        there was 2 deals last year with MSY selling them for next to nothing and both were compatibe to ddwrt, i got 1 of them to set up as wireless repeater bridge and could stream videos through 4 brick walls, abit after tweaking the output power

        no deals this year though :/

        Hey pimko, for just $19 you can get a DLink DIR-632 at Harvey Norman's BIG BUYS stores. I got a catalogue today. Perfect for ddwrt fans. It can even handle some USB wireless dongles.

  • viggenn on 16/09/2014 - 13:15

    This thing work well, performance is fine. However mine keeps taking over DHCP from my main router, waiting for a firmware fix.

    • ozhunter68 on 16/09/2014 - 13:35

      Same here, but works well for a moderate boost. Just don't expect a big boost. Easy set up, but mine also connects before main router, although closer to main router. Easy to switch between connections though.

    • boretentsu on 16/09/2014 - 13:45

      Does this cause it to "timeout"? Because that's what happens to mine. I constantly need to power cycle it which is annoying.

      • viggenn on 16/09/2014 - 13:53

        Yeah, I noticed my PS3 timing out trying to access internet and couldn't figure out what it was. In the end I noticed the IP given to the PS3 was from the extender, not router which is confusing since the PS3 is directly connected to the router by cable not wifi!

        Power cycling the extender fixes it, but after a few hours goes back to hijacking DHCP!

        • superforever on 16/09/2014 - 14:19

          Extender never assign IP because it is not a router.

  • jacknthebeanstalk on 16/09/2014 - 13:34

    Can this increase internet speed?

    • ozhunter68 on 16/09/2014 - 13:48

      If you are getting a weak signal ( say in a bedroom a fair distance from your main router ), and you have one of these between your signal and your device, it should increase signal strength and speed.

      I read somewhere that you can only increase the speed of signal up to half of the wifi extender at maximum ( not sure on this ). If you have a wireless N150 router, and use this or another N300 extender, you will get max speed of N75 ( I think ). So to get up maximum speed of N300, you will need to use this with a router of N600+ ( as single band ). If anyone has more knowledge on this, that might help others.

      Edit: Should have read comments below, someone could shed more light on it maybe.

        Yes, you are correct. An extender essentially acts as a client which receives data requested by any other device on network & boost/strengthens the signal before 'relaying/retransmitting it. I believe it only has 1 antenna for both Tx/Rx, hence throughput reduced to half.

        In being an 'extender' they mean widening the reach of connectivity. Does not increase speed of internet.

        As others have mentioned, a cheap router + DD-WRT is a much better option, but get this if you need plug & play simplicity (for tech-phobic ppl).

        edit: Smeg's answer below is worded better, but same point overall.

  • [Deactivated] on 16/09/2014 - 13:36

    Look I'm not going to neg it because I haven't actually tried it, but I wouldn't expect it to be very good. Keep your receipt for a return in this case.

    My reasons why I am dubious about this product:

    1. Wireless in general is not that reliable at long distances or solid construction, so if you are at the point of needing a repeater, you are likely to be dealing with this hurdles and the placement can be very hard. Even leaving doors open/shut can make a difference.

    2. Wireless Repeaters in general are pretty flaky due to usually only having 1 radio in them, it halves the throughput as it constantly switches between Sending/Receiving the signals.

    3. Small internal antenna.

    4. D-Link has the worst reputation for Wireless products

    If using a CAT5e/CAT6 ethernet cable is not possible or too expensive to install, I suggest having a look at HomePlug products first before resorting to Wireless Extenders. HomePlugs are not as reliable as ethernet cables but are not far behind (occasionally they don't work at all, depending on your specific electrical wiring), but they are much more reliable than Wireless Extenders/Repeaters, that's for sure.

    Thanks lots to the OP.

    OW did a price match, and the guy at the checkout said that he was going to buy one himself.
    OW dropped from $59!

    Just installed, and it works an absolute treat.
    Signal strength at the other end of the house from the router rose from almost nothing to full scale.

    Love it :-)

    • c0balt on 16/09/2014 - 20:08

      Of course it's going to say that the signal strength is full. Your new AP point is right next to you instead of at the other end of the house.

      The signal strength of the AP point to the router is a different story. So if you don't have any connection on your phone/tablet/wifi device, and it still says full signal - it can be the result of low signal received by extender AP point from the router.

      • ChrisLevo on 17/09/2014 - 08:45

        Download speeds on our tablets and mobiles was rubbish before I put in the range extender, and now it's fantastic.

    • [Deactivated] on 16/09/2014 - 18:48

      If you don't like the product you could probably sell it for $40-$50. That's what they are worth at other retailers.

      • c0balt on 16/09/2014 - 19:03

        Broden?

        In all seriousness though, people that need an extender should steer clear of this.

        • [Deactivated] on 16/09/2014 - 19:18

          At this price it's worth a shot, like 15 minutes worth of work for a lot of people.

          @Davo93:

          If it's so good then why didn't you give the deal a +1?

          I would say that $20 is not worth a shot considering you can flash DD-WRT or other open sourced firmwares on many routers around that price range or for a little more with proper antennas, ethernet, and possibly USB sharing that will greatly surpass the functionality of this product.

          Look into range extenders and you might change your tune, rather than just looking at the RRP and then the discount.

        • ozhunter68 on 16/09/2014 - 21:31

          @c0balt:

          Don't take it too personally, or should I say look at it mainly from your own point of view. Modems and especially wireless routers can be tricky to set up and get running correctly. Setting up DD-WRT is even more tricky and some people are happy to forgo some performance and features for an easy set up and quicker convenience.

          To buy one or even two units and because they are not suitable for use is certainly not being a "Broden," I think most OZBargainers would agree.

    I've had 2 of these and they're TERRIBLE. You'd get good connection at first then you'd lose it after a few hours. To fix it you'd have to reset it. Now it's freaking hard to get a connection, mine keeps saying "configuring IP" until a handful of tries it'd then connect. The biggest head fk extender ever. My friend also has one and they've got the same problem too.

  • adunt on 17/09/2014 - 13:31

    As might be expected, these appear to be a clearance of old stock with HW Version A1.
    I ordered mine online to be picked up from HN Bridge Rd Richmond VIC and they handed me a version A1. I asked if I could swap for the latest A2 and they pointed me to the stock on the shelf. They had about 30 units in stock. Went through them and most were A1, but managed to find a couple of A2 units and swapped mine over. Interestingly, most of the boxes had stickers on them stating "Not for resale". They must have been part of a previous give away with other hardware.

    I dropped by OW in Richmond and their 3 units on the shelf were all version A2. No wonder they aren't happy selling at this price. Wonder how much HN paid for the container load of old stock.

    Anyway, thought this might be helpful.

    • cyrax83 on 17/09/2014 - 13:40

      Didn't even know anything about revisions. Just checked bottom label of my boxes for 2 units from Officeworks and both say HW Ver: A2. Must have just been lucky haha. What's the difference?

      • adunt on 17/09/2014 - 14:21

        Not really sure what the difference is, but I assume some hardware improvements. This occurs with a lot of tech hardware, and not everyone may be aware to look.
        I only knew to check this because the Dlink Support site shows the two verions. Even two different manuals.

    Horrible experience at OW today basically they got the manager and looked at every excuse possible, saying why is there two prices on they're site. What's a hot deal, and after going into it saw it said limited time only.. And the manager is like nah I don't want to lose my job coz I'm gonna have to answer to my boss why I dropped from 59 to 19
