      Me! Are they Super Useful [TM]?

      • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2017 - 15:14

        Repeaters share the "airtime" so in some situations can make wifi slower.

        It's an inexpensive way to extend range, but also the least effective.

        • WaywardOne on 14/10/2017 - 08:35

          If only it was dual band and it received and transmitted on different frequencies. Are dual band repeaters available?

        • [Deactivated] on 15/10/2017 - 13:41
          +3

          @WaywardOne:

          Repeaters use the same channel for transmit and receive. Clients expect the same channel per BSS. If the channel changes there needs to be a new BSS which means it's no longer a repeater but something more complicated and expensive. Although sales & marketing might still call it a repeater so as not to confuse the average punter, it's not really a repeater.

          Mesh wifi can use different channel for transmit and receive, but that's obviously more expensive.

  • spackbace on 13/10/2017 - 15:13

    Tried messing with mine the other day, wouldn't pick up the 5GHz SSID, and it's on WPA2 :/ Picked up the 2.4GHz SSID, also with WPA2 lol

    • DogGunn on 13/10/2017 - 15:20

      That's because it's 2.4GHz only.

      I've had this for a week now, absolutely regret buying it, it's worse than my Huawei E5573 being used as WiFi extender/repeater in every way. The huawei setup is a breeze compared to this MiHome shit, takes much longer from power on to being usable, data transfer is much slower than the huawei too, i can take the huawei anywhere for it having built-in battery, the xiaomi has a big drain on the power bank as well, when i took both units out to the garage only the huawei can 'see' the WiFi. Oh BTW the huawei Hi-link app is optional, i can access all its functionalities from the browser unlike the xiaomi
      I think the huawei has 5GHz support, there is option to choose in the setting although i can't verify since i don't have 5GHz at home

      • The Monk on 13/10/2017 - 16:04

        you are comparing a $6 repeater with a $40 wifi broadband. not really relevant whatsoever.

        • bonz on 13/10/2017 - 16:17

          i paid $14 for the modem about a year ago, now i bought this xiaomi thinking it would improve the speed seeing its advertised as high speed (300 mbps ), the huawei is self powered as well as being 4G plus MBB modem, although it was an Optus prepaid, it came unlocked out of the box. So for the prices i paid, I'm very disappointed

        • GregMonarch on 13/10/2017 - 17:47
          +6

          I wish people wouldn't diss other people willing to type/waffle about an items shortcomings. It's not relevant to you, but it could be relevant to other people. For example, it was relevant to ME. I've been thinking of buying one of these, and already have a much more expensive Huawei pocket wifi than the E5573.

          So:

          1. I'd never heard of the app which I'm installing right now.
          2. I've never known if plugging one of these into a powerbank would actually be any more convenient than unplugging my pocket wifi and taking it out to the garage.
          3. Still have no any idea if my free Optus iheart would work through one. So it's a risk buying something I may not use.
        • arctan on 13/10/2017 - 17:59

          @GregMonarch: $6 is a lot of risk to take for some people.

          +1

          @bonz: OK, you have bought this without understanding what it is or what it does. Its not going to "boost" your signal meaning an increase in your download/browsing speeds if you are sat right next to your pocketwifi.

          Heres an explanation of what it does:

          @arctan: [Sigh.] No, $6 isn't a risk. But $6 multiple times through your life is wasteful and stupid. In fact, by that reasoning, why come here to save money at all!? The guy was generous enough with his time to share his negative experience. If it doesn't apply to you, good - go on your way and mind your own business, because it will apply to someone else. The entire point of this site is to SHARE: bargains, information… if you have nothing more productive to say than, "Waste money by buying things to find out if they work…" then what are you doing here!?

