2026 AX1800 Outdoor WiFi 6 Extender Long Range, WAVLINK Outdoor WiFi Access Point with PoE, 4x8dBi High-Gain Antennas, IP67 Weatherproof, for Farm, Cameras, Patio, Starlink

I purchased this unit to extend my Wi-Fi to my gate, which is approximately 700 feet from my house. There is a little learn curve to it, but it's not that hard, and the unit worked great for a year. Then, for some reason, the 2.4 GHz side of the unit stopped working. I called tech support, and they had me do a few things, but it still wouldn't work. However, they had their second-level tech email me, and we tried a few other things; still, we weren't lucky. The unit was 3 days out of the 1-year warranty, but they sent me a brand new system in 3 days anyway. I had it up and going that afternoon, and it's working great. I hope I don't have another problem, but if I do, I will buy another one because it works very well and goes the distance, and they did not have to replace the system, but they did. Thanks Wavlink..

I really like these devices. I set up the first one as Wireless AP. and I was able to access it from a good 200 yards away. Through a cabin wall and a few trees but it was about as "line of sight" as it could be without being able to see it. I added another this past week and it was pretty simple to change the wireless ap to mesh AP and add the second mesh extender. I wasn't able to get it to pair with the hardware button. I had to do it through the two GUIs. But not a big deal. The hardest part is getting the stupid Ethernet cable through the waterproof gland assembly. Like always they make those a tiny bit too small and makes getting the cable through impossible and full of cursing. small flathead finally helped and I was able to shove it through there. Don't misplace the rubber insert for the reset button like me. Don't see where they offer replacements. but it shouldn't get wet in its orientation. Comes with a passive POE injector, but I'm running mine straight from a POE switch. I thought I was going to need 3 to stretch to the area I was trying to watch with cameras but I was able to make it with 2. I leave a cheap deck box nearby with the POE switch in it and stick a 1024wh battery pack in them to power the AP, Switch, and 1 camera. they run all night allowing remote viewing of deer and other wildlife. Really expands my viewing capabilities. I wasn't really able to get beyond 40-50 yards or so with the cheap little "travel" router I was using. I'm now watching deer 350+ yards away. Very much worth the cost IMO.

So far this extender is working great. I have it mounted on my office in my back yard but the intention is to get WIFI a bit further out into the hills . I haven't checked the range yet do to weather but as it is im very happy .

I purchased this for my uncle's ranch to extend the WiFi signal to other buildings on the property. It worked very well and had an effective range of 300-400 meters. It was very easy to install (PoE helps a lot) and set up. We mounted it on a mast/pole about 25' off the ground. It did fail a couple of months ago due to water leaking past the antennae and into the box, but Wavlink support is making it right by replacing the unit. Their support has been helpful and responsive. They even helped me with recommendations for getting the WiFi signal inside some metal buildings. Only giving this unit 4 stars due to the issue, but I may revise it up to 5 stars later.

We're using it as a repeater and love it. We're at a campground in Florida in our RV and they have WiFi in the club house which is about 350ft from our campsite. We could get 1 or 2 wifi bars on our devices but speed tests were very slow. After connecting the WaveLin AX1800 we were getting 60+ Mbs downloads and 28 Mbs uploads. Now we can stream on our TV with no problem. Setup was very easy. We had an old Netgear Range extender and it clouldn't improve the wifi signal. . Now, with the WaveLink we're enjoying fast Internet speeds. We're pretty blown away by how well this works. Hope your experience is as good.

I like the range of this router. I have Starlink at my ranch and I extended it to my barn 150' away with cat6 cable and a nighthawk router. But I needed more range so I ran another 175 ft of cat6 cable from the nighthawk router with this Wavlink router at the end, mounted on a metal pole outside my barn. I can now get a signal 600 ft from the outside of the barn all the way to the front gate. Now I can add a solar powered wifi camera at my gate. Also the power is ran through the cat6 cable so you don't need to plug in the router. The only problem I had was the initial setup. And the setup directions are printed in very small type so older eyes like mine, might have a problem reading the fine print. It got a little frustrating setting it up at first but then I reset the router and started over and it went very smoothly at that time and so far I've have a long range stable signal. So my advice is if you have a problem setting it up initially, press the reset button (I know they don't really tell you where it is on the router) and start over.

UPDATE: Installed 7/2023 dead 11/2023. This device is a joke. Stay away. I'm in IT. Do not recommend. Software is too simple and build quality is subpar. The WAP worked without issue. The software is VERY basic. No guest mode. If you want more than one SSID you need to designate one for 2.4ghz and one for 5ghz. I was impressed that it was able to do a firmware update using my phone over the "cloud'. Ultimately the limited software will make this my last purchase of this item. The method to mount the unit is a joke. Not very secure for an outside unit. Ethernet connection must be enclosed in 1/2 inch conduit or water grommet from the bottom. No method to mount on the ceiling with any ease. On the very first screen it asks you to change the default password. Great! Except it won't save the new password. Keeps saying to use English letters and special characters. Which I am doing. I finally got this to work by changing my password until it liked one I picked. The SSID passwords have the same issue. I would not recommend for anything but a very basic install. I gave it 3 stars because it does work and the range was excellent.

Mal, es tercera qué ya funcionó, la señal 2.4 se muere después de tormentas eléctricas.
