This was one of the best vids out there. The Kid got to the point and even gave us a walk about to see how well it worked. Nice job.

[@MrLittlecat123]

damn! the only video that actually answer my question... A lot of video just telling you that the speed is slow,, not worth it... I dont mind the speed, I just want to see if the hard to connection room could have good enough speed to watch freaking 480p youtube. That is all I want! Thanks a lot my friend.

I'm glad my video gave you some insite

[@justinengstrom6701]

Great video! I like the side by side comparisons. Thanks for making this vid, it really helped me out.

[@yurka23]

No problem :)

[@jamesdumontier7857]

You tested it wrong, as your test are showing that through the wifi extension it is slower speed, this would be expected thou as it is another device to go through. I was hoping that you would have showed us a area that has very poor connection, and if this device fixed it. Send like you don't understand what the device is for????

[@dwilliams2068]

Small correction, if not already noted in comments. Venders use a small "b" in their specifications meaning Megabits, not Megabytes. That means the true speed is about 10 times slower than generally assumed. Not a big deal but important to know. One Byte is 8 bts but there may be 2 bits added in a transmission system so 10 is probably the best practical ratio.

[@aorusaki]

Yes

[@perrypelican9476]

It's worth buying if you can set it up somewhere with a good connection to the router and to where you want the signal. Some people put it in the same room as the bad connection which does nothing. You have to set it up between the router and the bad spot in the house. You might have to try different outlets.

[@tjbay13]

You know the hard core Tech Geeks that review these devices all say they suck. But most of us are not Tech Geeks and all we really want to see is if the darn signal gets boosted where it's supposed to. Funny how a lot of them don't even test it. They just give you a bunch of tech jargon and tell you why not to buy it. Thanks for plugging it in and showing the results. That's all most of us care about. I'm sure there are a lot of variables that affect how these things work. May not do the job for everyone depending on their setup. It's worth a shot if you're experiencing problems with gaming and streaming in certain areas of you are home.

[@vikirebic2562]

Yuri, thing is that direct connection to router can be faster from any part of house but it isnt actually what you recive due to package loss wich is detected only after you recive package by CRC checksum or whatever error checking mechanism is used. Repeater has better antenna than smartphone and filters lost/damaged packages so you recive "cleaner" signal from it. Eaven if you view this logically, your smartphone cant have better send/recive speeds to router than repeater due to repeaters antennas, so why does repeater steal that extra speed? it doesnt, it just filters it hence better performance with repeater if it is midway from you and router. better performance in aspect of lower latency and jitter or package loss. due to this package loss, wifi never provide full speed you see in speedtest. all in all it depends to wich AP you are closer, router or extender, you should connect to one with better signal provided that repeater has great signal to router

[@NicholasCoulter]

I bought this extender for when I was down at my grandparents caravan and it worked a treat, before I was getting 1 mbps and it would drop out like crazy but then after I was getting up to 5 mbps which is the maximum speed I could get anywhere on site. Even my grandparents noticed a big difference as before if they were watching something it would buffer a lot and was limited to standard definition, with the extender it didn’t buffer at all and they could stream in high definition. The only time it seemed to struggle was when the weather was bad, I think it was because the extender had quite a distance to the nearest WiFi point and the weather was causing interference. In conclusion I would defined recommend this device especially since I picked it up for only £15 ($19)

[@RedAgainstMachine]

Mine works amazingly. Ps4 network test shows a difference like night and day.

[@yurka23]

RAM are you using the same extender or are you using something else?

[@RedAgainstMachine]

Yuriy Grishchuk Different. I can't find the model name on it, or the box. But it looks between AC-1900 and AC-2200.

[@MCorrigan]

I've got one of these and I can confirm they are brilliant. I'm getting well over 100mbps download speeds.

[@eagleviewhd]

I had a Tenda FH303 WiFi router that I had tried a few times to get working with my Google Fiber but never had any luck. I tried once more a couple days ago, and I do not know what I did, but it is working as an extender. My upstairs bedrooms had poor WIFI service, but now I can use my wIFI IPad up there now!

