WAVLINK AX3000 WiFi 6 Outdoor WiFi Extender with PoE, 2025 New Model Dual Band 2.4G+5G Long Range Outdoor Wireless Access Point, 6x7dBi High-gain Antennas, IP67 Weatherproof, Work with Starlink

Really helped extend my satellite internet to the back property.

Easy installation, very strong signal. Have this on a light pole outside . My mother in law gets reception 4 houses away .

Pretty easy to set up, I choose AP mode, so you have to have a physical wire to you're main router, but that allows you to name the AP anything, and you can make sure you're items are connecting to that. The wire gives you're primary router the ability to see all those, in my case 7 security cameras. Acts great as a wireless router, with the only wire being the bridge back to you're main router. Trying to make it all one mesh didn't work for me as my cameras would connect to any of the mesh routers. In ap mode, I can force them to use the correct node. Very please with the results.

Works well, good coverage 300 feet away. Mine is on a pole about 13 feet high.

It is very good for using as repeater. I like it

I never could get it to work. The scan bar did do what it said it would do leaving me no alternative but to use email or phone help. Unfortunately being in China the availability of time made it even more difficult. So I gave up on the product. I also wondered about a security issue if I allowed their services into my system

Seemed to work for a few weeks now it is just an ugly ornament. No output signal, no response. It has power and input signal. Not sure how anyone could like this dud. Complete waste of time and money. The app they pretend to make available appears to be nothing but a phishing scam. I’m avoiding this company permanently.

I approached this access point with heavy skepticism since it’s an often-criticized manufacturer, but in the end I’ve been impressed by the balanced functionality and approach to complexity as well as overall quality to provided components. I’ll also note right up front that the unit came with the firmware fully up to date with the latest version from just 2 months ago.The access point is a piece of networking equipment that can be installed in a few ways - whether it is functioning as your primary wifi router (connecting directly to your WAN access cable modem) or is internal to your LAN network as an additional wifi provider (wired access point or repeater). The key differences in the configurations include if you need the AP to be handing our IP addresses (DHCP) and if you will be connecting its ethernet connection back to a network switch/router.No matter what configuration you choose, the AP is powered via power over ethernet (POE). Ultimately this gives a bunch of flexibility because you can use the provided POE injector (includes a power plug and a single ethernet cable) or just a POE-capable switch. Either way - you can place the 110V power plug somewhere convenient and then run a single ethernet cable to the AP. The cable can be up to 100M, about 300 feet, which is typically plenty. In my setup I have a 100ft overkill ethernet cable from the network cabinet in the middle of my house, up into the attic, out under the eaves of my house, connecting to the AP mounted to the back of our porch.The AP is heavily water-proofed - the antennas have rubber grommets and the ethernet port includes a watertight adapter and is on the underside of the unit. The watertight adapter for the ethernet port includes 2 hard plastic parts and a split rubber grommet - you need to completely disassemble it into 3 parts to insert an ethernet cable. Thread the cable through the rounded nut first, then separate the rubber grommet over the cable after the nut, and finally slip on the threaded piece with the “finger” side first so it can re-attach to the rubber grommet. This will work on just about any standard ethernet cable except for maybe ones with extra large boots.Before you hang up the AP somewhere tough to get to, complete the digital setup inside with easy access to the reset button on the bottom of the unit. The wav link website has more helpful documentation than the included papers. The setup process includes a 2-step wizard and interface you access through a web browser, but if you don’t like how the setup is going you can always reset and start over. The most trouble I had was for some reason the Microsoft Edge browser was not loading the website for the AP setup, but Safari and other browsers loaded it just fine.Once configured, the speeds through the AP’s wifi networks were comparable to the networks coming from my netgear router’s 2.4G and 5G networks. The huge difference with this unit is that it’s meant to be outside and allows us to extend the wifi connectivity hundreds of feet into the backyard.
