BG Electrical nbs22uwrg Fast Charging 2.1 A USB Charger and Wi-Fi Range Extender Electrical Socket, Brushed Steel

I bought this socket as my wifi would drop out on my back garden. At first I was chuffed that I can now get signal out there, but the bandwidth is awful. Since working from home with this lockdown I've noticed I occasionally get choppy WiFi and a really bad signal, and I've noticed that whenever my laptop connects to this socket, my bandwidth suffers massively. Switching this socket to holiday mode resolved my bandwidth as my laptop is forced to connect directly to the router. My recommendation for extended range is to buy proper mesh routers. I won't buy another one of these sockets.

Good build quality and very easy to setup. The real issue is whilst this does improve the connectivity to areas where the WiFi signal is low it doesn't solve low bandwidth issues in those areas. It needs to be strategically place to where the device itself has good connectivity and thus in turn repeat to the area that doesn't. Easier said than done.

I have tried many WiFi repeaters to solve dead spots in my house and none have met expectations.I just installed this repeater socket from BG Electrical and I have full reception upstairs, even in the extension which has a very thick external wall to get through.The install was easy, just like any power socket setup. Configuring it to repeat my router WiFi signal had three options, i chose to connect to the sockets own WiFi connection and follow the simple config. Now my signal is repeated perfectly.I never leave reviews but i am so pleased i just had to. But it now.

This was a great purchase for our conservatory which had a poor WiFi signal from the router in the lounge.Had one of these sockets fitted, linked it to the existing WiFi using a tablet and it now plays our WiFi speaker with none of the connection problems we had in the past.

I’ve been having trouble with WiFi I’ve tried different Exstenders but this socket beats all hands down wish I had got one years ago thankyou one happy customer would definitely recommend

Tricky to set up Wi-Fi

The price was charged too high and not value for the money. I will not buy again. I would like to hear from you.

Excellent quality and value
