wifi repeater

[couchpotato]

This device has been advertised for a while. Has anyone actually /purchased/used one or know if its as good as it says. I know there are some devices similiar in other countries that supposedly work well.  Thank you for any input.

Be better options than that with 5g also. I got similar in my rear room only get 40% of speed as item close main router.

Works ok especially 5g.

Can you describe the situation as to why you are thinking of buying a repeater please? There maybe alternative options as a better solution. I did use one of these but they can be really slow and unreliable connectivity. Powerline or Lan cable to another access point maybe better. Would like to help you if possible

Can you describe what it is you're trying to do, and what your budget is?

 

There are many options to provide increased WiFi coverage: mesh, router, bridge, repeater, access point.

 

Ideally, a secondary router connected via wired ethernet is best. Often that's not feasible, especially given construction techniques here, so a wireless bridge or mesh router works.
