So I have upgraded my unifi downstairs to 100mbps.

Problem is, my room upstairs cannot seem to detect the 5G version of the connection.

Can anyone recommend a decent wifi extender?

*the line only able to be detected by my 5G phone, and not my Mi Box/ Laptop.

Or is there another device that I should have gotten?

Any mesh
Or
Cable from downstairs, put another 5ghz router upstairs

Nowadays mesh je. WiFi extender is so 2000s

Deco m5

All 200++.... seems out of budget for now 😅😅

mesh or if your old router can do wifi bridging

i thought Unifi got free mesh.. last time they called me whether want or not but need to tie 24months again...

Just use 2.4ghz.

It has higher penetration power

Xiaomi 5ghz extender. 100mbps no issue

buy a 5ghz usb wireless adapter around 30-50

How big is your house? Where do you put your router?

Sometimes you only need to reposition your router to get better coverage. I only need a single router for my 20x70 double storey house.

1 pack should be enough right?

Get 2 reddy for racin...

Vrooooommm...

I have tested Totolink EXT1200 extenders. Cost RM115 back then. It works. But you can only choose to extend either 2.4ghz or 5ghz channel only. Its coverage is about the same as a basic router Wifi by itself. It cannot do well at 3rd floor.

Recently got chance to try out TENDA NOVA MW3 2 pack. This one coverage really good even on 3rd floor house. It is also dual channel. Speed seems to be lower once it got connected to the 2nd unit. But signal strength is high. This one cost about RM200 more or less. My friend asked me to test configure this set because he could not get it working in his house. End up found he plugged in to Unifi IPTV port that did not get the correct settings from router to work. 😂

I use 3

9k pulls perfectly everytime....

Unleas connexion down...

i bought 5g wifi extender 1200mbps from shopee..
works well..
previously couldnt get 5g bcoz too far. now with the extender, able to connect 5g,...

If you subscribed to UniFi, you should be able to subscribe the additional mesh for RM15/month for 24 months.

That's what I did and my house have no more dead zones.

thanks, this is it. i did applied with unifi instead of buying myself.

thanks all, seems like mesh is the best solution instead of extender
