Our verdict

A simple fix for one weak room, plugged into a wall outlet and paired with WPS in seconds. Its Ethernet port tops out at fast Ethernet, so a wired device on it will not see gigabit speeds.

Overview

A dual band radio inside this BrosTrend wall plug picks up your existing router's signal and rebroadcasts it to a room the router cannot reach. Press WPS to pair, or use the web interface, and its Ethernet port can wire in a TV or console nearby.

Pairing by button and a plug in body make it a quick answer for a single dead zone. Its wired port is limited to fast Ethernet speed, and it creates a separate extended network instead of a mesh.

Who it's for

Renters and homeowners with a single room or yard where Wi-Fi drops out. Homes with weak signal across many floors will do better with a mesh kit.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Plugs straight into an outlet
  • WPS pairing in seconds
  • Dual band extended network
  • Ethernet port for a wired device
Cons
  • Ethernet port limited to 10/100Mbps
  • Not a mesh system
  • Warranty requires registration

Performance notes

Real speed depends on placement, since the extender can only pass on the signal strength it receives from the router. Setting it about halfway between the router and the dead zone usually gives a good balance of input signal and reach.
