Perfect for us
We bought this to boost our WiFi in our trailer. It worked so well we bought a second one for our motor home.

Hard to find using the search feature!
I previously had the WiFi Camp Pro II. It worked for ~a week then wouldn't work even though it showed that all signals were great. So the seller replaced and the new unit worked for a couple of months and began doing the same thing. But when it worked, it was really good. The only other option that would come up on my search was the CCrane but its reviews were pretty much the same as the WiFi Camp Pro.So I drove on down to the local RV store and the unit they stocked was the King. So I searched for it on Amazon and it popped up when I used the name as the search term. Why wouldn't it pop up when I was searching for WiFi extender?Anyhow, I got the unit and it works. I find it strange that it actually seems to be slower than the WiFi Camp Pro (when the Camp Pro works!). But it works. And it continues to work. Oh, and the antenna comes with a couple of different mounting brackets so you have choices on how to mount it. The Camp Pro doesn't come with any sort of mount.So it works and I'm happy. For now.

Better instructions
I bought this to use inside my RV so could boost the park signal enough so I could stream on my TV. It does boost the signal significantly. But the instructions are awful. I still haven’t had any luck at getting it set up. Meaning getting everything secured and running properly. So I’m broadcasting my signal all over the park.

Repeater repeats
Was not easy to get it to work at first. After a few tries it finally meshed with the campground Wi-Fi. Seems to be working well so far though.

Worth it!
There is a you tube unboxing video I’d watch that before instilling. I walked though all the steps but it made better since once I watched that. They gave you a few tips. Our barn and house are far apart and now I have wifi at the barn to support out security cameras! I also plan on getting one for our camp that we have on a site at a local campground. So many ppl are on the internet over the weekends when we got it just slows way down. And we o lay stream tv there so make for a boring time if we can’t do music or tv or movies. So going to get a second on next year for there! You won’t be disappointed. I wasn’t!!!

Slow Speeds
I have Starlink. My speeds are fast. Using this as a repeater was a easy setup, but I'm really disappointed in the DL speeds. Speeds with Starlink are inconsistent, but the slowest I ever get with it is 50M down and fastest so far is 147M down.This thing cuts my DL speeds in half and sometimes even worse. I made multiple tests. The best speed for this unit was about 30 meg DL when my Starlink was doing 100+. With Starlink at 50M down, this was doing 20 Meg down. Up load speed were great, but DL were dismal. I tested both the 2.4G and the 5G. Same-O, Same-O. Also, their support is by email. too dang slow for me. They should have a tech support phone line. I guess in today's tech world, that's a thing of the past.

Works Great
Boosted the unreliable rv park signal to very fast and steady levels.

Out of the already OPENED box review!
On our property we have two log cabins with metal roofs, approx. 150' apart. We were previously using an outdoor USB high gain antenna to pick up the wifi signal at the 2nd. cabin from our router in the main cabin, which worked, but the wired connection wasn't very convenient. So I purchased this unit (without the antenna upgrade) in hopes of going wireless at the 2nd. cabin...This item was shipped to us with a label just stuck to the original product box. It also arrived with the box's original seal cut open, and the items inside were a tad dusty. It had all appearances of being used, returned, and resold. So I was not immediately impressed, but, figured I'd at least give it a try.I powered up the extender downstairs from our router, and used the laptop from the 2nd. cabin for the set-up. The computer immediately detected the factory set connection, but would fail to actually connect to it, per the product directions... So, thinking someone probably had tried to set this unit up before, I skipped some steps and was finally able to obtain an internet connection with it. Then I went BACK and set it up with new network names and passwords, rebooted, and it worked! I then unplugged it, took it and the laptop over to the 2nd. cabin, and plugged it in over there. The lights on the extender quickly illuminated for both 2.4 and 5G signals. I flipped open the laptop in another room, and it detected both bands and we connected it to the 5G. Then I turned on the Smart TV, and it immediately picked up the wifi signals so we were able to set that up. The streaming was flawless. Woo hoo! Upon returning to our main cabin, I opened a different laptop which is connected to our original network, and it detected the new 5G signal (but not the 2.4) from the other cabin! I was really impressed with the signal strength.So, for our needs I think this is going to do the trick, without need of the additional antenna. I am going to remain alert for any malfunction though, being that I still believe this was a returned/resold item. But I will be sure to update my review if need be.

Well designed Range Extender and Router.
We were heading to a campsite where I knew the wifi was marginal. Before we left, I mounted the external antenna on the roof and routed the included cable through the upper cabinets. I mounted the Router behind the window curtain - out of sight!Highly recommend this combination.

DO Not BUY!! Serious Design Flaw!
This antenna works great sometimes, however there is a serious design flaw in the way the antenna cable is attached, this will always fail, I am on my 4th unit and again it failed. Customer support denies that there is anything wrong with the units and has no fix for the issue. Cost me over a grand reinstalling and trying to fix the issue.

Easy to install
Product worked as described. Rather eady to install. Bear in mind you need to drill through the roof or side of your rig to get the wire inside. The software set-up was easy too, bur keep in mind I worked with networks for years.I've used it only once so far before storing the rig for the winter. The Wi-Fi signal where we camped was already decent, so I can't comment that much, and hence the reason for the four stars instead of five. The definite advantage is in places where thy only provide one access per rig. This device will allow multiple connections to the Internet.

Wire routing antenna side
Product works well, except for the wire to antenna inside hookup, you have to put a bend in wire that will prob. break it. I drilled a hole in case so wire goes straight in with no bend or tight loop. This will void warranty so caution on doing that.
