WAVLINK2025 AC1200 Outdoor WiFi Extender, Long Range Dual Band WiFi Signal Booster Weatherproof with PoE Powered, Gigabit Port, Supports Router/AP/Repeater Modes for Garage,Camping/RV

I use this device on my RV and have had very good results at different locations.The final results will depend on the power of the originating ACCESS POINT.I WIFI connected the WAVLINK AC1200 Outdoor WiFi Extender to a satellite access point with excellent transmission.I configured the WAVLINK AC1200 Outdoor WiFi Extender WN572HP3 as a REPEATER.At 100 feet, the download speed was 98mbps and the upload speed was 36mbps.At 600 feet, the download speed was 34mbps and the upload speed was 16mbps.I then configured the WAVLINK AC1200 Dual Band WiFi Router 531P3-New as ROUTER MODE.I configured the router WAN using a static IP to match the extender IP.I configured the router LAN to use a different IP address and I enabled DHCP.I configured the GUEST NETWORK for additional isolation security.I connected the the cable to the router WAN port and to the extender power supply LAN port.I connected 2 different clients to the router GUEST NETWORK using WIFI.At 100 feet, the download speed was 90mbps and the upload speed was 30mbps.At 600 feet, the download speed was 30mbps and the upload speed was 16mbps.These are excellent products. The software is rock solid and hasn't crashed at all. The components are very well build and they interface with each other flawlessly. There is minimal to zero signal loss between the extender and the router.There are several configuration options. In my case, I use the extender as a repeater, and the only device that connects to it is my router. I use the router as an access point and completely control all connections. This provides both excellent connectivity to outside access points, and high grade security within my LAN.

I needed a wifi repeater to reach a camera at a gate 650 feet from the house. I gave this item a try and it worked as advertised. I had issues trying to log into the device from my laptop but had no issues logging in on the iphone. I set it up in the repeater mode and it covers the entire pasture and probably further (I haven't checked how far the signal actually goes yet) with fairly decent strength. I can get about 40 mbs at about 200 feet and a solid 20 mbs at 650 feet. I installed this about 8 feet off of the ground and against an exterior wall. I would expect the range to be a little better if installed higher and not against a wall. My installation serves it purpose for me so, I'm pleased.

These are actually pretty good extenders. We've been using 3 of these for several years to extend wifi from the house to three shops about 300 ft away. There is a setup learning curve. I contacted tech support, and they advised me what I needed to do. One of them did take on water at some point. By the looks of it, the water had been in there for many months. Not sure how it kept working for so long. They've worked great for the situation here.

Doesnt appear to provide the range quoted in specifications. Fairly reliable as a range extender, but I am maxing out at approximately 200-250ft.

For homeowners and small businesses that do not have a PoE system, this product will probably work just fine for you, keep in mind the power adapter must be indoors.For the rest of the planet, this system uses a proprietary power over ethernet that is NOT compatible with any PoE switches or power supplies. In their infinite wisdom, Wavelink chose to make their own super cheap power supply and call it PoE. Technically it is PoE, just not compliant with the industry. No where in the description is this noted. I found a single reference to this when I searched Wavelink website for why the device would not power on during bench test. I returned it the same day I received it. I can not comment on whether it works or not as I didn't bother powering it up.

This is an upgraded version to one that was damaged during a major wind storm. This version is SPECTACULAR. We have a square 2 acre lot, this reaches it all. We can install Wifi trail cameras. It's been a game changer.

I dislike giving a poor review on a product that I have not even been able to install yet, but there is the problem...The manual says to pass the RJ45 connector through the rubber gasket. This is impossible given the size of the connector and the tiny hole in the gasket. Please explain what detail I am missing.

Great product, the range is very good, and I love the overall designs of this product.
