A portable, simple WiFi amplifier (repeater) which increases your WiFi signal in areas where your WiFi signal isn't strong.
Description: ● Lightweight (only 30 grams), you can carry it and pair it with routers easily. ● No need to switch the hotspot, double your WiFi signal's power ● Special USB power supply unit, the USB can be rotated 180 degree. ● Can automatically detect the connection state and strength of signal. ● Plug and play, no need to install any drivers. ● Can be powered by a power bank or a USB charger.
Note this is the English Version so the app would be in English and not in chinese!
Slightly cheaper than the deal posted before which is now expired!

How does this work will it help with buffering sometimes with my IPTV on my nividia box?

Depends on the cause of your buffering...
I haven't used IPTV but I'm guessing it's a TV streaming service?
so, it'll be down to either the servers you're streaming from, your broadband speed, other users on your network hogging bandwidth or your WiFi signal.
If you look on your shield at the strength of your WiFi signal and it's not great then this may help (assuming the other areas I mentioned aren't the bottleneck).

Thanks don't get bad buffering just occasionally and it's when more people have their phones on connected to the wi-fi. You're right it's a TV streaming service.

I've got 3 kids and there's usually online Xbox gaming, 2 Netflix streams to separate TV's plus their phones... And this is while I'm also streaming from Netflix or my friends remote plex server... Never have any issue. Do you know what your download speeds are like?
I have 80Mb sky fibre but usually get around 65Mb...
If you're limited on broadband speed in your area, then your only other option would be to see if your router allows you to configure QoS (Quality of Service)... This allows you to specify what services or maybe devices get what proportion of your available broadband... I've never used QoS before but that is my understanding.

Yes mate, in effect that's exactly what it does. It basically allows you to give certain types of traffic priority over others. Very handy on complex home network setups but more often where you need to guarantee certain services' quality like say VOIP calls in a call centre business over Youtube streaming for staff on break on their machines ...

Yeah on VM 200mb so usually get around 130mbs. It's not a big problem just wondered if this thing boosted speeds etc Thanks anyway mate.

It bounces your existing network connection . So it's an extender

The description can be confusing. This is "just" a wifi repeater. It won't do magic to your slow wifi, it can actually be slower because it has to relay the data. The idea is to cover weaker area, you put this device in between the weak signal area and your wifi router, it then repeats the signal to your main router.

Remember, a repeater halves the bandwidth while doubling the latency. Still, a slower connection is better than no connection at all!

I'm guessing it's basically a WiFi booster that you can plug into your phone or tablet? Might be pointless since my old Nokia Windows phone can run a signal at half a mile...

@Gollywood @euro this extends your WiFi signal. So if you get a poor WiFi signal you would plug this in and it acts as a booster.

Thanks mate, for explaining what this is. :sunglasses:
