Hello. Please take a look at this list: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/...
Bt have sent you the One ones I have Wi-Fi extender 500 model and I plugged mine into extension socket and it works it very well
I still use mine, they work OK, a few drop outs sometimes, but I’ve got a TPLink Wi-fi signal booster now and that works better
Good to know everything sorted out , BT helpline never appear to understand the question
They certainly don’t, hence a WiFi extender, rather than a WiFi booster 🤣
Amazed it worked , golden rule , do not use an extension cable
Yes, that’s what someone else told me too. But now we’ve changed providers and they’ve given us 2 good WiFi boosters and now no issues at all thankfully.
I thought the reason these extender kits always say plug into a socket, rather than an extension lead, is that they work off the house's ring main. The 2 unit's aren't communicating with each other via Wifi. Perhaps they would work better if you didn't have the base unit into an extension lead. Do you have a spare socket around the corner to test it? BT also do a similar Wifi version which works in the same way but the 'satellite' units then send out the final signal via Wifi.BT also do a base unit with a socket built in, so yu don't have to give up a wall socket.
I didn’t realise that, but I’ve had no issues with it being in the extension socket?
You need to move the Main powerline to a main plug sockets, that why flashing Orange & red.
ghostygaming That is true, but unfortunately I couldn’t give it a dedicated main socket, but, still it works ok and I’ve no major issues. I’ve since got a signal booster as that was what I wanted from BT and not this product.
Ohh Okay, Bt Also do a WIfi Extended that uses Powerlines: www.amazon.co.uk/BT-Hotspot-Powerline-pass-through-socket/dp/B015E3MU2I/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1529742756&sr=8-4&keywords=wifi+powerline+adapter+bt
ghostygaming oh thank you, that’s really helpful and kind. Much appreciated. 🤗
Fyi for anyone who is interested.. you can spoof your up a dress onto another cheap router plug it into the powerline adapter and it will actually boost your wifi to the range of that router..
Well it's a shame it's not what you needed but It solved my problems so thankyou
Just an everyday kid yeah, exactly, good bit of kit. I’m glad it works for you. 🤗
I love how he says hello in alot of languages
Thank you 🙏🏻
Planning to get a set of these due to having such bad wifi for my pc. I did have the broadband extender flex 500 but one sadly died.
Hope these work well!
For that purpose yes, definitely
Did they work well and are they better than a wireless connection ?
Did they work
@@yogiagario1765 Yeah. They work well. It's more stable than wifi from where I am.
@@lemurmad I use my pc quite often and have bt wifi. It’s terrible, but tbf I have quite a few devices connected. To resolve this issue and get a better ping I got a Ethernet cable and adapter etc (not from bt) but when I plug it in it doesn’t work and the entire house wifi keeps disconnecting. I’ll have like 10 seconds of it working and then a minute of it not, and so on. Should I get the bt own brand Ethernet? Or just scrap bt as a whole
Can you test speed over this extender between Laptop and External HardDrive ?? not internet but only local network
+djsuszi I’m honestly not sure, I’m a bit rubbish when it comes to this, I’m sorry I couldn’t answer your question. 😢
Should you not plug the booster into the mains???
I didn’t find any difference plugged into the mains or an extension socket tbh.
So broadband and Wi-Fi are different.. Wi-Fi is what I need.. thanks
I have the 600 wifi one not the broadband one it only comes with one cable NOt two
so does that mean I only have to use the cable that comes with it to go into the back on the router
and then plug the other one into a socket somewhere in the house & it does not need a cable at all ?
and is it as simple as plug & play or do i need to do any technical stuff like getting into its settings through a pc and fiddle with any settings ?
so can anyone confirm how mine would be setup ?
what kind of this black cable sorter have you got on your wall and desk ?
+djsuszi this is the one I bought, its brilliant
Duronic ST12B - 12 Way 2 Metre surge Tower Extension Lead Socket - 2M - Engineered to tell you when its surge protected www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005191K54/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_gei8zb4WNDNHZ
+djsuszi Ahhhhh, I know what you mean now, that mesh strip running down from thebTV?
what kind of speeds were you getting that made them give it for free and what package was it?, and were they compliant or did it take a lot of issues for them to realise they might as well give it to you for free?
I’m with SKY now, rubbish modem, but they gave 2 boosters and it’s fine now, gave up with BT as they were gonna charge me a lot of money for extra better signal boosters.
@@HooverLux I went from sky to bt, it is much more better for me, I think really depends on the area your from. It's been a great improvement but I'm not getting the speeds I paid for
Just wondering I’m having trouble with the booster. My wifi on my phone says some thing about WPA2 connections or something , but on the WiFi selection it says no internet below the WiFi name. Does anyone know what that means as all my gadgets do not work with that booster
I recently tried this again as we’ve just had Sky Ultra Fast installed, but we seemed to be having trouble with the wifi boosters connecting to the laptop upstairs, so I dug out this and tried to use it, it didn’t work, absolutely would not connect to the laptop via the Ethernet at all, absolutely rubbish. I’ve now shoved it in the recycling bin.
Does the data light stay on at all times or only when you are using a device at the receiving end. Just setting it up and I can’t get the data light to stay on.
Only when it’s connected.
My internet went from 50 ish Mbps to 3 Mbps with these plugged in sadly doesn't seem to work for us back to Curry's they'll be going
Tim Couzens buggar!!!! Oh gosh, maybe a Wi-fi booster rather than an extender maybe?
