          My Place, in the CBD of a capital city, was supposed to get NBN in 2016, now its 2019.

          Even more frustrating is that 50m away are getting theirs activated now.

        • [Deactivated] on 03/01/2018 - 22:06

          @xev:
          Ye, it seems the areas that are far from the city get nbn first.

        • xev on 03/01/2018 - 22:19
          +1

          I believe it was part of the deal Labor had to do to pass it the legislation, with members of remote areas worried the NBN would run out of money or interest before their towns would get connected they had to agree to do a 'scattershot' roll out instead of doing the sensible and faster thing and starting in major cities and working their way out.

          So even under Labor the NBN had their hands tied to the post before the Liberals came along and well and truly 'Routed' it.

          Hi @BrodenIt, maybe use a timer (Analogue or Smartplug) and set it for 15 minutes, that should be enough (remember to use a timer and do not turn off/on your modem/router remotely as you lose access to the network completely and won't be able to turn it back on remotely) or access your router settings page in a browser and reset it from there when necessary?
          Ps: I just checked it for you. It automatically reconnected after a random 5 minutes disconnection break. Upon reconnecting I went ahead and tried to reach my original router settings page from the repeater network with different SSID, and somehow it magically gave me access to that private page. If it keeps this state steady, it gets 10 out of 10 from me. I will use the new one that I bought, to divide internet/network access for devices in different rooms to stop them messing with one another and the main router hopefully! That was my main problem that a device would shut down the entire network hopefully they will get stuck in a sub-network now and don't flood the whole system (fingers crossed).
          Thanks again.

  • elcheapoinoz on 03/01/2018 - 22:05

    Do these create a new ssid? Or somehow extend the one you have?

    • donnot on 03/01/2018 - 22:38

      They create a new SSID (original name with "_Plus" appended).

      • elcheapoinoz on 03/01/2018 - 22:41

        Thanks. Probably not suitable for smaller spaces as the would keep switching from one ssid to another.

        Hmmmm. Might need to buy mesh

        • [Deactivated] on 03/01/2018 - 23:22

          You can match the SSID, hide it and use it in roaming mode
          What are the benefits of having mesh?

        • elcheapoinoz on 04/01/2018 - 18:25

          @pal: mesh does seamless connection between APs.
          with a repeater, depending on how smart your phone/PC is to detect the signal/how far you are from the router/repeater, there is a risk
          for the connection to be constantly switching from one to another, or not switching at all.
          mesh would make the change from node to node seamless "supposedly"

        • [Deactivated] on 04/01/2018 - 22:02

          Thanks for the reply @elcheapoinoz, I would say that's what the repeater does, it just repeats the network like a mesh. The rest of the explanation is the definition of marketing. I have couple of routers that I set them up as extenders like the "mesh" but my $6 Xiaomi repeater 2 outperforms the $200+ "mesh". Thanks for the explanation I wasn't sure what was the craze for.

    • Borg on 03/01/2018 - 23:03

      I don't believe this will work mobile hotspot.

    • [Deactivated] on 03/01/2018 - 23:29

      Yes, if your concern is the dynamic IP, it should work no matter what router you use the inbound/outbound in house connection shouldn't be affected. Where inbound connections from outside with dynamic IP would be a bit of disappointment. Which has nothing to do with this repeater/extender
      Do you have problem with that Dynamic IP?

    So you have to power this by a USB port? But it just needs power via USB right so could be plugged into the mains?

      Correct, one can use a mains 5v mobile style powerplug that has a USB output.

    Is it best to have this connected close to the router?

    • [Deactivated] on 04/01/2018 - 01:05

      Why?
      This is an extender where the network does not reach. Obviously the closer to the router the better internet speed if you can still connect but if you leave it next to the router and the router coverage outperforms the extender, then why bother unless you want to use for a different purpose as I explained above.

          They need to come up with a global protocol that connects all of these devices to a network for crowd finding.
          I haven't come across a wifi version, they definitely need a central back end server for that to work but and be more reliable not sure about the battery life and range then. Maybe this technology will never be perfect.

        We should avoid OZBargain if it does not guarantee a safe place where to choose our suppliers.
        It does work when everyone is entitled with it's opinion and gives the wider public an unbiased view of the market. That makes it an effective tool for ppl to come together and buy stuff.
        Whenever someone like you are doing here comes to censor with a deductive logic, which is how a priest would talk in a few word, Ozbargain loses his selling point.

          @Clear: Sure on one hand , on the other there is the group buying aspect of it otherwise this is no different from a marketing brochure. Anyway thanks for your interest in my case but after my experience(that,the unapologetic costumer service and the parcel still somewhere in the outer space) and going trough the rep section and a number of reviewers websites I do feel I should put it out there as a contribution to the community.
          I just invite anyone to do their homework without taking anything away from you Clear.This has nothing to do with your contribution on this seller and I do appreciate your unbiased efforts.
