COMFAST300Mbps WiFi Repeater WiFi Extender Booster 2.4GHz Wireless Amplifier with Dual External Antennas, Access Point/Repeater/Router Mode, Ethernet Port, WPS (Updated Version)

Having read all the previous reviews her on Amazon, its just pointless to try to exaggerate this OMFAST 300Mbps WiFi Repeater WiFi Extender any further than what has already been said. This unit is just SUPERB. Living in a rural area as we do its was always hard to get the correct wifi signal in distant rooms. So I bought this unit after binning a previous extender and was overwhelmed with the signal once I set it up. Never have we had such a strong wifi. So impressed was I that I purchased a second unit and placed that at the other end of the house. We now have a wifi signal everywhere.. It takes around 30secs in connect to the WPS on your Router/Hub (in my case its a BT Hub) just by just following the clear instructions. I was initially fooled after connecting to the Hub with the first unit as I clearly expected to see all 3 lights permanently on on the repeater itself. It does not do that. After linking to the Hub, only 2 lights then stay on and show on the repeater. The power light and the end wifi light. The central WPS light stays off after linking with your Hub. I was a little frustrated at that point it has to be said. However once I twigged that angle the second unit took me 30secs to connect. So be aware of that small niggle. Also, after linking to the Hub, if the wifi light starts to blink, then the unit has to be moved closer to the Hub to stop the unit 'hunting' for the signal. Not really a problem as the extender emits such a strong signal that moving it closer to the Hub doesn't really matter that much. All in all a brilliant piece of kit. Well happy and well pleased. Lets hope that it last as it has be permanently in the switched on mode to function, much like my existing Bt Extenders of coarse (which have since been discarded) but these COMFAST units being far superior to the Bt units. All IMHO of coarse.UPDATE: Just a small point. After a couple of months (no set time... could be 1, 2 or even 3 months) I have noticed that the extender will freeze its signal, That is to say we get no signal even though its all on. Solution.... turn off and leave off for 30 secs or so, and then switch back on again. It then auto resets itself. Don't know if anyone else has experienced this irritation, but that's what i have found on my 3 units anyway. Not saying they freeze together. They do it independently of each other. There is no time limit on this. Could be anytime as it just happens. After all they are on 24/7.

Unable to connect to network

Wasn’t the easiest beast to set up! Should have been . The easiest way is by using the WPS , took ages went back to factory settings twice . Also tried coveting with the lead again wasn’t a happy bunny ! Eventually I set it back to factory again left in for ten minutes then tried the WPS again and this time success ... have to wait and see if it truly extends the signal... perhaps I was just unlucky with the set up...

I bought one of these previously and it has worked really well. I then thought it would be good to buy a second one, to cover a bit more of the house where the signal was weak. That was my mistake. It messed up all of my wifi, and only after doing more research online, discovered that this was a bad idea, and reduced the bandwidth on my router and existing extender, so then nothing worked properly. So in terms of this product - it works really well, but don't make the same mistake as I did, and buy a second one. Less is more in this case!

Simple to set up but the signal isn't great and constantly drops out. Definitely not good for any sort of gaming but works ok for standard internet or streaming. Just need a little patience.

So far, so good. My Netgear wifi extenders are a few years old and don't have enough range and lately have been giving me all sorts of problems, with various devices struggling or refusing to connect to them. This Comfast seems to work flawlessly, albeit I've only been using it for a short time so far. The range is sufficient for me to use a wifi CCTV camera at the bottom of my garden, which is about 17m long, and that's getting 2 bars of signal strength. That camera now finally connects reliably. Build quality of the Comfast seems fine & set up wasn't too painful - took about 10 minutes. Push a button on your router, push a button on the Comfast, wait a few seconds, then connect to the Comfast just like you would any other wifi hotspot and put in your usual password for your wifi network (your usual router password).I will probably get another to replace my other Netgear and the second will likely take half the time to set up now that I know what I'm doing.As is usual with wifi extenders, expect your bandwidth/internet speed to be about half of what it is when connecting directly to your main router. Unless you have a particularly slow internet connection you probably won't even notice this.

Works fine to set up - although by no means an easy interface to do so, however if you want to change internet providers - and need to move this booster to the new one, it requires a chat with a chat bot and then they have to phone you back- absolutely crazy

Easy to set up
