D-Link DAP-1955-US, WiFi Range Extender Mesh Gigabit AC1900 Dual Band Plug In Wall Signal Booster Wireless or Ethernet Port Smart Home Access Point, White

(Wifi signal and Tech support: Garbage) (Ease to install: Id rather swallow a pillow with nails)
This product wasted 3 hours of my time. Let’s start with the ease of installation. Part 1 Words can’t describe. I found one of the most important pieces of information to be in the 88-page instruction manual (NOT PROVIDED), which I could not find on the website. The setup wizard is awfully slow, and I hit a massive roadblock when it said to get the device to blink orange. After 15 minutes of fiddling with it, I got it orange, and when I googled the video instruction guide, the menu guides were totally different from what it looked like on the phone. I have a 140 IQ and am excellent at puzzles, and it was being awful. Then later it said to connect to wifi scan the QR code. Which was on the phone screen, so I used my computer to take a picture of the QR code and then take a picture of the QR code on the computer with my phone when it said already connected….. Apparently, the QR code connected me to my home wifi which I was already connected to, and it was the end of the road, and I was stuck. So then I read through the 88-page manual the second time and decided to try a new approach. I went to the web-based configuration utility tool, and it said to enter password. So I unplugged it out of the wall and entered the 10-ish character password on the back, and it didn’t work; then I tried to plug in my router’s password, and it didn’t work. apparently, on the back sticker is said password:abcde12345 and then right under it password:password. So I typed in the “password” and it worked. Who makes their Password password? I realised at that moment the first password was for the device and the second password was for my account, which I had to log into on Google (which was not in the booklet) to create my account—still trying to understand. So then I looked at the graphic on the computer, which was a series of checkmarks and lines and compared it to the manual, which said to be fully connected, It had to match the sequence of lines, which it did, and the extender had to match the sequence of colours which it didn’t. So the computer is saying everything is complete, and the router extender is like Sike. So I delete the app and get it back and immediately get a popup which I didn’t get at the beginning saying allow local network in settings, so I press the button that says go to settings. I kid you not, In settings, it was turned on, so I go back, and the popup hasn’t left the screen. Still tells me to turn it on, so I turn it off and go back to the app, and the popup is gone. Disappeared out of thin air. So I delete the app, and that same popup appears, and then I get a phone call… GONE. Again. So I deleted the app and get again, and this time I clicked go to settings and then I turned it on, and the popup led me to the next stage where I was now still on the landing page. And I swear, out of the corner of my eye, all three LEDS turned green for a millisecond. Then I spent the next hour reading, googling, searching, resetting, rebooting, and exploring everything in the menu till I got to something. I did a full reset on everything, resetting to factory settings and retrying the setup wizard. Attempt two: everything is the same. Attempt three: Somehow, something is different, and then it gives me a new screen I’ve never seen before, telling me I now get to pick the wifi I want to connect it to instead of it choosing it for me and finally, some progress. I enter my password, then create a new password, then allow automatic updates, then wait for the green light… NO green light. That green light was just like my win at the weekly Chess arena kings. Non-existent. So I try to tap the troubleshooting button, but I misclick and click next, and It said I frakin kid you not: “Congratulations!” with confetti. LIKE I Just completed a game. I turn around, and the light was red. I lost my ever-given mind. The little piece left of me in my heart that I didn’t know existed was stolen from me. At that moment, I wanted to hunt the CEO down. Not any average human can withstand the pressure of D link. If anybody can hunt this man down, it’s the man that survived the D-link. Too bad the CEO is dead. Very sketchy I can’t find anything on this CEO even though the company is worth over a third of a billion. Another thing is that this company is worth so much and still managed not to have 24-hour customer service. SMHPart two: Sketchy stuff. If you investigate further, the business name is JMBO sales which is a method where random people who decide to adopt this voodoo drop ship model put a bunch of random letters together to get their application to the US Copyright Office to move faster. The business address is some random dude in Hickory Hills, Illinois. I could continue investigating, but it’s not worth my time.Part three: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good speed and coverage.
When COVID had two of us working at home I rushed into a wifi extender provided by FIOS. After realizing I had shelf out $480 (and counting) for renting that i decided to buy an extender and see how it worked, and if it didn’t I could return it. Same exact speed performance as the fios one, which is amazing since the fios one was connected my coax to my OND, while this one is connected by wifi to the base router on another floor, on the other side of a brick wall!

Had an issue with the extender but the seller provided brilliant customer service. Thankyou for your help.

Resolveu!

O aparelho é compatível com a tecnologia mesh para estender uma rede Wi-Fi, porém tem limitação de range de canais para funcionar, na 5G precisa trabalhar só com canais com numeração mais baixa, o que dificultou muito a instalação até eu descobrir esse detalhe. E o aparelho trava praticamente uma vez por dia, o que precisa tirar e colocar ele novamente na tomada. No mais atende ao esperado.
