Question 1

Des this range extender uses all the avantages of a AC3200 router, is it capable of repeating two bands on 5Ghz?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately no. While your router may be a tri-band (1 2.4ghz and 2 5ghz), this only supports extending (1 2.4ghz and 1 5ghz). Like you, and we and the rest of the tech world are still waiting for a tri band extender but has yet to come to market. To note, of course you could simply buy a tai-band router, and then in settings convert it to an extender, the obvious down sides being mainly cost and the large size of a router vs a dedicated extender.

Question 2

How far does it reach? 30/40/50 meters? Can anyone estimate what they are getting?

Accepted Answer

Sorry for the delay, going from my kitchen which is where the range extender is to the far side of my garage and even another 10 feet outside of it, I am looking at approximately 40 ft & 50 ft with the signal at 55 dBM & 64 dBM respectively. I hope this helps you.

Question 3

Any good reports on the EX7000 from people who are NOT part of the "Friends and Family Test program"   I am very interested in this, but .....

Accepted Answer

I don't speak "tech" but make of this what you will.  Our house has ceiling heat and a kitchen with appliances against the wall that is in the middle of the house basically.  Bottom line kitchen is dead zone and the wires for ceiling heat made connections from the modem on the other side of the house near impossible.  I have xfinity 105 and had 2 techs here trying to make it communicate.  We decided we had 2 options, an extender or hard wire the other side of the house through the electrical outlets. Purchased the EX7000 because if I have to invest I'm going with best I can find and afford and this was it.  Placement is in my kitchen near the doorway to the part of the house that has signal, we now have excellent wireless in all areas of the house and I game online wireless without any wifi signal issues even if everyone else in the house is online. I hope you have the same luck :-)

Question 4

is this wifi extender good to use in my RV?  RV parks are traditionally bad with wifi reception and I want to beat that.  Wat do u think?

Accepted Answer

Yes!!! I am using it in my RV to pick up free wi-file and it boosting my signal to full bars as though as I am sitting next to the AP. The speed is insanely fast. Thank God I didn't purchase additional T-Mobile lousy "unlimited" on the hotpot device. Look at my review and the image I uploaded. By 50 feet I am getting full bar from the building ( not sure where the AP is located) but I believe it is somewhere further away. With my Note 4, I am getting one or two bars. My kindle HDX 7" getting two. Sometimes the signAL shows no bar but still working and sometimes just stopped.  With this thing, the signal is full bars as listed on the router admin page. I could tell the difference because of the page loading. Buy it!!
