    Is that pronounced router or rooter?

      router

    So if I have poor wifi coverage from my adsl router in a room I can just plug this in some power in the room and signal will now be fine?
    Is that what this is?

    • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 27/09/2017 - 14:53

      depends what the reason for your signal being poor is.
      If the cause is weak signal due to penetration, it will probably improve it.
      If the cause is due to interference with other 2.4ghz devices, probably not.

      • PVA on 27/09/2017 - 15:03

        Thanks, just poor reception due to distance and walls.
        Anyway ordered one and will see how it goes, worth $6 to try.

          we had the xiaomi wifi router 3. caused some issues in repeater mode (devices would just drop off and wouldn't be able to reconnect).

          replaced with a tp-link WPA8630P kit. it's a wifi extender, connected to main router via ethernet over power adapters. it works well (for x20 the price, i would hope so…). in case this helps…

        • PVA on 27/09/2017 - 15:25

          @scrimshaw:
          Thanks. It's for the playroom one person says their laptop is fine the other says not so, they only mentioned this last night. I wasn't going to worry about it until I saw this deal. I'll put it somewhere before that room.
          I'm thinking this device will be ok but if not I've only lost a few bucks.

    • macrocephalic on 27/09/2017 - 15:59

      You will need to plug it in somewhere between the router and your room. Imagine your trying to cross a creek on stepping stones and there's too big of a gap between two; there's no point getting a new stone and putting it next to one of the other stones - you have to put it somewhere between the two.

      • PVA on 27/09/2017 - 16:01
        +1

        Yeah, I kinda didn't explain it well.

        What I meant was that this isn't a 3 g dongle for a laptop or anything weird like that, it's just a signal booster to have half way to another area of the home.

        • macrocephalic on 27/09/2017 - 16:04

          Ah yes, yes it is a signal booster (technically a repeater).

        • PVA on 27/09/2017 - 16:15

          @macrocephalic:
          In the description it said … Network Communication: 3G Only
          And seeing it looks like a dongle, I wasn't sure.

          All good, thanks.

  • reafrajr on 27/09/2017 - 15:51

    I bought one during the previous promo. Got it in about ~2 weeks. Pretty painless setup. Regarding the signal, it does seem to increase the signal bars - haven't done any tests though.

  • [Deactivated] on 27/09/2017 - 16:09

    Pretty useless extender if you turn off your modem as you have to set it up every time.

    • scrimshaw on 27/09/2017 - 16:17

      I just tested power cycling my router as I have a capped internet connection. The settings of this device isn't stored in the cloud nor is it managed by your router, it seems to be handled by the device itself.

      You might have a dud unit? Also, most people don't turn off their ADSL / NBN routers, it's usually on 24hrs / 365 days

    • RocketSwitch on 27/09/2017 - 16:20

      I haven't turned off my router in 1 year.

        Turn off/on mine (ADSL 2) relatively regularly…ISP may be playing silly throttling games?

        Anyway an off and on often gets me back my usual speed after it has fallen by 50% or more for no clear reason.

        • [Deactivated] on 28/09/2017 - 08:29

          Yeah, that happens to my modem as well. Turn off at night so speeds come back in the morning and day.

  • macrocephalic on 27/09/2017 - 16:13

    Seems to be broken for me. I put in the code and get a message about it being $5.22 fixed price, but when I go to pay it's still US$8.99. Tried multiple times.

    • PVA on 27/09/2017 - 16:19

      Is it a postage / insurance option?
      Mine was fine once I logged in.

      • macrocephalic on 27/09/2017 - 17:08

        I am logged in. When I apply the code it actually goes from $8.99 to $10.61, then if I go to the next step and select the free postage it goes back down to $8.99.

        Hmm, it works from a different browser (Opera vs Chrome). Given that both of those are essentially the same browser, I'm assuming it was some sort of session/cookie that was screwing up.

          you didnt have operas built in VPN turned on, seeing its for Aus IPs only.

          @PVA: I had it on the first time I tried, then I turned it off but the problem kept happening, that's why I suspect it was some sort of session/cookie issue.

    Is it a amplifier or a repeater?

      Yes.

    • scrimshaw on 27/09/2017 - 16:21
      +1

      It's a repeater. That's why the product tag I created mentions "repeater' instead of amplifier, although technically speaking, this repeats signals and extends your range

      It does not amplify weak signals, hence my recommendation in comment above: avoid place it in a location where it would only receive partial / weak signals.

  • Hornpub on 27/09/2017 - 19:41

    still don't get how a repeater works. if the signal is bad, what would it do anyway if it just receives the bad one and rebroadcast it?>

    • PVA on 27/09/2017 - 20:50
      +1

      You have it in a position before it gets bad.
      Eg your router is at the front door but you get no signal at the back of the house, have one of these half way to extend the signal.

  • loropy9 on 27/09/2017 - 20:58

    I got this yesterday from the last deal. It receives the signal from my wifi and creates another wifi signal with the same hotspot name and ads "_plus" at the end of the name. So I log out of my normal wifi and connect to the new network using the same password. The signal appears to be a bit stronger than my Netgear modem. Slight reduction of speed, seems very acceptable for the money. You need to register fo a Mi account to be able to set up the app using your phone. All in all, an easy process.

        That would depend on internet speed.

          a half duplex repeater with two or more clients with one streaming youtube while the other streaming 1080p may cause enough congestion for the 1080p to drop frames.

      • PVA on 28/09/2017 - 11:04

        I bet you wouldn't notice much difference in slow adsl areas.

      • elektron on 28/09/2017 - 11:25

        I get a reasonable ADSL2+ speed (around 12 mbps near the router) and only notice a drop of %5 using the repeater at the other end of the house. Without the repeater I practically had no internet in the kitchen.

    I got mine yesterday from the previous deal and s struggled for a long time last night trying to get this going but finally got it working.
    What I had to do is use the green MiHome app on an Apple phone not the blue app. Set the app location to Mainland (China) and choose the Mi Wi-fi repeater 2. I also had to change my Fritzbox router Wi-Fi WPA Mode from “WPA/WPA2” to “WPA2(CCMP)”
    A blue light on the unit shows it has connected, the last screen on the app said the process has failed for me but as it went to a blue light from the flashing yellow, I found it did indeed configure properly.

    • Skinnerr on 28/09/2017 - 21:19

      Thanks for this mate. I had trouble setting it up, i had no idea which location to set to as their is no australia region, and the chinese regions were written obviously in chinese so I tried U.S server singapore and it wouldnt connect.

      Tried your way and good as gold. I bought this as my bedroom is a good 30m + upstairs through cement walls and got barely half a bar and dropouts. Now I get full bars streaming 1080p60fps youtube cookin with gas. Thanks TA for last deal TA, all I need now is the xiaomi bendy usb light and smart desk lamp.
