Urant Wifi Repeater Review and Setup Tutorial

[@Gregarious78999]

i purchased that thing and despite being advertised as wifi repeater it is also advertised as wifi booster and the latter is the main reason for why people order this device in the first place. Apart from a nice design and blipping color lights it brings your bandwith speed literally to a screeching halt doing exactly the opposite any booster is supposed to do. Thanks for a useful tutorial.

[@christisrisen6774]

I have the exact same model it arrived today and I was Dumbfounded because it actually works. And the set up was super easy. I actually thought the set up was going to be very complicated but it wasnt. My wifi icon is at full range and stable I can't believe it.

[@grannysvids]

Mine just arrived this morning, very quick delivery. Easy to connect to the router. Connected it up stairs in the kids room and used it on the playstation and now my son gets very fast connection and all works great.

[@GaugingGadgets]

If you're disappointed by the loss of bandwidth with this product, I recommend the TP-Link AV600 Powerline WiFi Extender. I use it in my home and it works great! Check out my review here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmLKc4yImbeYiMU

[@laineywright2696]

I'm glad I watched your video. This will save me some money. I don't need to lose bandwidth.

Wifi repeater is awesome i gone from 65meg to 17meg speed well worth the money.

[@davidnoriega1642]

Well, I don't know if by now everybody knows the answer but I think I have it. The speed on both the modem and repeater drops down because they are broadcasting in the same channel so they interfere each other. If you can change it without losing the connection that would improve everything.

[@marjorieguerra2162]

I so appreciate this! I changed my WiFi and had no idea how to fix the repeater. This helped immensely!! Thank you 😊

[@nolongerused8130]

This idea isn't optimal for most people, but if you were to take an Ethernet cable from the router to the repeater, then you would probably improve the bandwidth coming from it a really good amount.

[@DownhillAllTheWay]

If you were to take an ethernet cable from the router to your PC, you would boost your bandwidth even more - but the reason for a wireless extender is that it's *_wireless._*

[@amanofculture2991]

good luck plugging a utp into a phone, nerd

[@226novoselic]

You definitely talked me out of buying one of these. Losing 80% of my bandwidth?? I'm confused.

[@johngritter1040]

Thank you. I am a tech noob and I found this was very helpful.

[@davidjohannson4364]

Thanks alot for your video. i had a repeater for some time but couldnt get it connected! I had found the manual to not be much help. With some trioal and error you got me through it!! Keep up the good video. I found when I put it halfway between my router and PC I had better speed

[@buddyboy4x44]

These are really cheap and, essentially, you get what you pay for. I use two in my house to reach distant points and the outside patio. Yes, it degrades the speed but I have high speed to start with. I find the resulting slower speed is good enough even for videos. So, for a very small outlay I get usable wifi where I had none before. Calling them fake extenders is silly. They work well but not as good as much more expensive ones.

[@ivyyeo3383]

Thank you for your simple instructions , I had a repeater for the longest time and didn't know how to install it now it works perfectly.

Can be purchased on eBay these days for about USD $10 including shipping. Realistically speaking you can't expect much for that price. This unit is probably suited for an apartment and that's about it. And not an apartment with brick or concrete walls inside. Just wood and drywall like in North America.

[@pelotasdad]

really? which part of north america doesn't have bricks or concrete for apt buildings? i am sure your answer will be truly fascinating.

[@GarryGyounker]

You are able to rotate the plug prongs so the device lays horizontal and it DOES NOT block the other outlet

[@tonyguerrier2258]

What good is a repeater if it knocks the signal down 70% ? The whole idea is to put it into a place where there is a weak signal to "boost" the signal. Anyway, I read the directions, followed it step-by-step (which is exactly like your video...good job BTW) and as soon as I connect it to my wi-fi in the house is goes dark...nothing works. POS if ya ask me.

[@johno4521]

You're confusing connection speed and signal strength, 2 different things.

How?

[@DownhillAllTheWay]

I have been using one of these for a couple of years, but the router has just been changed, and the repeater is still giving me the old router name. I don'tknow how to make it recognise the new one. I have pushed all the buttons, and there's not much else to do, so I guess I have to connect it with an ethernet cable and see if that makes it reset the router name.

do you lose speed even if you use a ethernet cable direct to a device?

When you say yes it works are you sure the design of this just fools the speed test meter? and just shows a higher reading, you need to walk away from the house measure it's range, then connect the device and see if the range is any further then you will know if it's a scam or not "rock on"( remember there are some very smart electronic engineers out there)

[@MrJimbotz]

I have ordered this because of an internet advertisement saying that it will speed up my slow internet, allowing for better use of Netflix and other streaming. From what am watching and reading, in no way is this going to happen, therefore it is just another cheap wireless extender.

[@exponentmantissa5598]

Here is the problem with range extenders. When you cannot connect to a Wfi access point it is because the signal is too weak and cannot be detected against the background noise. The repeater is just an amplifier. You must be careful if where you put the repeater. If you locate it near your access point you will get zero improvment. Yes it may seem like you have more range but that is not the case. Here is why. Imagine a stadium full of cheering people and I am five feet away. You can hear me fine. Now suppose I go 50 feet away. Now you cant hear me but if you use a megaphone (repeater) I can hear you. Now no matter how much you amplify the received sound in the area you will not hear me because I am drowned out by the background noise. This device does nothing to improve speed and may in fact degrade performance as it is another device in the chain
