I found the BT 11AC WiFi extender very easy to set up and it solved a not spot problem. The LED signal strength indicators make determining a suitable midway location for the extender a doddle. Its receiver appeared to be better than that in my HP laptop as I found I was able to locate the extender within the area where my laptop was struggling to obtain a signal from the BT hub. Having set up the extender the next step is to log onto its signal. When within the area served by the extender on your laptop etc you need will need to search for networks and log onto the extenders output. The extender uses the same ID as the BT hub preceded by EXT2. The logon password being the same as used to log onto your BT hub. I bought the BT 11AC refurbished from the-phone-outlet it was as new at a nice price and with a 12 months warranty. I am very pleased with my purchase. It solved my not spot problem and was easier to set up than other extenders that I have set up. Read full review

Easy to set up using WPS. I had to download instructions but fairly straightforward. I had a BT Dual-Band adapter before but this suddenly stopped working - a power supply failure probably. The only disadvantage of this one is that it displays the extended Wifi as two extra SSIDs (i.e. network connections) and you have to put in the passwords for these on each gadget or device using them, a bit tedious, whereas the previous version did not. It uses a lot less power than the BT Whole Home Wifi that I had on trial (which uses 20W for three discs, i.e. about £20 p.a. to run), and works just as well in our house.

I had a specific issue. An old Sky Wi-Fi link unit, hosting a Sky+ box, would not talk consistently with a new BT Superhub 6. I needed to get an ethernet link to the Sky+ box via Wi-Fi. Powerline was not possible as the Sky+ box was on a different ring main. The Wi-Fi strength was not the issue. The BT 1200 extender has an ethernet port for configuration. This port can also be used to hardwire a device. Worked like a dream.

I found this item easy to setup and it has improved my Wi-Fi in that part of my home when before it would often trip out. Not cheap but I purchased another make much cheaper for the other end of my home but found it difficult to setup and most importantly not a secure Wi-Fi and photos etc don't load up. Again you sometimes get what you pay for

If you have one of the BT dual-band routers that fails to do what the box claims and you can't even get a signal in the next room the 750 version of this extender is a far better and cheaper purchase. If you have multiple floors in need of a boost without resorting to Cat5 then this 1200 extender is a very good solution. Both models are very easy to setup. True plug and play. Just flick the switches to the required settings and press the Router WPS button and then the Extender WPS button and the devices will sort themselves out. Excellent products. At either 2.4 or 5 bands.
