rockspace WiFi Extender, Covers Up to 1292 sq. Ft and 20 Devices, Dual-Band AC750 WiFi Range Extender, Access Point Mode w/Ethernet Port, 1-tap Install Wireless Signal Booster

The media could not be loaded. I was very surprised with how different WiFi Extender can be. I had already purchased a lower end extender a while back for my personal needs. I have a building about 30 ft from my hone with no internet service out there. This Extender did the trick. The first Extender I bought did not, it would regularly get warm and need to be reset. It also needed to be installed in the furtherest part of my home by the wall nearest to the building.RockSpace AX1800PROS:Construction, it’s very sturdy and solid. It has directional antennas that can be moved in a full range of motion. Setup was a breeze. Even after I unplugged it, it saves all the information you have so it boots right back up. You can see that in real time in the video above. Initial setup took less than 5 minutes using the small guide included. The range is great I’m able to get all but 1 signal bar from the aforementioned outside building. Hindered only by walls and roofs, if it was a straight line it’d be max I’m sure. My signal inside my home is max in each room now. The setup allows the extender to be used 2 different main ways. I’m using it as a basic range extender. Unit has been very reliable and held the signal with no need to reset. The unit does not get hot and unreliable like the other brand I had purchased first.CONS:It’s just a little higher priced than other brands but RockSpace is a reliable brand and you DO get what you pay for. The unit is slightly larger so if space is an issue that could be a con.Overall I’d definitely recommend the RockSpace AX1800. I will be getting rid of my original extender and replacing it with the AX1800!

The setup was quite easy; the device needs a minute or so after being plugged in to acquire a signal and begin repeating. Where my main wifi router has 13 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload, this repeater delivers 10 Mbps/2Mbps when the signal LED is blue and only slightly lower download when the signal LED is red at a different location in the same vicinity. The device stays toasty warm all the time; not the most energy-efficient device I've bought.Although I can connect to Netflix and load content, the stream repeatedly stopped to buffer. Netflix says high resolution video should be OK with as low as 5 Mbps data speed, but there seems to be something incompatible. I initially assumed it was this device, but it has subsequently proven to be my computer. So that's great I guess . . . I just need a new big screen to go with my new wifi extender.

Have my wifi router at one end of the house and my TV at the other. TV kept buffering when streaming movies. Had used a wifi range extender like this years ago when living in Africa and found it worked well. Decided to try it again.This Rock Space dual band wifi range extender was easy to set up and use. However, using it in its wifi mode did not immediately resolve the problem. Wasn't sure if that's a fault of my router, this range extender, or my TV itself. Decided to wire it direct to the TV. In other words, this unit receives its signal over the air through wifi, then sends it on to the TV through a standard connecting cord from the range extender to the TV. It works perfectly!! No more signal drops. No more buffering, No more interruptions when watching streaming movies. This little unit is well worth the money.Have another TV in that end of the house, but in the family room in the basement. Different brand of TV but same problem. Had a router/extender on hand and put it in the vicinity of the downstairs TV. Still no joy. Again, connected that TV to the router with an internet cable and problem resolved.Am inclined to think the issue is the TV's lack of ability to pick up a wifi signal rather than it being an issue with my router or this wifi range extender or my router/extender. Can sit in that end of the house (upstairs or downstairs) with a laptop and watch streaming movies with no problems. Anyway, this Rock Space unit resolved my upstairs internet connection issues a second time (once in Africa and once here in the US) and I highly recommend them. Good results. Good value for the money.

I was able to set up the extender fairly simply initially. When I got a new router, I could not re-establish a connection with the extender. I've been in tech for more than 20 years, and found neither of connection methods worked. WPS: with extender plugged in less than a meter away, it did not work. Ethernet: IP address provided by Rockspace did not work (192.168.0.254). I chatted with tech support, and she said the only fix was to give her control of my pc. For what should be a "routine" install?!? I asked to simply provide me with a valid link to login to admin, or written step by step instructions. She said that was not possible. I asked "so unless I give you access to my pc, I should just throw this extender away." She replied "yes, that is correct." So extender is in the trash and I'm writing the caution to the rest of you: it *might* work on first install, but never change/upgrade your router or it will not work. And "customer support" is horrible.UPDATE 6/3/21: After posting this review, I was contacted by a representative of rockspace. They offered to replace or refund, and expressed apologies for my experience. I accepted the refund. As mentioned above: initially, the extender seemed to install and work very easily. But when it stopped working, it took this public review to get action. Perhaps they've corrected that issue? Keep looking a recent reviews and see what folks are saying. Because of that follow up, and my belief they're working to improve the customer support, I'm upgrading my review from 1 star to 3
