Urant Wifi Repeater Review and Setup Tutorial
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Having Wifi signal problems? Try the URANT Wifi Extender and improve the Wifi range of your network. Currently ~$16 on Amazon (paid link)👍 - geni.us/WifiRange
Look and Build:
The look of the URANT Wifi repeater is not bad. It is white and has the lights arranged on one side which looks pretty cool when they are all blinking. The plastic does not feel too cheap. One of the problems I have with the build of this device is that it is pretty bulky. When plugged into a wall socket it will make it hard to plug any other devices in to the other plug. So basically you lose a wall socket in your house.
Connection Quality and Range:
The connection was not bad really and once I finished the configuration it seemed to automatically connect pretty quickly. Usually when I purchase Wifi devices like this, such as a travel router or wireless repeater, I like to test the bandwidth before and after the device to see how much it affects the internet speeds. I found that I lost nearly 70% of my bandwidth using this product. While this wouldn't be horrible for just surfing the internet it would be very bad for streaming movies or TV. It would also not be the best if you had multiple people using the repeated WiFi network. Some bandwidth loss is always to be expected with devices like this so it is something to be aware of for sure.
Easy of Installation:
Installation for this product was extremely easy. Really only involved plugging the URANT Wifi Repeater in and then going to WiFi extender website to configure everything. Took me maybe 5 minutes to have the repeater network up and running.
Setup Instructions:
Follow the step below to setup this device:
1. Plug the URANT WiFi Repeater into a power socket
2. Find and connect to the new WiFi network named "Wifi-Repeater"
3. Once connected go to 192.168.10.1 in your web browser. This can be done on either your phone or computer. the only requirement is that you are connected to the WiFi network in step 2.
3. Select the mode you would like, I selected Repeater mode because I wanted to extend my WiFi network.
4. Find and select your home WiFi Network from the list.
5. Enter your home Wifi Network password, change the Reaper SSID to something unique from your home network SSID and select the apply button.
The URANT WiFi Extender should now be working and extending your network signal.
I like this URANT Wifi Repeater because it worked and was VERY easy to setup. Two things I do not like are the loss in Bandwidth and the large size that would seemingly take up and entire wall socket.
This device is similar to:
MECO WIFI Wireless Signal Amplifier
Accmor 300Mbps 802.11 n Wireless WiFi Repeater
AMAKE Wifi Repeater 300M Range Extender
NoyoKere Wifi Repeater 300Mbps Range Expander
Seaidea 300Mbps Wireless-N Mini Wifi Repeater
iMeshbean® Wifi Repeater 300M Range Extender
NINISEI Wifi Router/Repeater
F&M Wireless-N 300Mbps 2.4G Wifi Repeater

i purchased that thing and despite being advertised as wifi repeater it is also advertised as wifi booster and the latter is the main reason for why people order this device in the first place. Apart from a nice design and blipping color lights it brings your bandwith speed literally to a screeching halt doing exactly the opposite any booster is supposed to do. Thanks for a useful tutorial.
I have the exact same model it arrived today and I was Dumbfounded because it actually works. And the set up was super easy. I actually thought the set up was going to be very complicated but it wasnt. My wifi icon is at full range and stable I can't believe it.
Thanks alot for your video. i had a repeater for some time but couldnt get it connected! I had found the manual to not be much help. With some trioal and error you got me through it!! Keep up the good video. I found when I put it halfway between my router and PC I had better speed
Thank you for your simple instructions , I had a repeater for the longest time and didn't know how to install it now it works perfectly.

Thank you mate, the only video that made it easy to get working thanks again
Thank you. I am a tech noob and I found this was very helpful.
Thank you sooo much for this video!! I'll suscribe!
Mine just arrived this morning, very quick delivery. Easy to connect to the router. Connected it up stairs in the kids room and used it on the playstation and now my son gets very fast connection and all works great.
hi, I did this several times but it wont work. the issue is it fails to connect. it has very good strength but when it connects it fails/disconnecst? I tried this on a pc and a 2 tvs. same issue. i did a master install of the router. evrything else works fine. any ideas? it also asks me for the SSDI KEY instead of the password which seems weird. i enter it, it says very good connection, but wont connect. ?any ides please.
I'm glad I watched your video. This will save me some money. I don't need to lose bandwidth.

How?
Would you happen to know how to set up a 2nd repeater on the same main router? Thx.
These are really cheap and, essentially, you get what you pay for. I use two in my house to reach distant points and the outside patio. Yes, it degrades the speed but I have high speed to start with. I find the resulting slower speed is good enough even for videos. So, for a very small outlay I get usable wifi where I had none before. Calling them fake extenders is silly. They work well but not as good as much more expensive ones.
thanks, this really helped me!
Really good information, however it doesn't accept my username and password when I went to put it in the 2nd time, how do I re-set the username and password please. Thanks.
You are able to rotate the plug prongs so the device lays horizontal and it DOES NOT block the other outlet
What is the red light that is on? Mine isn't. Thanks for all the info...
Hi. I am trying to change my wifi settings. How do I remove an SSID and add a new one? Thanks!
I set it up originally by following the written instructions, but the speed for my wifi did not improve. I wonder wether I may reset it and do it differently now. Advice, please.
Well, I don't know if by now everybody knows the answer but I think I have it. The speed on both the modem and repeater drops down because they are broadcasting in the same channel so they interfere each other. If you can change it without losing the connection that would improve everything.
Thank you for the set up tips.
I own the same device but how can I integrate the network device with the router
Why did you have it hooked to an extention cord. Most of the devices I have seen or used have you pluging directly to the plug directly.
Got one of these, works great.

what about your bandwidth?
Is there a way to configure in bridge mode and connect an Ethernet cable only printer onto the WiFi, with a WiFi network address, and is able to receive broadcasts. This is needed for Airprint to work on my printer
Great tutorial video!!!! Question: does the power LED light should remain red or green when every is all set up? Thanks.

