I bought a BrosTrend Wifi AC Adapter a while back. It was easy to install and has worked flawlessly since I got it. For that reason, I thought I'd give their wifi extender a chance. The product arrived on time. Unfortunately for me, my router doesn't have a WPS button so I had to set up the extender the old-fashioned way. (Otherwise it probably would have taken only a few seconds using the WPS button.) The most difficult part of the set up was trying to find/locate my network password. Otherwise, it was straightforward. No issues connecting to the extender, scanning networks, or getting access.Feb. 7th, 2021: Hi, everybody, I thought I'd provide an update in the midst of a pandemic. The extender has been constantly plugged in since my original review and is still working flawlessly. I haven't checked on it at all, it just works. Since there's a pandemic, my mother has participated in a lot of video conferences since all of her kids, grandkids, and other family want to keep a safe distance away from her. She uses the Facebook Portal for the video conferences and the extender has kept the wifi signal going strong. Every time I'm on a call with her, I think it's pretty amazing that she doesn't experience any issues. My daughter is complaining that she's experiencing wifi connectivity issues in our own home (she's upstairs and the router is in the basement). I may have to buy another one of these routers to address the issue. The price of the extender has gone up considerably but I guess you get what you pay for. This device works.I live in a duplex. My mother lives on the other side. I've always wanted to extend my wifi signal over to her side. I plugged the extender into at least 4 or 5 different outlets and always got the red light indicating the extender is too far away from the router. I moved the extender back to the closest outlet and tried connecting to my network. The signal was, at best, medium strength. I had no problems connecting to the network. I also had no problems accessing a variety of web sites. Response was amazingly fast, as if I was at home in my side of the duplex. I tried different rooms in my mother's side and only had one brief disconnect. No big deal considering the extender is supposedly too far away from the router.One caveat - I've only had the extender for about 24 hours so there's always the possibility my review may change. But if the extender is anything like the adapter I bought, I think it will be fine.

This BrosTrend product solved all of our problems, economically, reliably and simply. We truly had no clue whether we were going to be able to extend our wifi coverage in our 150 year old farm house. Post and beam construction coupled with lath & plaster walls and ceilings and 2 1/2” solid wood floors had most of our children doubting we would be able eliminate our wifi dead zones.But, we did our homework online, learned as much as we were able comprehend and ordered our BrosTrend 1200 booster/extender and it has solved all of our past problems. Now we can even stream great quality video in the corner of the second floor, furthest from our base router. A router, we must add that because of lazy, unimaginative installers, is located ‘behind’ an 8’ wide, floor to ceiling, solid brick, fireplace and chimney that, couple with an exterior bump-out, spans two thirds of the room.Needless to say, rural wifi is hardly comparable to urban wifi, but a change in tech from previous landline and then sat solutions vastly improved our quality of wifi (and quality of life). Coupled with this recent purchase of our Booster/Repeater we have been able to eliminate our monthly satellite expenses and stream all of our entertainment and news, at dramatically lower monthly costs. I digress.One of the major concerns held by our children was our “technologically challenged” status. Did we mention we are both 70+? Now, we do strongly suggest BrosTrend invest a little in improving their minimalist, written instructions. But, that said, there is a great company sponsored YouTube video, that we discovered, after the fact of course, that will handily walk just about anyone through the process of getting you operational quickly and easily. We did manage to get everything up and running in about fifteen minutes time. Most of that time was spent teaching each of our devices the password for the ‘new’ wifi network we were asking them to connect with.Sorry we have rambled on so long, but when a good thing comes along, it is nice to be able to share ‘good news’ these days.

BrosTrend AC1200 WiFi Booster Range ExtenderThere have always been areas in my house where the Wi-Fi coverage is poor, it’s not a big house but for some reason, the Virgin Media hub doesn’t have enough signal strength for those areas. I have tried a couple of signal boosters before but they didn’t give a complete solution to the problem.I noticed that the BrosTrend WiFi Booster supported both 2.4 and 5GHz signals as well as 1200Mbps at a very reasonable price so I thought I would see if it could provide a solution to my problems.To begin with, the BrosTrend WiFi Booster has a very easy to follow video setup guide online as well as good printed instructions, I followed the video purely because it was easier. The video explains exactly what to do and the reasons for doing it, which make a pleasant change these days. I had the unit up and running within minutes of unboxing it and I found an ideal location to install it.I must admit that I wasn’t expecting miracles, I was just hoping for some improvement. However, I was very pleasantly surprised, after re-connecting some of the devices to the BrosTrend WiFi Booster everything now works and works very well. I have surveillance cameras in various places, previously the reception was patchy, at best and sometimes non-existent. Now I can get a solid, strong signal immediately from anywhere in the house.I am not just happy, I am over the moon with the BrosTrend WiFi Booster. Would I recommend it? Most definitely!

