this helps just follow the steps that I took because it worked for me and still is to this day!! For £10 my house is nice and quiet 😁 highly recommended 10/10 from me.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
