  • Xiaomi's Wifi Repeater 2 is a small, USB-powered, network extender / amplifier that can be used to extend your current WiFi network. Additionally you could also set it up as a separate (guest-, or private-) network.
    You can find the Wifi amplifier2 in the TomTop shop here : bit.ly/XMF_TTWR2
    I have been using it around the house for a while now and it seems to greatly enhance the reach and strength of my current WiFi signal across the rooms and even outside. I don't have that big of an apartment so for me it actually reaches all around the house now.
    If you have a larger home with thicker wall you might also consider this Powerline internet adapter that I have done a video about here :

    To all viewers, it's important to keep in mind that by its very definition, a repeater's network can offer up to HALF of the maximum bandwidth. Of course that includes signal degradation up until that location too. Still better than no signal, but keep that in mind.

    • @wilbertng

      Is Asus' AiMesh better than using a Repeater with regards to retaining bandwidth? Also can this device be plugged in an electrical socket 24/7 with the use of a USB Elec. Socket Adapter?

    From what I've read and from experience using WiFi repeaters in the past, I do think switching to a mesh network is the go to solution. Adding more devices on the same frequency has really noticeable effects in our crowded neighborhood. Would be nice to see a cheap mesh router setup from Xiaomi.

    • @xiaomify
      @xiaomify  5 років тому +1

      yeah it all depends on your housing situation and the amount of other networks on 2.4 ghz on the same bands as well. I am sure they must be working on new types of meshing devices as I do think that is the future.

    For anyone coming back here to find out how to connect their Xiaomi Mi WiFi extender Repeater 2, here is the issue that we forget in order to FIND IT in the app. YOU MUST identify your location as HONG CONG in order for the app to find that device. THEN, you can connect to it again. Why Xiaomi never did fix that location thing is beyond me. I can't imagine how many frustrated users there are because of this and the distrust of the product line having left this mess so long. This extender, repeater, is NOT shown using the USA as a location, only Hong Cong.

    • @LucSkyGibert
      @LucSkyGibert 5 років тому

      In my case it ruins the IP reservation done on the router. The IP given by the extender doesn't respect the router table and is totally independant (some time same IP) so no rules can be done on the item connected on the extender... shame! Am I theonly with this behaviour ?

    @starkwedder9787 5 років тому

    I installed the device and made some test. First with my iPad. I went in a place in my house where the signal from my router was a bit weak (two stripes). Changing connection to the Mi Repeater the signal jumped to three. Then I did the same test with my notebook (Windows 10), this time using the Okla speed test to compare. Well, though the signal icon went from two to three stripes showing a stronger connection, but the speed test showed a totally different result, going from 85 Gbps (router wifi) to 40 Gbps (Mi Repeater). Also, I did the same test very close to the router where I expected the repeater to be of no advantage. But I was surprised to find the Mi Repeater to eve halve the connection speed. Do anyone have any explanation of this ?

    damn your videos are good. xiaomi SHOULD pay you to advertise their products because they suck at doing it. are you really coming back this time? i have so many questions about xiaomi lately and i can't seem to find answers like...
    1) what is Mi LED SMART bulb that appears in the mi app? it looks like a yeelight bulb but it's not?
    2) why is aqara's new vibration sensor so USELESS in terms of automation?
    3) should i buy the Aqara's new gateway if i don't use homekit?
    4) what is the difference between Mi Universal Remote and IMI Remote in the mi app? the Mi Universal remote is in Chinese and it seems like Xiaomi couldn't care less to translate it.

    • @xiaomify
      @xiaomify  5 років тому

      I am back, don't worry!
      1. I know what you mean, but I haven't seen that product either. There's a few of those 'mystery products' in the App at the moment. I guess they will come out soon, maybe?
      2. I am doing a video on that one in the next 14 days, it is very limited but it just does what it needs to do I guess: "do something when vibrations are detected".
      3. If you don't use homekit and want to keep on using your Mi / Aqara products you probably have no need for their gateway. Unless you want to pair devices to the Aqara gateway and use the Aqara APP (for some reason?). I could not get it working with Alexa right now, although it 'should be working'.. will cover that soon as well.
      4. The IMI remote is a mystery to me. I have always had it set up with the "Mi universal remote" one, so I have no clue what the difference is. (Perhaps an internationally issues version vs. a local Chinese one?)
