This new dual-band wifi signal booster from Victure, as with all products in the Victure range, is nicely presented, easy to use and works well. There are plenty of rivals out there, some cheaper and some dearer, but this one is well priced at £30.59 and gets the job done with a minimum of fuss and bother.
In the box is just the range extender itself together with a well written and easy to read User Guide.
The point of a device such as this is to boost the range of your wifi network either to extend the range or to target it to a black spot or area of poor reception. To do this you have to position the range extender midway between the router and the area you need to cover, do not place it actually within the black spot or too close to the end of the current wifi network. It needs to boost and extend an existing good signal, not struggle to detect a poor one.
This device works on both the older 2.4Ghz band and the newer, faster but less powerful 5Ghz band and can boost either signal. The booster can be used either as a wifi extender or as an Access Point to give a wireless connection to an existing wired network.
Setting the device up as a range extender can be done either by pressing the WPS buttons on the extender and allowing them to connect automatically or using a phone or computer to set up manually. I show how to do this in my unboxing video but put simply, just plug in the range extender and wait for the front LED to flash red and connect to the wifi network it generates and then just follow the instruction on the page which should automatically pop up. If you need to configure it entirely manually, let the network start and connect to by going to 192.168.10.1 with your web browser.
To connect to it as an access point, connect the device to your router or modem using an ethernet cable and proceed as before. You will be presented with a web page asking you if you wish to configure the device as a range extender or Access Point.
When accessing the web portal using your browser a wide range of detailed settings can be configured and the network performance monitored. However, most users will never need that and hopefully once configured that first time there will be no need to worry about it again.
Performance seems fine and the device does the job well. Frankly, I have found most network extenders of this sort to be pretty much of a muchness and this one performs just as well as any of them but offers an ease of setup and well-designed web interface which many lesser rivals do not.
This is a decent quality range extender, well made, works well, versatile and easy to use with not much not to like.
