Product ReviewsWavlink AC1200 WiFi Extender

Worth it

It took a while and some stress to set up seeing how easy it's supposed to be to set up. I eventually reset it to factory settings and then it seemed easy to set up. It seemed to connect to my wifi instantly, but wouldn'tet me in. It kept saying I had the wrong password and wouldn't let me log it to it in the internet. When I reset it, it finally let me log into on the internet and set it up properly. After that it works awesomely and i highly recommend it. Do be careful to type things in 100% correct because there are scam sights mimicking their sight. I struggled with that also. Read full review...

Very short 300 meter range

The product advertises 300 meters range. I get 30 meters clear line of sight at best even after following the advice from the tech support team. In my case I only need to reach my garage which is about 20 meters from the source and for me that it is enough, so I will keep the unit.
I have had the unit for about a month and so far it is still working. It is fairly easy to setup and at a good price, but in my case, it doesn’t get close to the advertised 300 meter range.

Real Deal

This provides a super strong signal just as it describes. Xfinity’s latest WIFI router would not provide reliable signal strength to one of my upstairs bedroom. I plugged this device in downstairs on opposite end of home from WIFI router, and I now have 100% WIFI signal in my upstairs room directly over where I plugged this in downstairs. After further testing I found that my entire 2500 sq. ft home now has better coverage and signal strength vs. my new Xfinity WIFI router that is very weak in comparison to this device. I highly recommend this product.Read full review...

Worked for my purpose

Since I intended to use this product as a repeater, to amplify the signal from our Apple Airporter, it met my expectations. However, the range of the Extender is less than stated, so anyone thinking it'll cover their entire house will probably be disappointed.Read full review...

For what I paid for the extender, it was somewhat worth it.

It supplied some coverage, but not greatly.
I have my modem and router in the center of my 1900 SF house and the extender about 8 ft. away but I still can't go on my porch (about 15 feet) and get a signal.
I think the bigest problem is the ISP specifically.Read full review...

Easy setup. more than doubled the range of the WiFi signal

I needed something to boost my WiFi signal at our lake cabin. It is an old structure and has foil vapor barrier the outside walls. Needless to say little to no signal outside the cabin. I installed this booster in the basement so the signal from the base to the booster only had to go through the floorboards and joists. I could have installed the base in the basement, but that would have required drilling holes and running wires. The booster was installed in an outlet on the cinder block wall facing the lake. I set it up (very easy). walked to the end of the dock, about 300 feet through the cinder block wall,and 3 walls of a boathouse.from the booster. Had 3 bars on my phone. Whet into the boathouse living area and streamed my Roku. On the other side of the cabin about 200 feet away, through 4 walls is a garage with a suite of rooms above it. i was able to stream to that location as well.

As you can tell, I am well pleased with this inexpensive fix. I think the road to success with these boosters is location, location, location. experiment with where you place them.

Good Luck, Jerry Read full review...

I would recommend it for folks to get better signal.

I plugged it in and set my computer and it seems like I am getting a lot better of a signal and it makes my internet go faster.

Fantastic Product!

I am totally amazed at this product! We did a lot of research and found so many products in the market and so many different reviews that we decided to go for an inexpensive model first, just to see if they work.
This one provides a super strong signal just as it describes.Fio-Verizon 5G latest WIFI router would not provide reliable signal strength to our other rooms in the house (large home) Plugged this device in another room further away from our WIFI router, and I now have 100% WIFI signal in all of our rooms, upstairs, downstairs. After further testing found that our entire 3200 sq. ft home now has better coverage and signal strength vs. our Fios 5-G WIFI router and is very weak in comparison to this device. We highly recommend this product. Price-Quality is just outsdanding! Don't waste your money on expensive models until you try this one!
Small but packs a punch!Read full review...

Disappointment With Product

Simple to plug in, BUT saw no difference in getting better Wi-Fi or Internet!
