Setup took more effort than initially suggested
Overall, I hve a WAVLINK AX1800 outdoor Wi-Fi extender does work once it’s installed. I have cameras in my chicken coop several hundred feet away from my house, and I need a network connection to run those cameras. That said, I have to be honest—the setup process was nowhere near as easy as advertised. In fact, I almost returned it. The instructions were not very clear. Some of the links were broken and unusable. In the end, I had to call customer support and have them walk me through the setup step by step. To be fair, customer service responded to my email quickly and even called me back as requested, so the support definitely deserves five stars. I also feel the price is a bit high, and the unit itself is quite large and bulky. It can’t stand on its own and has to be mounted or secured somewhere, otherwise it just keeps falling over. There is also a green indicator light on the power cable that stays on all the time, which is a bit annoying since I placed the unit outside a second-floor bedroom window to get better signal coverage. Overall, it’s better than some other products on the market and it does meet my needs. I just find the setup process too complicated, which was disappointing.
