大约一年前，我曾见过来自Edimax的类似产品，那是一种在房屋或建筑内扩展WiFi范围的绝佳方式。这款产品更为简单且价格更低——一款可直接插入墙壁插座的无线-N WiFi中继器。
它的基本作用是扩展您家中的WiFi信号范围。因此，它会接收您当前已有的WiFi信号，并将其增强至房屋或建筑的各个角落。
该设备还配备了一个标准 LAN 端口，可通过有线共享互联网。这对我尤其有用，因为我在屋内使用 WiFi（包括台式机），而每当我需要有线连接时（例如我的 HDX 1000 媒体播放器需要通过 LAN 插接），我只需将无线中继器靠近该设备并经由 LAN 端口接入网络即可。
此设备设置非常简单，几乎即插即用。您可通过 Web 管理界面（本地 IP）管理该设备，按照向导操作，仅需两次点击即可完成配置。它支持加密网络，传输速率最高可达 300Mbps，并可选择克隆原始接入点 (AP) 以创建独立的接入点。
这款商品在Sulit上的售价为Php2,180。请在此查看该 listings 此处。

Merry Christmas!
Does it say how far the range will be? I definitely need a router repeater cause I stay next to the house of my brother that has internet connection.
is it possible to use a lt of repeaters to lengthen a wifi connection? or we can only use one?
This is good but make sure electricity doesnt fluctuate
There are some other branded ones but the reviews are not that great! Especially when it comes setting it up. I might recommend this to my relative. Her house has a lot of dead spot.. specially on the second floor..
Why not use aluminum foil in boosting WiFi signal? haha You’ll save a lot more.. XD
Most modern routers don’t have a physical antenna tower anymore…
i usually buy ENCORE products in CDRKING stores :)
This is actually a made in china product. its also available via aliexpress for $34 with free shipping :)
Very nice. How smart are people to think these days to find resources.
Good Discussion…
@someone I’ve been a fan of linksys products for more than a decade now. I’ve been using my router 24/7 for several years now. The only thing I really don’t like about my current Linksys router is its coverage.
Speaking of coverage…. my old Linksys router is the WRT-350N. This was one of the early Wireless N routers with gigabit ports that came out 3-4 years ago.
Signal coverage was decent or so I thought…. I recently purchased a netgear dual band wireless-N router (with internal antennas at that). I was surprised that the signal strength to be stronger than my old Linksys router. I guess 3 years really does make a difference in terms of technology advances.
BTW, I do like Netgear devices too, I used to have a DSL modem/router in one device 6 years ago. It never failed me as well….
There’s another gadget using the electrical circuit on our walls to transfer the DSL signal to practically all electrical outlets in our home. It’s the BOPL (Broadband Over Power Lines) which has been planned by MERALCO… http://juntariman.wordpress.com/2009/03/11/the-boardroom-war-on-broadband-over-power-lines/
Good concept. Never hurts to have more competitors to lower down the price for the end users.
However, this is different from what the article is all about. Abe’s device extends your local WIFI network’s range. Regardless of if you have a broadband connection or not.
BOPL seeks to offer broadband internet access over your powerlines. You would still need some sort of routing device I would imagine, to get your LAN properly hooked up to the net in order for it to work (i.e. phone DSL requires a modem and eventually a router to distribute the internet connection within your network)
You can configure a router to be an access point with the same SSID of your primary WIFI router. I have done it using my old linksys router and it works fine.
The major difference is you need another LAN port and cable running from your primary router to the old router cum access point for it to work.
What abe is showing is a repeater that does not require LAN cabling of any sort to make it work. It just retransmits your WIFI signal and in theory expands your WIFI range.
@Macjune – I bought an Encore router/repeater from CDRKing a few months back. It died after 3 months of use. I personally won’t be buying these kinds of gadgets from CDRKing. Better to get a more expensive brand but you are covered by a 1 yr warranty. Check out Linksys’ repeater. It’s a bit more expensive than what Abe has shown but it is a Linksys. I have never had any problems with Linksys devices.
I was using a Sapido for this but after being on for a few days it suddenly stopped working…
Does this have warranty? I hope this won’t overheat if plugged 24/7
expensive when you can buy another router (tplink) and configure it as an access point.
I agree that some cdrking products are a waste of money but there are things that are quite OK… for instance the IP Cam.. I have 2 from cdrking and one from Swann. The ones from cdrking (rebranded Apexis Cam) outlived the Swann brand after 3 or 4 years of use… also I find those from cdrking better. For the wifi repeater, I don’t have any experience, that’s why I’m asking. If Vergel is the seller, definitely I want to get more details as I wanted to get one…
CDRKing, it’s a place where you can buy rebranded China products with warranties..
It’s true that CdrKing products are not as sturdy as the branded counterparts, but with proper care they can compare to branded ones. I remember when two PLDT personnel came at our house to replace our broken modem were amazed to know that the Wireless router that I’m using which I bought from CdrKing has been running almost 24/7 for more than 3 years without a hitch.
@macjune
maybe vergel is the one selling this in sulit that is why you are defeating his purpose of advertising. i am also curious about cdrking’s repeater and i think nothing is wrong asking about their products…
Wow this is great! Any router would work for this?
Macjune – cdrking = garbage. 90 perce of things there are rebranded old shi&@. If you want to risk your hard earned – be my guest.
I personally will stick to branded.

I personally will stick to branded. That is where I think verge was coming from.
yup, CDR king all garbage, pag gusto mo ng mura na pag nasira eh tapon agad dun ka bumili, my previous boss (chinese) ang hilig dun bumili tapos panay sira naman, para syang praning!
Vergel, how? I’m merely asking for a comparison with other Wi-Fi repeaters, most particularly the ones being sold at cdrking. Branded ones may be better at times but then again, there are those unknown brands that does the trick too….
sorry macjune, but i think your comment defeats the main purpose of this article. :(
I saw some repeaters at cdrking. Any thoughts about it?
This was voted one of the cheaper wifi repeaters http://wifirepeaters.net/cheapest-wifi-repeater/ but it looks like a case of get what you pay for. I have been trying to get my network boosted with it and it barely reaches into the next room on any channel!