[@daimientaylor3108]

NEVER use a REPEATER if you care about Bandwidth, if you have a deadspot in your house and you just want internet access then a Repeater is great; otherwise You do better buying a Client Bridge and another Router and connecting the client bridge to the Main router and use the Ethernet cable to go from the bridge to the 2nd Router, that way you have Full Bandwidth and you are on the same network as the main router. Wireless Repeaters Work but they cut your bandwidth in half because all of the data has to go through a processor and a radio chip in that repeater running 4 functions. The Repeater has to process Upstream and Downstream traffic of data from the Router and also the Upstream and Downstream data of the Clients connected to the Repeater which eliminates Bandwidth by half, practically you have a bottleneck.

[@loucypherdamorningstar]

Daimien Taylor Thanks for the information

[@smartunnel]

If main router have 2 frequencies (2.4 @ 50mbps and 5GHz @ 100mbps), wouldn't extender receive using the 2.4 and broadcast it at 5GHz?

[@xxkarlosxxxxxx7233]

Oh that's ok ... I have 100mpbs so having 50mbps won't make a difference but I'll get signal in the backyard where the signal cuts rite on the door which I find ironic... even if I got 30mbps that's actually not bad... c'mon I had 1.5mbps for years and it was so bad I couldn't even watch 480P... it was the worst and I'm glad we have Comcast now... in 2020 we'll be switching to gigabit wifi

[@jeanlafitte268]

Cool video. I just bought an old-school (no external antennas) Belkin N300 at Wal-Mart for $14 and was wondering "Hey, did I just get porked by Wal-Mart again?" You showed in a very understandable manner how to check actual bandwidth with and without extender coverage. MY laptop doesn't usually have issues, my wife's does, so we need every edge in coverage possible. Probably at some point, a better extender....

[@MrKaycleans4u]

I'm thinking about buying a extender I own a mobile home I have xfinity Comcast Internet pre paid threw Boost mobile it works great in my bedroom that's where I have the box set up but the signal does not reach my living room my mobile home is 68 feet long I'm wondering if the extender would connec tf my smart tv in the living room. Or if I put the xfinity box in the living room would the connector reach my roku in my bedroom.

[@boostedmedia1205]

Aha i just use mine in my room and connect an ethernet from the extender to my pc to get maximal speed. It works!

THANK YOU for a short and sweet review not filled with tons of garbage for ad revenue

[@yurka23]

[@johnnybwrlr983]

Yuiry The problem with extenders is they repeat the signal and degrad it. My original modem was an heiress that had 300 megabit per second throughput. My router was a Netgear ac1750. I used a Netgear dual Channel extender to reach the rest of the house. I was experiencing speeds at the modem of about 85 megabits per second even though I purchased 100 megabits per second. I was experiencing speeds on the router depending on frequency and everything of 20 to 60 megabits per second. After my extender I was experiencing speeds of 1 to 10 megabits per second. I just replaced my modem and router with a Netgear Nighthawk unit. It's an 8 channel bonded unit with both 5 gigahertz and 2.4 gigahertz bands. I kept my same extender and did some testing. Since the modem and router are connected together in one unit I tested the speed at my computer plug directly into the unit. My speed was 120 to 130 megabits per second. On Wifi from the main router I was experiencing of speeds from about 82100 megabits per second. Checking on the other side of my Netgear extender I'm seeing speeds of 20 to 50 megabytes per second. Putting the Netgear Nighthawk in place and being a dual function unit, modem and high-speed router, I have more than doubled my performance and I'm getting what I should be getting out of the connection. For now I am very satisfied with my solution.

[@scotiajinker8392]

I found my tp link extender slowed or stopped the internet. I’ve now got the tp link home mesh m4 system & it works brilliantly.

[@yurka23]

That''s good. Slow internet is so frustrating.

