Wifi extender

Hi, Has anyone used an extender other than the Xiaomi one? Thanks

If it is helpfull I used the xiaomi youth router, can be powered from powerbanks and in heavily wifi polluted areas it helps a bit, but never compared the range, as mostly I use only the simple repeater.

I just ordered one on Amazon for $12.00. Can't go wrong for that price!

I can get one from Amazon but won't recieve it for 1-1.5 months.

You must live on the moon! I'll have mine in two days with free shipping! (USA) Perhaps you could find another shipping method? Good luck!

It's an extra $50 to get it before the end of July, and I'm on the west coast of Canada.

Yes, I have an extender Meross bought from Amazon. Much easier to install and well tested. See YouTube from Dragon7 for information. Was on sale at Amazon but I think I paid $16-$17.00

Found the video you mentioned -
Seems much easier to set up than the Xiaomi.

Guy that made that video also made a range test video with the extender -

Yes, he did a video on Range. I don’t have a need for extended altitude at this point but there is a free app-Tals. My hesitation is also that it goes into the Tello app.
