    Do these wifi extenders really work?

    • Enjj0y on 12/08/2017 - 22:34

      Yes extender does work but makes bandwidth half & sometimes transition from AP to extender is not smooth.

      I don't know about this one though.

        Double the length, half the strength

        if they operate on only 2.4ghz, then yes …. all will reduce your bandwidth, if you get ones that use 5ghz, you can bridge via the 5 ghz and no impact on the 2.4ghz users.

        you only get 3 non-overlapping channels on 2.4ghz.

    Will help me with wireless access I don't have in the garage
    I just got it, it comes to $9.35 AUD + some cents from Cashrewards

  • pmathieson on 13/08/2017 - 00:33

    I bought one on the last deal, arrived yesterday and set up tonight. I definitely have got a better signal in the back room, but haven't done any tests as compared to being direct on my network - but any speed is better than zero.

  • timetoquit on 13/08/2017 - 00:41

    I don't know a lot about these Wifi extenders, could someone explain how this Xiaomi compares to my Netgear EX3700 AC750 Dual Band Universal WiFi Range Extender I purchased for $75 the other week?

    Set it up last week to extend the range of my Arlo Pros and have found speed appears more consistent and stable with the Extender than the actual crappy Modem/ Router Optus supplied to me about 4 years ago!

    • lostn on 13/08/2017 - 00:57

      $75 item vs $9 item. I think you're good.

      • timetoquit on 13/08/2017 - 01:34

        haha, good enough for me!

    • Diji1 on 13/08/2017 - 16:31

      Optus makes more money if they supply you cheap junk (lower equipment cost) with low performance (lower network costs).

  • Chemhaz on 13/08/2017 - 02:29

    I have two of these, one is in my laundry about 20m from my modem and extends the wifi signal out the back yard and beyond, the other I set up for my neighbor to access my internet service {during off peak times with time rules on my modem). Its about as far from my modem, goes through a colorbond fence, brick wall and a couple of internal walls and has a full signal.

    They take about a minute to setup via the Mi-Home app and can either replicate the original wifi signal so your existing devices connect as normal or be set up as a different wifi hotspot name and password as I did with next door so they log in to their own details.

    They plug into a standard USB power supply, the Mi-Home app lets you check the strength and turn them on and off as you need, for $9.xx you can't go wrong.

    • Spellbound on 13/08/2017 - 10:18

      Thanks for the detailed post. Can you set up the device without plugging in to a router? The router i want to extend doesn't have a usb port. Thanks in advance.

      • pull the lever on 13/08/2017 - 11:26

        Standard USB power supply means your USB phone charger will power this thing.

        • Spellbound on 13/08/2017 - 12:51

          I understand that part. However I read on the sale page it pairs by plugging in to the router.

          "Plug and Play, Very Easy to Install

          Just insert the Xiaomi Wi-Fi amplifier into the router, it will automatically pair when the yellow indicator turns into blue; then plug the Amplifier into other USB port."

        • Yakuza85 on 13/08/2017 - 14:22

          @Spellbound: If you have the Xiaomi router you can do that, otherwise you log in to it from what i understand.

          @Yakuza85:

          Thanks so much. Pulled trigger on it!

        • Gershom on 13/08/2017 - 17:02

          @Spellbound:

          It doesn't physically plug in, it pairs.

  • Timmmy76 on 13/08/2017 - 07:12

    You reckon these things work? Have a large house and at the front signal is weak as piss,was gonna buy another modem to bridge the signal or should I try one of these things out?

    • lzwdavid on 13/08/2017 - 07:27

      Buy two of this..

    • Gershom on 13/08/2017 - 17:04

      I got one (different brand) for $40 from Auspost last year, works a treat. I can still get my 25MBPS on the extender, plenty for anything.

  • dynaflow on 13/08/2017 - 08:35

    I've finding this a true nightmare to set up..followed instructions to the letter but hit a non-negotiable snag when they suggest the"select mainland china"before logging on.Help!

    • Clear on 13/08/2017 - 09:00

      In the Xiaomi app have you set your region to Mainland China?

      • Yakuza85 on 13/08/2017 - 16:38

        correct, you need to doe this in the App to set it up apparently.

  • zfa on 13/08/2017 - 09:46

      just bought one 1 min ago, worked fine. were you logged in before applying the coupon?

      • zfa on 13/08/2017 - 10:21

        Ahhh…. Thanks for that. I was trying to apply it on the signup-checkout combined page. Worked a treat if I created the account and logged in first.

  • Slave1 on 13/08/2017 - 10:27

    So noob question here - any issues with plugging this into a USB port on a PS4?

    • EightImmortals on 13/08/2017 - 11:41
      +1

      Wouldn't have thought so, the USB is just to power the device AFAIK. Got one in the last sale and seems to work fine. I just plug into a powerbank and take it downstairs.

    My current Modem has maximum connections of 20, which has been a problem as I have several Lifx lights (thanks OB). Will I be able to connect more devices if i get one of these?

    Deleted the App & reinstalled selecting "Mainland China" etc.Appears to be working as we speak.Do most just plug the Repeater into the USB port of their (laptop) computer?

    Just be warned that it extends your Wifi all the way to Peoples Republic of China trying to contact some IP address in China every 10 seconds. Firmware also has some service listening at telnet tcp/23 port which is 100% a backdoor.

    And it has single 1T1R antenna, so your extended wifi will be limited to 72 Mbit/sec.

    • drpharish on 13/08/2017 - 18:55

      that is worrying!

    • EightImmortals on 14/08/2017 - 09:21

      Got some linkys for that , bit if a worry if it's true. Though I guess all the other extenders are wired up to the NSA instead?

      (or a link on how to fix it.)

    • spc12go on 14/08/2017 - 10:51

      Do you have any more information to share? I did a search on Google and couldn't find anything.

    • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 14/08/2017 - 21:32

      Have heard this about their WiFi cameras.
