Excellent product and the support was excellent. Initially I had a few issues but they were sorted in a timely manner so very happy

These are amazing and pretty inexpensive.I put one on the roof last year and it has worked flawlessly.This one is repeating the network via POE to supply Ethernet to a router inside a metal building.Fast set up, secure, fast speeds. Highly recommended.

It really works. It boost my WIFI signal ten times the original one. I'm well please with it.

Bought this to extend WiFi coverage (and therefore Alexa control) to my greenhouse and garage (both a distance from the house). Wow, what a difference to the signal I was getting from my internal hi powered gaming hub. I can now control Smart Devices all over the back of my house and garden. It gives a strong signal over a very wide area and this one was supposedly the cheaper/less featured version.Set up was a breeze too, took around the time for it to boot up (which is a couple of minutes).

I have a large yard with a steel building (no windows and no WiFi/cell signal penetrates it). By placing one unit of this just outside the steel building and connecting it to a router inside the steel building, I was able to extend my houses WiFi 100+ yards in my backyard and relay it to a router inside the steel building.

We have 3 of these on our farm. 1 acts as an access point directly connected to our router and 2 act as repeaters that give us excellent WiFi coverage over a couple of acres.We intend to add more as we add buildings for additional animals throughout our 14 acres.

Easy to set up, although the instruction are not brilliant. Range is suffient to reach my garage 30m away, which was the intention.

It certainly LOOKS impressive as all get out! Four antennas, good apparently weatherproof construction, nice blinking blue lights, and a very good bracket for mounting.However, set up was a horror show. Being able to access the management console via the browser was inconsistent and very slow. Sometimes you had to use the default IP address and sometimes you had to use the URL. Once you made the necessary configuration changes and refreshed the device it would take sometimes 15 minutes before I could access the management console again. The device would just blink the status light at me and not respond to any attempts to continue the set up and configuration.Finally I get it set up and operational and all seems well. Then for no apparent reason it stops working and I see the only lights on the device working are the power light, steady, and the status light blinking at me again. I power it on and off. Give it was now seems to the required half hour for it to recover itself and then try to access the management console. No dice. It seemingly accepts my password but the screen just flashes and it brings me back to the log in screen.Earlier in this drama I contacted their technical support team and after two days got an email apologizing for the slow response. I responded back with my situation and never heard back from them again.Finally fed up I returned and am now looking for a different device from a different company.It gets two stars because it actually worked albeit briefly.

Once set up, this router is performing well and provides the extended network performance I needed. It did, however, take me days to set it up. The instructions provided with the router are printed in a tiny font and I would guess have been poorly translated from another language. I had to use a third party YouTube video to complete the assembly. I needed customer assistance to complete set up. There is no live chat or phone contact available as the helpdesk is far out of my EST time zone. I had to wait overnight for email responses to my questions.

Judging by the number of 1 star reviews I'd say buyer most definitely beware. It's fairly easy to set up provided you follow the instructions by the letter. The wi-fi performance though is anything but as advertised - even without any obstructions - trees/buildings etc. Then the frustration begins whether you allow the 'thing' to operate on dynamic IP or set a static one. Now I'm fairly familiar with setting up the magic art of wi-fi and nope there's not a quick and easy WPS button. Anything over 15 feet and the signal just dropped - nothing not even a weak signal. Move back into that 15 feet and signal as expected.However, then the fun and games begin - you have the IP address - in my case it was 192.168.178.40 and was recognised on my system. If you need to alter anything which I had the need to do so simply to try and fine tune the thing, you're met with the login page, enter your password and then a 500 error page appears. Try again and it's that 500 error page again. So another try and hey presto it suddenly logs you into the UI. Make a change here and there and you've guessed it - another 500 error page. I tried 3 different browsers. The Wavlink solution is clear your browser cache which shouldn't be necessary but I did - made no difference. Another suggestion is reboot your router - WHAT!!! Anyway I did eventually do that but as expected made no difference.Set back to factory defaults, connected directly to router and sometimes you could log in and other times a no go.So apart from the extremely weak signal although I appreciate I may have just been unlucky - there's the difficulty in simple login. The UI is frankly amatuerish when you can get to it. Goodness knows how anyone would feel if they had it mounted high up outside - ladder time again. So sorry Wavlink I would advise anyone to steer clear. I now join the One Star review brigade which I'm always reluctant to do but really Wavlink do need to get their act together and no, I'm not interested in a Wavlink replacement to waste all that time again.

1. One of the other comments about the Wavlink AC1200 was correct in that these units are very difficult to get operating. I wasted two days to get this to operate. Not easy. Poor hardware & software.2. Operates at 24v POE and won't work if a substitution 48v to 24v POE adapter like the Ubiquiti INS-3AF-I-G Indoor Gigabit Adapter available on Amazon is used. Btw, the Ubiquiti adaptors work fine on other 24v POE access point vendors like TP-Link3. The biggest show stopper was the AC1200 does not allow special characters in either the admin or user access points. This means both WAP & repeater mode is useless in networks that use special characters with the same SSID

I bought this device it so I could connect to an Access Point on my network from the neighbor's house while I am hanging out there to access my network resources (file server, etc.) directly instead of using her much slower WiFi and a VPN to my system.The good: Seemingly good construction. Gaskets/seals at the antenna connections and at the bottom where the cables come in to seal it from moisture. Very good WiFi signal. I used double-stick tape and stuck it to the inside of a window on the side of the house facing the neighbor's . The signal is strong both inside of her house (about 100 feet away) and the opposite end of my house. Much better signal than any of the APs I have in service now, including a top-of-the-line and $$$ Ubiquiti device mounted outside which was supposed to have an amazing range but has been a disappointment in that regard. So far so good.The not so good: The PoE injection box and wall wart are a little cheap and flimsy, but they work. Inside use only, they are not waterproof. Better is a PoE switch, which is what I used and it makes for a cleaner install.If you know anything about IP networking and manage your own network, the instructions and UI are lacking as very few advanced options are present. I set the device up as an Access Point. The UI was easy to get to (I connected using a laptop, powered up the device and set my laptop's browser to the 192.168.10.1 IP address, as stated in the user's guide). Setup was a breeze, just change admin password, time zone, set up SSID and WiFi password, and WiFi encryption mode. I could not find a way to make changes to the device's internal IP address/default gateway/DNS server, etc. on the WAN port. However it does have an option for "Self-management" in the initial setup, that probably puts it in DHCP mode. Once the config is saved, device re-booted, still connected to the laptop Ethernet jack and the device running, the web-based UI shows some info about the system but not the WAN port IP settings.So for now until I do a hard-reset and re-do the config set up and turn off the "Self Management" toggle to experiment, I'm stuck with it being a DHCP device on my LAN. No problem, I could find it by doing a network scan to find it's assigned IP address, but that's more work than should be necessary.Nonetheless, it's working very good for now so like many devices on my network I will leave well enough alone until something hiccups.
