Great WIFI Extender

I got Starlink installed, and the WIFI extender we had was actually slowing the whole system down at that part of the house. I did some research and discovered some older extenders can do that with Starlink. I purchased this product and what a huge difference it has made, especially watching Netflix. It loads immediately and runs at 4K from the get go. There was always a slight lag before, and the clarity would take time to set up.
The mesh system was the easiest to set up of any product I have ever used, I really like how it literally extends the network without creating another address to search for.
I personally recommend this product fo...view more

Seems to function as described

Took some time to actually get it to respond as per instructions. Was about to give up, then tried a system reset and eventually it linked. The "easy link" stung the switch on the mower didn't work at all.

Overcoming a weak WiFi connection

This product has done the job!
My application was to enable my car to connect to my Wireless Broadband to upload and download data via WiFi.
The set up was not easy until I gave up on the phone app instructions, and went to "browser on the desktop" instructions which was all done in 2 minutes.
The car is only able to get to about 36 metres from the modem/router, and the WiFi connection was very weak to non existent. In the revised arrangement the extender is located 6 metres nearer to the car park area, and the signal is now "optimum" according to the car's diagnostics.
Outstanding value for the price!

Should have bought this months ago!

Wifi was patchy in some rooms which annoyed my teenage son greatly! This is no longer a problem - full signal everywhere. Easy to install & set up, the app is great for any troubleshooting too.

Seems to work OK Some issues that reduce the score though.

Bought to cover a low level coverage area of the house. There was ome faffing about getting it set up, but seems towork OK once configured. Just a bit annoying that it insists on having a different SSID (network ID) than my main one, so all the devices in that area need to be reconfigured to use that ID. Also found that the Alexa Show no longer cntrols the Dots as its on the extended SSID and the dots are on the main SSID. Now we have to shut each one down individually, which is pain. Well packeaged device. Pity it cannot be wall mounted and has to sit on a shelf. Why cant manufacturers put a bit more thought into the end-use cases for their...view more

Easy to setup and provides a huge improvement

The setup was straightforward and it is now positioned at the opposite end of the house from the router in what was an adequate 2.4GHz zone and a non existent 5Ghz zone. I now get very strong signals from both bands and I can use them 5Ghz band to get 10x the speed of the original 2.4Ghz. Very happy!