[@psdaengr911]

What isn't clear is whether the extender is in a fixedposition or if you are moving it arounf. An extender/re[eater is ntenmded to be positioned to extend the area of coverage beyond whast is reliable with just the primary AP. If the repeater is not within the boundary of the primary AP coverage, contary to what most advertising implies, it will NOT provide extended area with reliability or signal strength comparable to that of the good coverage of the primary coverage. If well positioned, you can extend coverage area by about 60% to areas where the primary access point is not usable, with transmission speeds of 75-85 of what the primary AP can provide, becasue the APs are cascaded. For best extension of coverage, if the repeater has an AP mode, use it. Whether connected by wifi or ethernet to the WAN router, changing the repeater AP to a different channel will reduce interference, is improved and throughput. This also gives you the option to add 5GHz operation to a system which formerly had only 2.4GHz.

[@timschmidt33]

Great video man. I bought a 20 dollar amake WiFi extender off Amazon after watching this video & I couldn't be more satisfied with it. I bought it so we could get stable internet on the carport & pool area we were only getting about 2 Mbps outside now we are getting 26 Mbps. I have to say the extender has been a God send in our situation & for 20 bucks u can't go wrong.

[@yurka23]

I'm really glad everything worked out for you :)

[@victordiaz6462]

Question, If I am connected to the main router and I move to an area where I have the extension, will have to disconnect my smart phone from the main router and connect it to the extended.? If every time I move around the house and I have to be connecting and disconnecting, really, that is not very helpful. What makes sense to me is that the extension repeats the signal of the main router and the equipment around the house recognizes a single signal.

[@yurka23]

victor diaz I think you have to switch wifis every time you move.

[@jacksonbermingham2168]

at that distance u should have to set to 5gh with wps i have no idea whats going on plus there are router functions but in the end is not that bad when u extend stuff more interference so its always going to be slower but minimizing the loss is the main issue

can you hook more than one up and link them a 1000ft across a field?

[@eGazTheFirstAustralian]

The point is, how far away have you placed the extender from the main router. If your extender is in close proximity good results are expected. But where did you place the extender in distance, after all extenders are required for distance?. This is why they're called 'wifi extender'. Other than the master bedroom, you're testing in all the places you seem to be able to obtain a quality connection without an extender. What's the point in that? Other than the missed required info, good video, clear and you speak well.

Since our router is on the first floor and my pc on the second, instead of drilling holes for lan cable we bought a repeater and connected it via lan to my pc and it works miles better than using wifi to connect directly to the router

Can you connect it through LAN cable, I have really bad WiFi like 15mgbs and the house is only able to hold on to 10😑, but if I was able to use the extender and put in my room would I be able to connect my computer to the extender with a cable??

[@soulsolus6414]

hey is this product still working for you or did it break after awhile?

[@01_Rogue]

It really depends on how close you are to the wifi box and extender if your farther away from the wifi box the extender will win but as you get closer to the wifi box the better the internet on the actual wifi box and the extender will lose and have less connection so overall it will have better connection in some parts of the house and worse connection in other areas

[@macster1457]

the best repeaters are the powerline repeaters.. that way, you get the full speed coming from the house wiring to wherever the repeater is pluged on the other side of the house.

[@dvac48]

Is there an Ethernet connection to plug into an android box etc?

[@ComedyNol]

Thats not true that if you pay for 10 u will only get 2. It depends on you main router and its speed. say it normally gets 8mbps down because of your location, then putting the extender may keep the speed but just a little slower as its job is to take a connection and repeat it

[@cardanor4400]

I have a smart tv in my bedroom but the signal it gets from the router is low. I am thinking of buying a extender, but also I am tempted to try to wire the tv running a ethernet cable from the router to the tv. I think that is the best solution but it's less practical as you don't want to see cables running all around your house. Installing an extender is more practical but less good for your health...

