- Does it work with any router?
- Yes. It repeats an existing 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz network, so it is not tied to Amped Wireless routers. It needs the router's Wi-Fi name and password to connect.
- Will it slow down my connection?
- Usually, yes. A repeater receives and retransmits the signal on the same band, so expect roughly half the speed at devices connected through it.
- Is it better than a mesh system?
- For a single dead zone it is simpler and less expensive. For whole-home coverage with seamless roaming, a mesh system is the better fit.
- Can I mount it on a wall?
- Yes. It is designed to be wall-mountable, which helps place it where the signal is strongest, ideally halfway between the router and the dead zone.
- Does it support Wi-Fi 6?
- No. It is a Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) device, so Wi-Fi 6 routers will run it at Wi-Fi 5 speeds.
- Where is the Amped Wireless REC33A-CA Wi-Fi Range Extender cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $166.44, as of our latest check.
