What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.5 for now.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about EE Smart WiFi Extender 7 Plus SW35A

  • A wall-plug design saves shelf space.
  • Wi-Fi 7 with a rated speed of 1600 Mbps.
  • Automatic firmware updates keep it current.
  • Roaming and band steering keep devices on the right unit and band.
  • WPA3 security and a dedicated app make it easy to manage.
  • Target Wake Time helps battery devices save power.

What customers don't like about EE Smart WiFi Extender 7 Plus SW35A

  • It sits directly in a wall socket, so it can block the outlet beside it.
  • It is for indoor use only and is not waterproof.
  • It has no USB port.
  • There is no 6 GHz band, so it works on two bands only.
  • It works only from 0 to 40 °C.

Verdict

Plugging straight into a wall socket is the main idea behind the EE Smart WiFi Extender 7 Plus SW35A, a Wi-Fi 7 unit for a home with one dead spot. It is rated at 1600 Mbps, so treat that as the top figure rather than a promise. It runs on two bands and handles several devices at once with MU-MIMO and OFDMA. Setup is done through the app, and a signal strength indicator helps you choose a spot. Roaming and band steering keep devices on the right band and unit without manual changes. The trade-off is that it is indoor only, and it has no USB port. It suits someone who wants a simple plug-in fix for a bedroom or home office without running extra cables.
