    Does this only boost or give the PC it's connected to network connectivity too?

      Didn't get you. It only boosts the signal. It doesn't work as a USB WLAN

    • Ramrunner on 28/10/2018 - 10:22

      It simply repeats an existing signal from an existing access point/router a second time.

      When placed as far as possible from that signal while still receiving it you can effectively extend your range.

      BUT

      because there's now two signals on the same channel is can halve the actual throughput.

      If that's not what you're looking for a good long range access point or mesh network will actually work faster.

  • froodh on 25/10/2018 - 11:42

    Whats the advantage of these or something like Google Mesh?

    • open4highway on 25/10/2018 - 11:45

      It just like a repeater, boosts your wifi signal.

      I keep it connected to a power bank when I'm in my bedroom to get more speeds. You can get a better signal, thus better wifi speeds :)

      • froodh on 25/10/2018 - 11:46

        can they work in a chain?

        • open4highway on 25/10/2018 - 11:48

          Really I have no clue :/ Btw how do you want to use it?

          • froodh on 25/10/2018 - 12:05

            @open4highway: Big house, concrete floors. If I can get these to relay signals up and down stairways, using multiple repeaters, than I can get good coverage.

            I'm currently using Edimax power-line repeaters, but these have been unreliable.

            • open4highway on 25/10/2018 - 12:19
              +1

              @froodh: I guess running 4-5 of these repeaters might increase interference as well. Not sure of it though. You'd be better off with buying a router considering most of the routers have repeater functionality embedded in them. You'll get more coverage and greater speeds from using routers rather than Xiaomi repeaters.

              • froodh on 25/10/2018 - 12:31

                @open4highway: OK. I think I will just need to hard-wire some repeater points.
                Thanks for your input.

            • loropy9 on 25/10/2018 - 19:17

              @froodh: I tried mine through two concrete slabs - from second floor to ground floor garage. Worked as if there was nothing in between.

      • Ramrunner on 28/10/2018 - 10:27

        Not always - if it's repeating the same Wifi signal a second time in the same frequency you will actually HALVE your speed.

    • cyssero on 25/10/2018 - 12:19

      These are cheap but I wouldn't rely on them for your scenario. A mesh network is easily going to be faster and more reliable.

  • stargalaxy on 25/10/2018 - 11:44

    I got one of this but don't notice any improvement in my wifi connection or internet speed.

    • open4highway on 25/10/2018 - 11:46

      I used it and always got 2-3Mbps greater speed than typical WIFI from router :3

      • orly on 25/10/2018 - 12:06

        That's like eff all. I get larger variance just from running a speed test back to back.

        • Jamesx on 25/10/2018 - 12:33

          if you want 200~300mbps improvement, look elsewhere…

            @Jamesx: And if you want to spend on a device that makes no discernible difference in speed, you've come to the right place.

    Ever wondered why Xiaomi network devices are so cheap. All I can say is backdoor, Chinese style.
    Be careful, there is a legitimate reason our banks and govt departments have a blanket policy of no Xiaomi or huawei on their networks.

    • open4highway on 25/10/2018 - 12:16
      +2

      I hope you're being sarcastic. Xiaomi devices are cheaper for its capability to scale up the sales while profiting from marginal revenues over time.

      • Scantu on 25/10/2018 - 12:49

        It is a legitimate concern, why would there be sarcasm involved? It is true - our governments don't use them, for a reason.

        • Clear on 25/10/2018 - 12:52

          You mean for Huawei? Xiaomi don't operate in Australia so they would have never been a consideration for the government. Even more so when Xiaomi have no enterprise offerings.

        • open4highway on 25/10/2018 - 12:56
          +3

          No governments try to use cheaper products. Even larger offices don't use them. It is for the mass population for a reason. You can't expect the same security level from a Cisco and a Xiaomi router.

    • rogerm22 on 25/10/2018 - 23:42

      Their devices are so cheap because they limit their profit to a maximum of 5%. If you choose to believe otherwise, that's up to you, but I'll keep using this and other Xiaomi products.

  • cyrax83 on 25/10/2018 - 12:30

    I hear you need to have an account to use this, setup is confusing and often defaults back to china server in the setup. I wouldn't be surprised if China is harvesting data… Just sayin.

    • Jamesx on 25/10/2018 - 12:32

      who isn't?

  • Tuffstuff80 on 25/10/2018 - 12:47

    I bought one of these and I found my router kept dropping off and had to constantly repower/reboot my router.

    • open4highway on 25/10/2018 - 12:50

      Weird. Which router did you use?

      • Tuffstuff80 on 25/10/2018 - 16:44

        Telstra cable internet router. Not 100% sure if the drop outs were due to the amplifier but definitely dropped out less when I took out the amplifier

  • Hamlet on 25/10/2018 - 12:57

  • chobani4lyf on 25/10/2018 - 13:09

    I purchased one of these a while back, and it does great for what my purposes. My bedroom doesn't get the best signal nor speed and often drops off, with one of these plugged in between my bedroom and modem I have considerably better speeds and reliable connection.

  • annimali8559499 on 25/10/2018 - 13:15

    Do these work with 5g connection?

    • fatty on 25/10/2018 - 13:21

      No these are 2.4Ghz only, not 5Ghz.

  • guidedlight on 25/10/2018 - 13:26

    These do work, they aren’t magic because they sacrifice total wifi throughput to achieve higher range.

    This isn’t normally a problem because in most households, as wifi throughput is normally much higher than internet throughput.

    Also if you have lots of wifi networks in your area, these may all of these may be impacted too.

    Bottom line is, if your wifi throughput is already marginal, this will make it worse. This isn’t normally an issue in Australia because we mostly live far apart.

    I bought one of these last time and it never worked for me. Couldn't be bothered returning it as it was so cheap. It now sits in a drawer.