My data light doesn’t come on
Contact your internet service provider.
I play games on Xbox and I get like 50 ping and my connection timeout, will this help me go down to like 20 ping and no connection timeout (I'll use an ethernet)
Someone please answer
i just have the BT Mini Wi-Fi Home Hotspot 600 with me from the previous tenant , now i am on virgin media, can i use it as a wifi extender ?
When I switched over to SKY from BT, it wouldn’t work 😢
@@HooverLux it says on the product description that it works no matter the ISP. This means you can use this while having talk talk , virgin etc as the ISP
Keep up there good work on RUclips mate hove a good job on RUclips mate keep up there good u do a rally good job on RUclips mate keep up there good job on RUclips mate
you haven’t got a clue what that is lol it’s BT POWER LINE ADAPTER
RANJDAR GTA probably not as I was just following the instructions given by BT 😂, in any regards it’s a load of rubbish that didn’t fit my needs and is now in the tech box of death in the attic.
will your device automatically connect to strongest point?
I tried it next to the router and signal was constant green, in the kitchen it was green amber the same, but no issue with performance, in attic room 2 flies up mainly amber but again no real performance issues. But it does depend totally on distance and walls etc.
If I set this up, can I connect to it wirelessly?
No, this is only for wireless Ethernet connection.
@@HooverLux i'd suggest buying the bt broadband powerline extender 500. it allows wireless connection and has 2 ethernet ports
I only got 1 Ethernet cable
Why is my data flashing
HAHA I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE! I wanted a WiFi (wireless) extended and they sent me this crap!
Yep, they have no idea, but now we’re with SKY and although the router is appalling, they did fit 3 boosters around the house and it’s brilliant now.
What’s the range for it?
Ultimate Prime not sure to be honest, I don’t use it anymore. It depends on how many walls or obstacles in its path on how the range is affected. From a ground floor to second floor it was fine.
Can you only have wired connection in the extender?
ismail hajee According to BT and what they told me is that is is only a wired extender, they told me this is not a signal booster, just a way to get a wired connected internet connection in a room with poor signal. This is exactly what the person at BT told me.
Do you need to pair them
You do by using the connect buttons on each and the main router.
Do you have to use both as short of sockets
Hi Linda, I’m afraid you do have to have both plugged in.
You got a kara on :)
Amandeep Singh Dhir Yes, I’ve worn it for a few years now. I was given it by some Sikh friends as a gift because I’d asked him about it a number of times when I saw them and took interest on its meaning. he explained it to me and one day came with one as a gift. He said I would be encouraged to wear it as they said I’m a good person and every time it clunks on something it always reminds me to be and do good.
I know there’s a lot more to it, but I feel proud to wear it ☺️
anoyne else having loads of issues with this? I got a new one yesturday and it just keeps cutting out until i restart it!
To be honest, the internet the past few days has been very screwy 🤒🤕
Probably just a BT wide issue then ✌️
Does this work with a ps4
Should work with any device that needs internet connection?
So annoyed at this bought it thinking you just plug it in and connect it and it works turns out it’s nothing what I thought I’d bought!
It was not what I thought it would be when I got mine, they said they were sending a wifi booster, not a Ethernet wireless connector, back with SKY now with the G-fast connection and their new router, much better.
So basically you plug this in the wall and router then put the other plug in another room and it just adds like sort of another router in that room
That’s correct. I actually asked BT for a Wi-fi extended to boost the signal around the house. They sent me this instead which they said after I called to complain, that this is just a broadband extender to plug in my laptop etc, via cable. Not what I wanted, but hey ho. I’m going to buy one of those wall socket Wi-fi boosters from Screwfix and give that a go instead. Vid will be done soon.
HooverLux far as I know if the room your In isn't on the dark wiring loop it won't work that's me screwed my routers in the garage so went with these have a grumpy teenager upstairs hopefully these will solve the issue
Tim Couzens I do hope this helps, I’ve still got it plugged in using the laptop in the attic room and so far I’ve had no issues. Thanks.
HooverLux if I could put the teenager in the attic I would lol
Tim Couzens 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, love it 😍
It worked out to be just as fast as the WIFI, well, fast? not really, but the same time as WIFI.
Paul 151 Hi Paul, I tried something like that, then called BT and they said the speed to the house was good, probably all the devices I have connected to the wifi, with the smart bulbs, switches, Sonos and then the phones etc it's just on a big load, smart house but not smart wifi capabilities. 😢
HooverLux what speed are you getting mbps
+azz hello oh my gosh, tbh I really have no idea, I’m so sorry, I’ve reviewed this as a joe no idea. I found all the Wi-fi devices in my house were slowing down my laptop and so BT gave me this to help, but to be honest it doesn’t help that much. I need actual Wi-fi signal boosters not this extender. If I had better Wi-fi signal this would work very well, at present it’s just, meh!
Might be good for getting my Smart TV downstairs on an Ethernet connection instead of WiFi. I presume it has to be on the same circuit.
Yes, it would be perfect for that as long as you get good signal. This thing is a bit hot and miss. So many variants to consider. Internet provider, area, distance, walls, interference etc etc, but generally would be good for a smart tv.
Why is my ethernet flashing
Issues with connection?
Shouldn’t be plugged into an extension, should be directly into a socket.

Shukraan.
