Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got this with my eyes wide open, knew a had a few flaws but also knew that the basic concept was very neat and if they could get it all to work as stated this would by far be a must have, not only for security, having fun with friends, well the list goes on and on. After a lot of trial and error it is working great now. OK, Let me first tell you what I have, I have the Ring Floodlight Video camera, TP-Link AC1900 Long Range Wireless Wi-Fi Router (Archer C9)TP-Link AC1750 Wi-Fi Range Extender w/ Gigabit Ethernet Port (RE450),TP-Link 2.4GHz 8dBi Indoor Omni-directional Antenna, 802.11n/b/g, RP-SMA Female connector (TL-ANT2408CL), Sounds like a lot but it's not. The router settings are simple. There is free software programs out there (Google it) that analyze your Wifi signal quality, RSSI, signal strength and more so when you have everything setup you aim your antennas at the range extender and look at free program to see if it's better or worse, keep doing this until you have best signal, remember Ring Floodlight Video Camera goes from 0-100, the lower the number the better: RSSI (dBm) Signal -30 100% -40 100% -50 100% -60 90% -64 80% -68 70% -73 60% -77 50% -82 40% -86 30% -91 20% -95 10% A lot of people think the higher the number the better, Wrong. I had Ring outside mounted on front of carport, about 45 to 50 feet from router, the new C9 TP LINK from Amazon, Well er, ah, what was I doing wrong, kept Googling and reading and decided I had come this far can't stop now so ordered TP Link Range extender, boy did this make a difference. 2 ways to set up extender, simple way WPS button, push it on router and then push big button on extender or what I did I used WPS but named extender to, it will tell you how in instructions. Even though this was a major improvement I wanted more, after more reading I decided I needed the TP-Link 2.4GHz 8dBi Indoor Omni-directional Antennas so I got 3 of them, but only use two, 1 on each end of router and one that came with router in middle. While reading up on antennas is where I read about aiming them at your device or extender. Man I was cooking with grease now. I thought it could not get any better than this. OK, man was I wrong, completely. Today I moved Ring Floodlight closer to router by moving Ring on this side of carport, 9 feet up mounted on front of house near window, window is 9 feet up to. Mounted Ring, came inside, mounted range extender on window sill inside house, about 2 feet from Ring outside separated by glass window, came to router, just aimed the 2 8dBi antennas at range extender, other antenna straight up, turn on iPhone, Live View and almost fell out of chair, there are no words to explain the difference in video quality. If you do it right, this is a must have. I had not even used free programs yet to test aiming of antennas so I looked at signal strength on Ring App -25. This is the stuff if done right. Good luck. Also if you have ethernet connection and want to use wifi at same time (Not be kicked off wifi upon every reboot, google use how to use Ethernet and wifi at same time, youtube video tells you how to add two things to registry to make this happen, works great, Again Good Ruck.
