Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Sabrent Wi-Fi Range Extender can be used as a wireless router, access point, repeater, and has a WISP mode. For my network I was only interested in using it as a repeater. It also has a WAN/LAN connection port and a LAN connection port. I use one of the ports for my printer and the other for my office computer. Connecting the office computer to the range extender via an Ethernet cable offers superior speed compared to connecting to the range extender wirelessly and far superior speed compared to connecting wirelessly to the Time Capsule. Setup on the repeater: The Sabrent Wi-Fi Range Extender comes with a manual which was very helpful in setting up the device as a repeater. If you are knowledgeable in network setup the manual is probably good but if you are not as knowledgeable, as I was, it may take some trial and error and resetting of the range extender until everything is setup the way you want it.

This product was super easy to setup. It took me less than 15 minutes to set this up as a repeater. The instruction manual contains enough info to help you setup but the printed screen shots in the manual were hard to read. I got a nice boost to my WiFi signal from 2 bars to 5 bars on a remote computer that resulted in instant web site access with no more delays or drops. WiFi signal on smart phones on the premise are also greatly enhanced in strength and range. The LAN ports, which was the main reason for this purchase, worked well. The ports allowed uploading of video from security camera DVR to computers on the network (The DVR was designed to plug directly into a router via LAN ports). You can use the LAN ports to add other non-WiFi capable device to your network. Over all a great product with a great price and sleek looking profile.
