Good video Cody, what would be cool, is if they put a screw hole in the middle so you could screw it to the center of the receptacle so it doesn't get pulled out or removed.

Nice video, thank you! The ONLY reason I would use an extender is IF you are worried about lightning strikes (e.g. connect a barn) - and do not want to run a cable that could fry devices on both ends - I have seen folks use fiber for that exact reason

Thats not bad thinking. There is limitations though this can not be super far from an access point to work

Great video ! i wonder if using a Access Point WiFi 6 Mesh (coke can )would work better because you could mount it higher

Hey Cody, @4:55 - so my understanding is that the extender does not require new SSID's, and just repeats the existing SSIDs from the AP's it's extending (is part of an AP group like any other wired AP)? Specifically, I'm considering this for my sunroom, and do not want additional SSIDs - I'd like the extender to just relay my existing ones from one of my AP's (whichever one gives it the best signal). I have 3 AP's in the house, and all of them are set to broadcast all the same SSID's (are all part of the same group). Would it be better to use this extender or get the Wifi 6 mesh AP? I do have the option to wire up the Wifi 6 Coke Can AP, but with 3 AP's already, I don't want to step on channel toes since I'm already using 1, 6 and, 11 on 2.4 ghz for the other APs. I'm guessing the extender would be on the same channel as whichever AP it's talking to as apposed to the AP mesh which would broadcast it's own channel.

For basically the same price, I would just mount any WiFi access point and run it with a POE injector...far more flexible. Would be a good comparison video.

Yup you can pretty well grab any AP. I think this looks cleaner though you dont have a PoE injector sitting on the floor or mounted to the wall

Very good video; I just have one question regarding the "Meshing" switch. If you don't have any of these and you are using all wired AP's, should you turn off the "Meshing" option, or leave it enabled?

Hey, I would turn off meshing if you are not using any wireless uplinking devices