Also I cannot access the extender setting via DAP1330 network although I can access extender settings when I connect to my router wifi directly, which makes no sense at all. Can you clarify what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

[@oaba09]

I generally dont recomment extenders because it cuts your speed in half(it broadcasts on the same channel as your main router). The only time I would recommend it is if a wired access point is not possible....I would even recommend a power line wifi over a range extender..

[@ryuhosuke]

It’s hard to measure if it works. I bought one of those and now it’s acting weird on me. I have to manual change the settings

Its great you have a side by side comparison of the speeds but it doesnt matter unless you show the distance from the extender and your main wifi to the place you're testing it.

I wonder if you could daisy-chain multiple wifi extenders. Link one to the other and so on. Say for example I need to extend it across 10 acres. just a thought.

Do you think this extender will help me get connection in the shed? thanks.

[@yurka23]

What do you do in the shed;P haha just kidding. But I walked outside and i was getting a decent connection 20-30 feet outside my house. I would say... try it. once you install the extender you might have to connect to "YourWifiName_EXT" to control the ac though

you should have noted how far each room you were in was from the router. everyone i see in the comments saying this is a good video. and it is but without knowing how far you are from the router with the extender its hard to determine weather its worth getting one. also do these work with using by having your router>ethernet>wifi extender to have a even boosted wifi from the extender? or can you get one that works that way? m wondering as where my router is there is many layers (brick and floorbords) that my current wifi has to pass through and i currently have a ethernet cable i use but would also like a decent wifi connection aswell.

[@VinceM797]

Any difference if you ran a cable that extender (assuming it's reasonable tondo so)? Another vid said connecting an extender wirelessly reduces bandwidth. Clearly there are pros and cons but just curious how different if at all.

[@JoshDub78]

If you plug directly into your modem you will get your 60Mbps. When you connect wireless it reduces by about half to 30Mbps. The point of the extender is not to boost your wireless speed from 30 to 60, but to extend the 30Mpbs to areas that are getting 5Mbps or 1Mbps, etc. It boosts the wireless signal to get that wireless speed farther away from the main wireless router. Again it extends the speed, not boost what is coming in to you house. And again, you only get 60Mbps if you plug directly in to the modem via Ethernet Cable. As soon as you connect via wireless router it drops to almost half. The extender takes that half and extends it. As seen in your Master Bathroom.

[@timothythomas1345]

[@baatar]

Have you tried connecting an Ethernet cable into the extender for a computer that doesn't have WiFi hardware? For the most part, it does bring much needed connection to my computer, but just today while I was downloading Fortnite, the connection would fail, despite the extender showing all green and being connected to the computer with an actual cable. I'm just wondering if you or anyone else has had this issue as well...

[@enufots4621]

I don't know what Fortnite is or how big the download is for it, but in general although you have a wired connection from your computer to the extender...the connection from your extender is still wifi (over the air) to the main router. What this means is that data sent from your computer (or vice versa) has to go from your wired connection to the extender and then over the air (wifi) to the router to the Fortnite server and back. Wifi is never as reliable as a wired connection, too many things can interfere with the signal going over the air and therefore there is plenty of overhead of retransmission due to dropped data packets (dropped packets are transparent to you) but the equipment has to retransmit all the time and your download/upload may fail. That green LED won't account for it.

[@malachimoser5741]

I just use the Netgear Nighthawk ac1900 R7000 and it solved all my issues with connection. If you have a really solid router you won't need to buy these to correct issues your cheaper router can't handle. Router is going on 4 years old and still working like it was brand new as well

Gwen Merritt at 60 feet I had an okay connection and then at 70 it was really bad.

I don't know how much it costs for a new line but it seems cheaper to try the extender first

[@yurka23]

Gwen Merritt thank you for the blessings xD I have an exam tomorrow! You have to put the extender closer to the middle/outer "edge" of your wifi. so I would probably try putting the extender inside the home wall that is closest to the shop. Because if you put the extender IN your shop it might have nothing to extend because it won't reach the router signal. (I would try both ways and see what works best)

[@whispernthedark4]

gotcha ...when it comes in I will watch your video to make sure I do it right ...hope your exams went well, have a wonderful day :)

They told me that if I wanted the extender to use the same network name I would have to get the Mesh extender. It helped here. My router is on one corner of the house and it didn't really reach to the other corner. If it was in the middle of the house I wouldn't need an extender.

