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? Read full review

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!!

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 demand

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.

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.