Fácil de configurar y bastante útil el uso del cable ethernet en mi caso a Sido bastante útil lo hace más versátil y práctico dando una buena calidad en la señal

This is an honest review of this product. It did not increase my internet megabits. My numbers stayed the same. My opinion about this device: If you have devices that are FAR from your router, have this product plugged in close to proximity to where those devices are located. This product extends your Wi-Fi. I have Wi-Fi cams outdoors. My router is far from those cams. I have this product plugged in rather close to my cams. I noticed a big difference when I wanted go make my cams talk to my phone. So yes, this product works. Also to let you know, you have the option to sign into this products own Wi-Fi. You will have two different Wi-Fi networks as soon as you plug this product in. Just imagine you being able to stretch your Wi-Fi signal farther on your property or in your house. It's that simple. I would recommend buying this if you have a situation like mine. I hope this review helps you.***UPDATE*** It has been a few weeks since the first review. I regret buying it. It does not stay connected. If you buy this, be ready to start seeing a red flashing light on the unit. That means the extender is too far away from your router. So move it closer to see if the red light goes away. It will stay blue for a few days making you think the problem is fixed but when you least expect it, it goes red. Gets pretty annoying when I am at work and cannot check my Wi-Fi cams at home to see what is going on. You get what you pay for I guess. Maybe if we spend more money and buy a stronger extender but this one is a wimp and needs to be close to your router so what's the point?

einwandfrei, keinerlei Probleme, Installation war einfach

In the box you get the WiFi extender and a CAT5 cable and an instructions pamphlet. The extender looks like many other extender brands that plug into a 3 pin UK socket. It has 2 antennae, one on each side of the device, and these can be angled vertically only. Some other brands allow movement across the vertical and horizontal axis making the antennae multi directional.To set up the device, you initially need to place it in proximity to your router, so it can be identified and connected to. From there the configuration is fairly straight forward.The device offers 2 extended WiFi connections ( You still keep your existing one) a 5Ghz connection and a 2.4Ghz connection. You can keep the same WiFi password across all connections or create separate ones, if you prefer.Once the device is configured to your preference, it is a question of placing it in an optimum position to receive from your router and transmit to your intended device/s. The way these devices work to solve the problem of getting connectivity to hard to reach places is by providing a stepping stone. By doing this they need to split the bandwidth between each hop. There are lights on the device to indicate that it is receiving a good signal and that it is transmitting to connected devices. There is also a RJ45 port to cable to a receiving device.Everyone has their own set up , so I can only talk from my own circumstance.I have a virgin hub 3.0 on the ground floor and I get about 250mbps standing next to it. I'm in a 1930s terrace house, with a loft conversion. It is in the loft I need the WiFi extender. Up there I have a desktop PC with a BrosTrend 1200Mbps Long Range USB WiFi Dongle Adapter connected to my network interface card. Most of the time that connects to the router directly ok, and I prefer that.When I try the WiFi extender on 5Ghz , the signal is stronger but every so often it lost the connection, and when I run a diagnostics it tell me there is no gateway. So I prefer not to use it for my PC.I do need it however for my printer, as that only supports 2.4Ghz, and it cannot connect directly to the router over that distance. Connectivity with the WiFi extender is solid, and I have not had that irritating situation where you lose connection whilst printing a full colour photo.Given that this is the set up I want to use, I hoped I would be able to use the WiFi extender in 2.4Ghz mode only. I could not see how to do that, so i contacted tech support. I was dealt with quickly, but I did not get an exact answer. The reply I got was I could hide the 5Ghz connection , which is not the same thing.There are other brands that let you do that.Another configuration limitation was setting your device up so that the hop from your router to WiFi extender is 5Ghz and from WiFi extender to device in 2.4Ghz, which some other brands also allow.So in conclusion, reasonable solid device for basic connectivity extension, but with no extra configuration options.
