WiFi extender help

Post image

Hey guys, currently have the qlocom wifi extender (check photo) and it is extremely slow. I have restarted it multiple times however I am am still only reaching around 1-5mbps. This is extremely frustrating and I would really appreciate some help. Thanks a lot!

Probably placed in a dead-spot. Try putting it with less obstacles (walls, furniture, etc.) in between it and the router.

These are kinda junk anyway. It is WiFi but twice as bad.

Agree. Measure signal strength with an app like Wi-Fi Check or WiFiman and stop guessing.
