Is RBK50 better than this..this gives more coverage

It’s a good system, I have the RBK30 with just the one satellite and have strong WiFi coverage throughout our house and garden

The faster 2 unit RBK50 comes up at £199 sometimes.

Edited link

Item shows one of Netgear RBK30 and one of RBW30? And not two? Correct me if I'm wrong?

Yes

Are these any good, I have a dead zone in my lounge where my phone constantly switches from WiFi to 4g, my switch shows zero Internet but my alexa works fine

Heat added - nice price :)

Plug it in, connect your WiFi to it and go to tplinkrepeater.net (if setting up 1st time, the website loads up itself). Then you just follow on-screen instruction - scan for networks, choose yours, change extended WiFi name and set password (you can keep router password as well). Voilà, all done.

+1 I have this and it’s a one button push on the extender and another on your router to connect. It even has its own app so you can customise it. You can even turn the lights out on it. I have it on my landing and works great as a night light. Never dropped connection once and had it about a year.

Got one and works well. Use it to bridge gap from router to garden by plugging in end of house.

Both choose one or the other I have it and it works fine but if you have a rubbish unreliable router that drops signal even when your near it don’t bother with this

Have this and it’s terrible. Loses connection all the time for some reason. Have reset it to factory settings too but still doesn’t help. Looking into mesh WiFi now or the Uniquiti APs.

Ordered, thanks OP.

Bought these. Great item. Plug and play. No set up. Worked a treat

Hmm - quite disappointed in the performance. I knew not to reasonably expect 100+Mb/s (Using the ethernet port). I have no idea what your '600 Mbps' is supposed to represent when the box claims 100Mb/s. In my flat for two sockets next to each other I could only get aroud ~36Mb/s, slower in real world terms than my Wi-fi. These were supposed to replace running ethernet across my floor, but this just won't do. Yes you can run off the list of environmental issues that can affect speeds but I still feel duped.

Done, doesn't matter anyway I don't think as it's cold.

I think people would be interested in both :). There's enough space to mention it in the title.

Better in what way? It's slower close range, and long range. http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/tp-link/1406022/tp-link-deco-m5-review-a-challenger-for-google-wifis-crown It's better if you want the 2 years AV...

Some advice please if you could? What the difference is between these units and the BT ones? I notice Alexa compatibility mentioned on the TP ones, not sure what use this would be for a WiFi system? Also someone has mentioned Ubiquiti Networks device - would this be better than either of the above?

I've just replaced my M5 setup that i also added a 4th node to. With 2 Ubquiti AP Lite access points. Then installed the controller onto windows. Far better experience. the M5 needed rebooted every 1-2 weeks. Would not connect via App very reliably. The 'Traffic' monitoring, only volume, was useless. Also the hand off between mobile device an nodes sucks.

Got rid of our Cisco set up in work and got the ubiquiti AC ones, very pleased with them

^ What he said.

You're welcome

thank you it worked

Try user name admin and password admin

does anyone have the default password please Ive reset mine and cannot get on, or the manual in pdf format, cheers

Hmm, mine is not playing ball.... Do you need to make sure it's on a separate channel from your main router?

It’s in the mi home app, when setting up use the China server not the Europe one then follow the setup instructions in the app then it’s done

Thanks for that. Appreciated. Where do I get the screen you have? Via the Mi home app? Or does this device have its own app. By the way, I have this unused unopened as I bought 2 a few months ago. One I unpacked and used but never really needed it. I have the other one spare so if someone wants to buy it cost price ex post , then swing me a pm. I'll find put what I paid was about £5/6 if anyone interested. If it was cheaper then you can have it for that.

Just toggle that switch and it uses the same ssid and password

You can have it the same SSID and password as that’s how I have mine works a treat swaps between my router and this when I got out of range of the router I don’t even notice it’s swapped

No, it creates a new SSID

Cr "The Tool" w

People moaning about 2.4ghz being overcrowded yes that's true to an extent but not a problem for everyone us rural types who are quite happily using nice uncongested 2.4Ghz, Hell even urban types with big gardens & detached houses are probably OK too. I'm mostly using 5Ghz AC these days just because my router & some devices support it but the 2.4Ghz devices aren't a problem at all.

But you still have not answered this one. These will become obsolete in 2-3 years" "Do you have any actual research to back this claim up" There are lots of items that become obsolete so giving an example like you did is pointless and wrong. You might as well say dont buy an ipad, TV, computer, car etc it will be pointless in a couple years and give the same example."the same way that those 1A USB wall plugs" and again you would be wrong as people are still using them.

@gavin1 Let's agree to disagree on this one because we're already spamming this post with an off-topic subject. If you want to check how much current a 1A rated actually delivers you can buy one of these and see for yourself. I own a few and that's what prompted my obsolescence comparison.

There are two aspects which seem to completely eluded you: 1. I said chargers, not "mains socket usb" which kind of makes your search irrelevant. 2. Unlike Gavin's percentage, my obsolescence example was just that, an example. The half-speed and the overcrowded 2,4Ghz band which I mentioned in relation to the product in this deal are facts. What were you saying about "looking like a tool"? PS: This might help you in your future comments.

Out of stock

Note this is for a used/ pre-owned product. Likely very hard to find stock at a local branch. Admittedly it does say (Used) in the deal title!

Great price. But no stock anywhere near where I live. Can't order and pay in store. Just pay then order them into the store. I'm not sure I want to do that with the company going into administration. As mentioned, great price if you can get them locally.

15.99 în B&m Byker..

Do not buy this model! It's absolutely rubbish as only does wireless N at 2.4ghz. Your throwing your money away unless getting an AC Wi-Fi model

I’ve had one a while. Wouldn’t recommend.

This was £14.99 last week from Amazon, it will drop again.

If you have a stone house with thick stone walls in between - this is dreadful. The signal doesn't stretch from even 1 room to another - I replaced with a Netgear (more expensive admittedly) but it works much better

yep tplink ones had gigabit ethernet , netgear just 10/100. also been this price for about a month, but quite good wiht integrated plug socket

I bought homeplugs tp link gigabit with Wi-fi which copies Wi-fi settimgafrom the router is this the same as a Wi-fi extender

I’d much rather a powerline one, rather than repeating a degrading signal.

A second dedicate router may be a better choice. This is pretty expensive.

I feel justly reprimanded. Thanks.

Is there a nice dual band one cheaper than this. Thanks. around 20-30 range. cheers

You mean copy 'n' paste, you don't cut marketing drivel sadly. But I know what you mean! Looks a useful if ugly and expensive thing, sort of thing I find never quite works as I hoped.
