Wifi Extender Deals & Offers

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

Not sure, I set mine up in repeater using Wi-Fi. You could try put cable from powerline in lan port and try access if that fails try repeater.

I'm also trying to set mine up as a repeater. Are you just connecting to your primary router via wifi? I want to use my Powerline to extend the range of my primary router. For that, do I put the new router in repeater mode or AP moder?

If it has an ip address the same as your main router /modem you have to change it . If main network is 192.168.1.1 then this has to be different , change to 192.168.3.1 or any number you like as long as the third digit is different. Otherwise your network will keep crashing. Believe it or not found this out from a Maplin sales guy last year when I had the same problem .

Taking mine back today it is dropping to its knees quicker than the girls in Amsterdam

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.

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

It's back in stock BigPro,joel_69

This is just a wifi repeater. If you actually want to extend your WiFi try a homeplug with WiFi. Connects to your router via homeplug (signal through electrical wiring) to other homeplug which can be set up to broadcast the same WiFi network (SSID) as your router. DIY/poor man's mesh network. (cheeky)

Just tried that one, and it says out of stock on there too! I am on stand by ready to purchase now

Out of stock! Wow that is incredibly fast. Just saw on WhatsApp now about this offer, and thought "right, let's buy this now" and clicked on the link right this minute - this item is out of stock. Will check again in the morning, as I am definitely buying this.

Literally went O.O.S as I pressed purchase :(

Plug these into my asus router got the lights solid blue on both disc but had no internet

I have one ac lite in the middle floor in a 3 storey home, with well insulated floors between each floor, I have no issues with wireless. Do these have to be plugged into the network via ethernet as well? P.s. the house is about 7x7meters

Ubiquiti is a better solution if you know what you're doing as it can be configured to do a lot more, but can be used just like the BT solution.

Spec does not match Whole home hence why I didn't mention. The AC Pro is 3x3 mimo AC1750 vs whole home 4x4 mimo AC2500. Like I said you get a lot more for your money than you would from one unifi unit. I live in a 7 bedroom house and find I only really need the 2 discs but didn't want to waste the third one. Might have been possible to use just the one but router is located in kitchen and that's where the master disc is don't have any sockets left in centre of house to place it.

Have this set up in a 5 bedroom house, with one in office (downstairs) and one on landing (upstairs). In bedroom, used to get ~20MB/s, now getting ~200MB/s. This is the max plan speed, so seems like it works! There is coverage in the whole house.

Isn't this just a repost? Been around this price since the early summer. https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/NETGEAR-Extender-External-Antennas-EX2700-100UKS/product/B00NIUHAG6

great things!

I've been using one of these extenders for a longtime now and they seem to do an alright job but like a lot of other comments I believe I will move to powerline adaptors as they seem to be a better solution in getting wifi to hard to reach areas.

I toyed with the idea of getting one of these but in the end I just bought a decent router. I have 75mbps fibre with modem and router in the living room. I have a 4 bed detached house and was getting under 1mbps in the bedroom farthest away from the living room using the naffy ISP supplied zyxel router. Buying a nighthawk r7000 gives me about 45/50mbps. Huge improvement.

Second this - some good deals on here too. Much better than wifi extenders

Hopefully this will work but if it doesnt I'll definitely try this, heard a lot of mixed reviews about range extenders too. I've actually got the stuff to do it lying about for the project you suggested, hmmmmm now whether to cancel my amazon order or not... :/ Thanks SFJnet I love a good tinker!

You can also buy powerline adapters that are wifi hot spots, so a really tidy solution. Much better than these wifi extenders. I use Solwise powerline adapters. Voted cold

Can also preorder from Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/BT-Essentials-Wi-Fi-Powerline-500/dp/B01D0BP06Y thats what I have done

If you wanted one but Argos were out of stock, it's worth checking again. It's round the time uncollected reservations expire. (I let mine lapse after deciding not to get it).

Looks good, been after a decent one for a while as WiFi is garbo in my living room.

hi - does this create a new wifi network? or does it store same info as original (name and password)? thanks

Does this come with 2 ethernet cables to connect with? Edit: Also is it only compatible with 2g or 5g as well?

Thanks for the correction. Learn something new everyday 😁

that's not correct.

its a wifi extender not a powerline adapter. does not matter which mains circuit it plugs into as it picks up the wireless signal from your router and extends it. it does not send or receive broadband signal through your mains electric circuit like a powerline adapter. yes they work as we have one.

These only work when on the same circuit as your router.

Does the do the same as a home plug? I want to strengthen my outside WiFi range so could plug it in my garage where I get WiFi but the garage is in a different circuit board if that matters??

Didn't have this deal but had the single 300Mbs BT plug for £5 at Tesco Stockton-on-Tees, so cheers OP

Yeah, just been thinking that having a wifi boost would be nice....

Depends if u need WiFi or not...?

The Ethernet is perfect on most homeplugs. The WiFi sucks because of the separation.

Right, purchased this one and the other one with passthrough but no WiFi. Advice please, which one to keep? Thanks.

£14.99 now for Prime

Been using mine a few days now...really good for the price. Am going to order more for the garden for when use the projector/Fire Stick outside for the Mayweather fight (party) and my dad's house.

Hope someone can help me. I'm looking to get better/more responsive wifi in a room fairly far away from the router. If I connect an ethernet cable from my router to this (10 metres away) will this be able to give me a wifi signal within my room with say a different wifi name to my router? Thanks Apologies if the above is hard to understand I tried my best to descirbe it.

Would this work with getting to my sky q box near back of my house? I tried a power line but it doesn't work!

Great deal

No idea why voted frosty to be honest!

glad it has helped someone :)

Thanks OP grabbed 2 from Ipswich asda marked up at 19.99 but going thru at a tenner. Same price as eBay extenders but working much better

iPood?

Pretty pricey...
