5.0 out of 5 stars Works well and easy to set up.

S. · 24 March 2025

Easy to set up, good range and good speed. Hope it proves to be reliable!I’m using it as a wireless access point.Update: the Ethernet port hangs every 24 hrs or so but the wifi stays up. Cycling the power resets it and all is well for a while. The blue light remains solid the whole time.Unable to find support details so will be returning it but will order another and hope it is an isolated event.Shame, it works really well….

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Access Point

L.S. · 27 December 2024

I bought this as a wired access point to increase Wi-Fi coverage to the upstairs of my house, and it works far better than I expected.On my upstairs landing I have a CAT6 ethernet port which is hard-wired all the way back to my main router. The port is next to a plug socket so I was able to plug the BrosTrend access point directly into the socket and run a short ethernet cable between the access point and the port.Set up for the access point function was really easy, with a very clear instruction leaflet provided. There is also a QR code you can use, but I didn't need it as the instructions were easy to follow.I've been using it for 2 weeks now and have had no problems. My Wi-Fi speeds upstairs were 25-40Mbps before installing the access point, but now it's the full 140Mbps that my ISP package gives me. I continue to get these speeds when I'm downstairs too, so it actually has better Wi-Fi coverage than my Virgin Media router.The access point has two bands, 2.4G and 5G. Both work fine with the same output across both bands.There are other functionalities to the product, but I have only used it as an access point so can't comment on them.Some comments I read here on Bolo prior to purchasing mentioned that it can get hot. Consequently, I check it most days and haven't noticed it being hot. It's ever so slightly warm, but no warmer than most plugs. Additionally, some comments mentioned that it takes up too much space on a double socket. I don't find this to be the case as I have a standard 13A plug plugged in next to it and there is room for both.I've been very impressed with the product as it has delivered beyond what I was expecting of it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works great but runs hot

I.J. · 2 April 2024

Easy to get running, 2.4g and 5g faultless, fast and the range seems pretty good. The unit looks good too!My only downside I was pretty surprised at how hot it runs. The front of the unit is quite warm verging hot to touch, so I don’t know what the power consumption of these units are.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very slow Internet extender

L. · 27 March 2024

This item I’ve bought It works, but it’s not giving me the same Internet speed as my router when I plug an Internet cable into it it still gets me less speed .

3.0 out of 5 stars Once set up, it works well with a good range, but ....

The single sheet Quick Setup Guide is hopelessly poor and inadequate and it even assumes a local IP 192.168.0.x address range, which may not be true. Also the model is missing in the online support pages. So here is advice for setup, at least for AP (Access Point) mode.The Quick Setup Guide may work with some routers, but not all. And if it doesn't then setup requires some serious techno-expertise. Login to the router and enable an IP routed subnet on the LAN. This is usually done with a tick box, plus adjustment to choice of other parameters. Ignore the quick setup guide, plug in the device to the power and LAN and allow it to choose two DCHP IP addresses. Find these newly chosen addresses from the router's IP table. One is for login, and presumably the other is for routed clients. Try each with a browser using an IP address (eg 192.168.1.31) directly in the address bar as per the Quick Setup Guide. When the login page appears, set the username and password and continue as per the guide. Now it works!Subsequent login can be done with the same login IP. But bearing in mind a DCHP address is on a time lease, it could change. So it is wise to fix the address by manual assignment and/or bind the IP address to the Media Access Code (MAC) of the device. Then, for subsequent login, a name can be chosen for the login IP and assigned in the local DNS (Domain Name System) or recorded in a computer's "hosts" table.Good luck!. Having made it this far, everything beyond is intuitively easy.Even after setup, with no connected clients, the device opens and closes a web address (port 80) every few seconds. This appears benign, but why it should wish to do it is a mystery. This creates unwanted Internet traffic and fills up router logs. Some manual action could be considered using the router firewall to at least suppress the logging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Appears to being doing a great job

I am not a Technical person, so I was looking to extend my Wi Fi 6 signal into a distant corner of my house. I wanted a Wi Fi Extension and not a new network within a network. (Which appears to be an alternative set-up choice). I purchased this model as it had a 25% discount voucher included in the sale. I first followed the WPS set up instructions and failed to establish contact with the Router. I then followed the IP address method instructions and failed again. So I then used the "via mobile phone" method and got instant connection. I have now achieved a strong signal far away from the Router. ...So Job Done! I did like the easy to follow instructions and even without the discounted price, it is worth the full purchase price. But check to see if Bolo shows any discount voucher at time of purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to set up and faster than BT router

L.G. · 16 January 2025

Very easy to set up and the wifi connection (if you use it as an access point) is faster than connecting to the BT router directly. Although i bought it to cover the top floor that is far from the router and the speed was low, i have now connected most devices to the access point rather than the BT router

Muy buenas prestaciones en modo AP

Lo tengo instalado en modo AP y el funcionamiento es impecable. La instalación muy sencilla.

Wifi acces point

C.V.L. · 13 July 2025

Gebruikt als acces point. Eenvoudig te installeren en in te stellen via smartphone of PC. Wifi 6 geeft een goede dekking van het signaal. Mooie afgewerkte behuizing met goed rechtbare antennes. Tot heden een top aankoop en zijn geld waard.

Répéteur Wifi HQ

C. · 19 January 2025

Répéteur simple à configurer, du wifi 6e génération partout, avec un débit de fou et stable..À la box émettrice, env 450Mbps, amplifié et répété, et dans la pièce la plus éloignée,un étage plus haut et plusieurs murs, j'ai encore env 130Mbps... Alors pourquoi je m'embêterai à tirer des câbles 😁😁😁😁

All Good

It took a little while for the login screen to pop up but once that did it worked as described.

Seamless extension of my network.

T.M. · 17 June 2025

One little corner of the house had a weak spot for the IOT device that lived there. This fixed that and gave good coverage to that wing of the house. Maxes out my 500mb fiber.
