WAVLINK AC600 Outdoor Weatherproof Wi-Fi Range Extender-Dual Band 2.4 & 5GHz Long Range Wireless Internet Signal Extender Booster&Router/AP/Repeater/WISP Mode with POE,No WiFi Dead Zones for Home

This unit is easy to install and setup , I have a Eero pro on each floor of my house and it works great however I had dead spots out in my yard. I hooked this unit up on the back end of my deck ( AP bridge mode ) and now I have awesome wifi throughout my yard . Now my wifi pool light works and my Kasa wifi switch for my shed lightsVery happy so far

Update July 2025:Unit stopped working 9 months after initial install. Power light on adapter flashes on and off and Wi-Fi extender network doesn't show up. Don't waste your money on this.Installation was easy but the instruction manual leaves a lot to be desired. Logging onto the Wavlink setup page is a disaster. You better hope that when you are able to log on the settings are exactly the way you want them because you're likely not going to be able to log on again. Tried all of their solutions, different browser, different device, clear the cache, delete cookies, etc. No luck logging on again to check the settings. Having said that, it seems to be working fine, the service range has definitely increased by at least 400 ft and it's doing what I wanted it to do. I had to run CAT6 cable from our router to the antenna location on the outside of the house. Nowhere in the instructions does it say what wiring protocol to use so I used the most common RJ45 wiring for T568B and that works fine for POE to the antenna.Fix the Wavlink setup page and this becomes a 5 star product.

I have moved to a small farm isolated from cable internet. So I uses a Sprint Hotspot modem which provides the same wifi distribution around the house as a typical modems I had while living in the city. I wanted WIFI around the yard and to outbuildings. I attached the AC600 to a 3 foot mast on the roof of the porch just outside the den where I have the Sprint modem. I got 3 bars wifi strength on my iphone at this point. The sprint modem does not have an ethernet connection so my connection from modem to AC600 had to be by WiFi. I purchased a 50 ft powered ethernet cable to replace the 3 ft cable that came with the AC600 order and used it to supply power from AC600 to an outdoor power outlet.Results: I have a workshop 145 feet from the AC600 and a pole barn 165 feet away in the opposite direction. I got a steady 2 bars on the iphone. I installed a range extender in each building and get 3 bars in each.

It works fairly well, not as easy of a setup as I thought it would be but after figuring out a few things, it gets the job done. Doesn’t reach as far as I would like but not horribly either.

It works with a mesh system. The setup is a pain. You'll want hold this in different spots before mounting it & test the strength of the signal. Also mount this up high as you can as wifi sinks. It's not worth the price you're paying. I mounted cameras 32 yards away & I'm only getting 20MB on speed. Also there is a 100MB limit on this so if you have 250MB or higher you will never see those speeds. I tried mounting it indoors & it didn't extend the range. It's also not waterproof as stated so mount it somewhere under an eve. Make sure you have a drip loop on the cable as well. Mount the power indoors as this can't be mounted outside.

Works great for my street door video doorbell.

The media could not be loaded. After 7 months died. I already contact support for warranty. Waiting for reply.Update: 26 May 2025Customer service has been incredible. They asked me to buy a new one, and they refunded me through Amazon. I'll keep you posted when they refund me and I'll give you an update. Everything has been very fast.Update 5 juneI already received my refund and the new antenna. What wonderful customer service, directly from the brand, through Amazon.

Worked good for 30 minutes then it died!! Named network's and added security keys. Good thing I tested this before fully installing.I bench tested this with a laptop and it all was going well. Setup was a breeze, unboxed to running in about 10 minutes, and I had great speeds for where I am located (~100/20). Browsed around a bit and things were going great, very pleased so far. I then decided to range test it before climbing up on the roof to install.Placed the unit in a window to see what coverage I would have at ground level. Turned it on and all the lights turned green and indicator lights showed I had full connectivity.Tried connecting my phone to the network to walk around and the network was not showing up. Since I knew the name of the network I tried to manually add the network to my device. No luck.I then went back and got my laptop that was already connected to the unit. Same issue, no network. No 2.4G or 5G, nothing.I tried to hard reset based on the included instructions and the unit would not even do that. All lights still green as well. I unplugged then plugged back in. After that the hard reset worked.A few minutes later and the lights all turned green again but some issue, no network found.I then ran a scan for all networks even those that are not broadcasting SSID. Nothing found at all.Amazon accepted return and new unit is on the way. Will update review once I check the new one out.ALWAYS BENCH TEST THESE THINGS!!! How much worse this would have been had I ran all the cable and had this mounted on my roof before it crapped out!
