Thanks for performing this practical test. I'm looking for a repeater that will do exactly what you attempted, and I appreciate knowing that the AC600 isn't the solution. I might get one to try mounting in my garage, which is connected to my main router via a wifi bridge, to see if a LAN connection will provide better coverage for the camera at the end of my driveway.
I would guess that having a direct connection to the router would give you greater speeds than wireless connection like had.
I found your review searching for this brand/model. Interesting results. I was wondering about the antenna direction issue like others. Even if it is a "user error" issue, I'm glad to see that it was indeed an Honest Review. Please test again and report back in the description as well as possibly a quick reply here. Thank you.
Glad you liked the video and found it helpful. I appreciate the request for a reinstall to see if upright makes any difference
I am not exactly sure on this but I think the repeater is just as it says a repeater. It is boosting and repeating the signal from the other two routers. Seems to me it is working pretty good. I don't think you can get speeds from that distance like that without a repeater.
My speeds were coming from the routers not the repeater... The repeater was giving me minimal speeds
What router are you using? I have starlink in my house to and they router is sh....
did I hear you say, you were going to lay the wavelink on the roof of the chicken coop? laying it down (assuming horizontally) and mounting it vertically will make a huge difference.
I did lay it down... I didn't think down vs mount would make a difference.
Thanks for the info. I'll have to try it mounted and see what happens
@@skinners100honestreviews3 The omni directional antennas are typically like a donut horizontally rather than like a ball. I would be very interested in the results if you re-mount the antenna vertically (as designed)
@@MikeM0XMX I've had others say the same thing about the mount...vertical rather lying down
@skinners100honestreviews3 hi. That is because it is true. As a WiFi specialty and radio ham, I can absolutely tell you you will see 100000x improvement. Please try it and update. I have ordered one 20 mins ago for my RV.
@@MikeM0XMX I'm looking to get one to boost signal from one RV on a property to mine. We aren't that far apart, but the internet provider has a crappy little internal antenna in their access point and signal has to pass through the walls of two vehicles and a bunch of bushes. I can get decent speed and ping time. But it is totally unreliable. Will drop out for minutes at a time. The price is right on this model. If it will work. Can you report back here in case @skinners100honestreviews3 doesn't?
Awesome video! I have starlink as well I'm looking to send the wifi further to my garage from the house I was gonna buy this wavlink extender but seems the starlink did much better for your test? So waste of my $ ?
Someone else commented yesterday that they wired the wavlink and had great success. He did mention that at 30yrd this was "rubbish" as a repeater... But wired it was good.
@skinners100honestreviews3 thanks for your reply!
I'm looking for a stronger signal distance wise then starlink
@@mattandkatchristie2552 I'm supposed to have an upgraded Wavlink next week. Keep an eye out for a new video
@@skinners100honestreviews3 perfect! Ty
Run a cable to the router, using it as repeater reduces the range and strength of wifi
what router are you using in the house?
Starlink
What might help is if you do not lay it down And also height is gold
I'll have to give that a try for sure! Thanks
2 questions - Did you test the wavlink signal from say 20 - 30 yards? How long is the cable that comes with the kit? My house router signal drops out only about 10 yards from my garden chalet so I only need to extent my signal a short distance. - thanks...
I did not try a 20-30yrd test. I would assume the signal would be pretty good but I cannot confirm that as I only tested for distance in this review.
The LAN cable from router to extender was about 6ft or less
@@skinners100honestreviews3 Very helpful, thanks! Now I've got to find one with a UK plug.
@@skinners100honestreviews3 I bought a Wavlink AC600, Even at short range it's rubbish as a "Repeater" but as an "Extender" with a cable from the main modem it's really good. I've connected mine with cable to my house modem and put the wavlink in the garden. The signal is very strong over a wide area. How did we live before youtube? hehe
Did the ac600 create the second wifi as a extender? Or it has the same wifi and work as a mesh system? Thank you.
I used it as an extender.
@skinners100honestreviews3 thank you.
There is a public Wi-Fi network 100 meters away from my house My phone cannot polarize it Can this device connect to it?
That would be pushing it... That is over 100yrd
Hello Sir.
Please what if I need an extender that can reach up to 3km.
Any advice?
I'm really not sure, that's quite a distance
Ubiquiti Lite beam
we need u 2 do another video, this time with the repeater vertically mounted on a pole taller than the barn with a direct line to the house router.
That would be a good test!
@@skinners100honestreviews3 a friend of mine is seriously considering buying one hope to see new vid soon
I need an antenna that reaches 1 square kilometer, works in all directions, and can withstand all obstacles, trees, etc.
I'm not sure this would be the best choice for your needs
What is your default router?
Starlink V2 (I think)
Did you know that having antennas laying flat is basically not catching any rf waves.
I did not know that, i assumed just being elevated 10ft would be good enough.
Thanks for helping out!
Cant a POE switch work?
I'm really not sure. I have a different wavlink access point on the way so I will be creating another video. Be on the lookout next week
@@skinners100honestreviews3 good
I tried for the life of me to set this Wi-Fi up on my computer, it just wouldn’t set up to our Dlink router
It can be tricky!
I'm late on my reply but have you got it working yet?
Waste of money. We installed it vertically on the 2nd floor wall with the bracket and didn’t see any benefit at all. Returning it tomorrow
Did you watch my video?
What kind of router are you using with the Starlink? Supplied or aftermarket? If it’s that good I might need to get one. I also use Starlink.
The one that comes with the installation package. I've had it a year and have been very satisfied with it.
Good test. I agree. This piece of equipment is junk.
I don't know if I would call it junk or if my equipment is just good???
Wi-Fi range how much meters?
