Has anyone actually tested the range claims on their wi-fi extenders? What sort of experience have you had?
I am a little unsure of how to buy one of these. For example, my <3 likes the AllPro RV Wi-fi Range Extender on Amazon, which is claiming a 15 mi range, but this seems like a bogus claim to me. While I can believe it can *detect* a Wi-Fi signal 15mi away, it is something altogther different to reliably communicate with it. Would I not have to point my antennae at a location analogous to the size of a quarter, a football field away? We called the manufacturer and got an 'idk, I just make the parts', which was not unexpected I guess.
Has anyone ever experienced a good connection with anything as far as 1 mile away with any wi-fi extender? 1/4 mi?
Thanks!