I so appreciate this! I changed my WiFi and had no idea how to fix the repeater. This helped immensely!! Thank you 😊
Can it connect to the router at 60m range?please reply!thx so mch for this video
A few years ago I got a wifi extender and tried to set it up. I got as far as the admin screen and set up my new password. Then I couldn't get it to work Fast forward to today and I have a new extender but the old network id comes up and I can't remember the sign-on. The reset button doesn't work, and I have a Mac. Does that make a difference?
thanks for video. repeater doesn't appear at all on mobile wifi, can't get it working at all. I think I will have to send it back, very disappointed.
Thank you. You really helped me get it to work properly. It actually increased my speed test is 70.7 and the download speed 25.40

You secure the network by adding a password to your router.. You add the password by going to the admin account like he showed. Should be an option where you add password to router..
i have this, this has lowered my signal so not really as great as it has subscribed.
You definitely talked me out of buying one of these. Losing 80% of my bandwidth?? I'm confused.
What about setting up for Samsung smart TV so I don't have to run a long hdmi cable?
Will this help with my Kodi streaming device or will it not work as well cause of how much this repeater takes up the bandwidth?
Can I use my data to use this for my firestick
Wifi repeater is awesome i gone from 65meg to 17meg speed well worth the money.
what does the "wps" button do on front of the device .. because before I bought it in the sales video it said all i need to do was push that button.
What was the thing u used to turn on the WiFi booster 😖
can this be used with a desktop computer? So if I understand, your download speed only increased 4 mbs?
hi. i would like to know can i hook it up to my arlo base station. cause im not getting strong wifi signal, what are da steps
I have been using one of these for a couple of years, but the router has just been changed, and the repeater is still giving me the old router name. I don'tknow how to make it recognise the new one. I have pushed all the buttons, and there's not much else to do, so I guess I have to connect it with an ethernet cable and see if that makes it reset the router name.
Hello Please 🙏🏻 if I create a new Wi-Fi area with new SSID -- is possible new different password like for REPEATER (NO Like AP) Thank you Michael
Does it make your WiFi faster? And could it help for gaming?
How do I know if it's working? went thru the instructions....didn't change the internet name so I don't know which is connected although I now see a net work with _ext. Is that the connection. However I'm Not getting better connectivity in my back room. Do I put the devise in that room or leave it in the room with the wi-fi? I'm no longer getting wi fi repeater displayed on my wi fi screen. If i'm no longer interested how do I disconnect?
I did everything step by step. It says its all good but my internet says Authentication error. Please help.
Is the urant wifi extender compatible with at&t uverse gateway router BGW210 i'm capt at 20 megabits will it make the wifi faster thanks
Anyone out there? Ours arrived without the protective film on it, and the power light and the third LED blink extremely rapidly, and absolutely nothing else happens, even when plugged into a socket 2 feet from the router.
This idea isn't optimal for most people, but if you were to take an Ethernet cable from the router to the repeater, then you would probably improve the bandwidth coming from it a really good amount.

If you were to take an ethernet cable from the router to your PC, you would boost your bandwidth even more - but the reason for a wireless extender is that it's *_wireless._*

do you lose speed even if you use a ethernet cable direct to a device?
My cellphone needs more wifi internet and also my Rokutv. How to start this please. I received the wifi repeater but the manual is too small to read. Do I need to install wifi repeater in my cell. I don't have laptop nor computer.
thanks for posting this. i have a wifi blast, but plugging it in reveals a solid red light for power and a solid green light for the wps. the lan light is green and flickers, but neither my phone, ipad or laptop ever picks up the wifi repeater as a network choice. do you have any suggestions? i have tried connecting the ethernet cable from the repeater to the laptop, as someone suggested (~7 months ago), but that didn't work either. i will pay you handsomely on tuesday for a burger, i mean advice, today.......
How to reset for the second time ? While attempting to reset, due to poor wifi connections connecting interrupted. Now could not even reconnect to wifi repeater . Connection lost. 😪
I have the same repeater which i use with the AP mode.. I have a 100mbps internet and i lose 80mbps of upload speed.. but oddly, the upload speed is able to reach 50mbps :/

My router is 100mbps and there are 10 thing connected to it which is the reason my console is laggy so will this wifi repeater make it better and not make it lag
Do I still need a wifir router or an existing connection?
Is it possible for the Wife Repeater to increase the speed of a department of plus or minus 100 users, seemingly this is made for 2 users to 5.
I have an alarm system and I think It's about the range.of the Wi-Fi Will this repeater work thank you
I thought that you have to hit the reset button first before you set it up?