[@craiggilchrist4223]

Dont get Mbps confused with MBps If it in lowercase its Megabits Per Second if its in capitals then its Megabytes Per Second. So 100mbps would be 10 Megabytes Per Second and so on. Just move the decimal point one to the left should give approx conversion from Mb to MB.

[@wizkid1]

Youre paying for 60 megs? Test on a wired pc to the modem you should get it then. Wireless may tend to show slower rates. Also depends on time of day and network traffic. But glad to see the extender works well. Most of the time people lose quite a bit of speed on an extender.

[@Zanewv]

As far as speed, you need to contact your internet provider if they gave you the modem, and upgrade to a newer model, old internet boxes are slow

how did you rename the wifi extender and how do I put password or does it have the same password as my original wifi? Thanks.

[@Erin-Thor]

You might want to explain how to use your phones WiFi strength indicator to determine the range of your original WiFi, so you can put the WiFi extender in the optimum location.

Does it work with all routers ? I have xfinity

[@nehuge]

So Yuriy, when you wander around the property and get closer to the main wifi than the extender, does the device know to connect to the main wifi again? In other words, do you connect to both initially and hit 'connect automatically' so when it gets to the other one the device will switch to it?

[@chrisf5475]

I don’t like the idea of extenders that are essentially a separate network... as most devices are mobile now it would be a pain to select the extender when you go into that area. You would obviously want to use the main network if you are close to the router. There are other devices that simply extend the signal rather than creating another network.

[@jamesfei6175]

Can i set up a private password just for the extender? Like only authorized people can connect the extender.

[@yurka23]

I don't think so

[@jamesfei6175]

@@yurka23 Got it Thank you

What can I do if my WPS button doesn't work on my modem/router?

[@yurka23]

Corey Dorsey try holding it down. If it doesn't work then probably refund it.

[@blaqueknight]

Yuriy Grishchuk Thanks. Great tip. I didn't hold it down long enough the first time I tried it. It works!

Speed is more than the normal router or the speed is same

[@mrmotofy]

A Ubiquiti Access Point is gonna give a better signal over all. Many newer houses have Cat5e in the walls to a phone jack. Which can be rewired to connect back to a switch which is also connected to the router.

How do I create a user name and password for the wifi range extender

[@yurka23]

you shouldnt need a username and password, the name will be your wifi name with EXT at the end. and the password should be the same as your original wifi

[@floaley128]

I have an almond router as my main router... If I get another almond router and use it as a range extender for my room in the back of my house that normally gets 2 bars, will it help with bringing up the speed because I'm tryna play xbox

[@yurka23]

CreamOn supreme I heard that using a second router is really effective so you can give it a try

[@jaghies4769]

Does it work for a NETGEAR modem? I have a NETGEAR modem but a Apple Router. Please help. Thanks.

[@mightymilful]

Does anyone know the song playing in the background of Yuriy's video???

[@paulsiangg456]

The issue with using your phone as a speedtest is that depending on the phone. Your speeds may be throttle due to the speed limitations of the device.

[@yurka23]

You're right! I didn't think about that.

[@johnobody]

Late to the party but this video helped me the way it was presented by showing the placement of the extender and moving around the house,good job young fella 👍

[@yurka23]

Glad you liked it! The party is never over :)

[@alexanderramosn1428]

so if I put this in my room for example will my WiFi be better in my room while the main WiFi is in the living room and will it be faster?

[@yurka23]

You want to put it between your room and the living room. Because what this extender does is it gets information from your main wifi and shoots the same information out further so you still want it to have a good signal with your main wifi. Does that make sense?

[@crankyboiy]

For the extenders with ethernet plug ins, do they get work just like pluging in a device to the main router that reach maximum speed?