        • bonz on 14/10/2017 - 10:02

          @The Monk: Nah, i know full well what a repeater is/does, i already am aware that the further away from the router the more lost packets in data transmission. Thanks to someone on here who mentioned about the repeater ability of my pocket WiFi that i was silly enough to not read the bloody manual, i simply thought the included 30 day 4GB data was too cheap for the $14 i paid, the modem itself was gathering dust unless i picked up a really cheap data sim to throw in it. Prior the discovery of the bonus extender function we couldn't get a reliable wifi signal in the kitchen to read/watch cooking instructions because the router is placed upstairs, now with the pocket wi-fi sitting halfway, the whole house is covered albeit the lower speed from 'repeater' is as expected. The reason i bought this xiaomi amplifier is because i thought it being a "dedicated" repeater as well as being boasted with having dual antennas it should outperform the secondary function of the pocket wi-fi. So if anyone who has a newish pocket wi-fi with the extender/repeater function this Mi Wi-Fi may not be what you need, i hope all the xiaomi fanbois won't smash me for this but i find it stupid to have to register an account to be able to use the device, not to mention to have to connect to a server in China, initially i chose the US server because i feel uneasy with the chinese connection, but that didn't detect the devce, now i use the Singapore/US server instead

          ps. why does the MiHome app require access to my phone's camera, contacts, location, microphone, sms, storage, and phone calls ?

        • arctan on 14/10/2017 - 12:48

          @GregMonarch: just buy it and give it a shot. If its not working then sell it on gumtree. It's just 6 bux and you expect it to work like something 60 bux. Not gonna happen.

        • GregMonarch on 14/10/2017 - 16:40

          You're kidding. I don't trust the Australian government, let alone the Chinese one. I wouldn't get one now if it was 6 cents. Thank you.

    • HandsomeMonkey on 14/10/2017 - 00:14

      Couldnt get it to work with my router.My Router is WPA/WPA 2 PSK. I have no idea how to setup WPA 2 since I don't know what Radius Authentication Server's IP is.

        I also cannot get mine to work properly. it seems to connect to router and shows as SSID_plus.

      I can't help but start to feel like gearbest is taking ozbargainers for a ride… since creating a forum topic regarding gearbest, I've read people have been receiving fake xiaomi earphones, packages taking months to turn up, some packages not ever showing up… not to mention my own xiaomi amazfit purchase which is faulty on arrival (starting to wonder if it is even a legit xiaomi watch).

      • Beerforkids on 14/10/2017 - 05:39

        Two years ago i purchased a phone on sale and was given confirmation they had stock.
        Well they didn't and i was promised it would be in next week for over 2 months.
        I got annoyed and requested a refund and then they refused it and offered a store credit.
        I said no way and launched a paypal dispute which paypal ruled in my favor.

        Gearbest is still a dodgy site. Its own domain name registra information was tied to several sites used to different scams.
        One in particular was used for sending some pretty nasty adware.

        I still have the email from them of all this and screenshots backing all this up.

    • arctan on 30/10/2017 - 17:17

      Yep worked great for me on full brick townhouse. Modem and router are at ground floor so this little tool on upstairs corridor makes it a great addition to the wifi range and signal strength. So far it has been rock solid for me.

      • iversonjack on 30/10/2017 - 17:36

        I have also tested it and it has been good for split floors.
        People have been saying the speed is meant to be halved when this device is activated, is this really the case?
        I have run speed test on both wifi networks and they are the same speed as just the modem without this amplifier…

    Whats the point of Wifi Roaming mode? I know it keeps the SSID the same name with the source but I wouldve thought if I am in the area where the repeaters signal is stronger, it will auto switch to that while keeping the same SSID. Doesn't look like it works that way?

    There probably is a forum somewhere but I wanna ask here if I can-

    Question from the tech challenged….if I have an LG tablet running Android 4.4.2 why can't I install the app from the PlayStore…says version not compatible with device

    Installed the MiHome on a PC but says Sing server not available in this region….US server said couldn't see device.

      • MiHome app sounds like it needs a later version of Android - you're using KitKat which is ancient now as it's 3 full versions behind.
