Dead zone in the back bedroom?
Buffering on the balcony?
Before you drop $200 on a new router, spend ten seconds checking if a $18 repeater solves the problem.
Four signs a repeater is all you need
- Home > 120 m², split by brick or concrete.
- Smart-TV/PC wants a cable, but fishing Ethernet through walls is a no-go.
- Patio, garage, or kids’ tree-house “needs signal.”
- Budget is tight, patience is thinner.
One plug, one fix
CF-WR301S V3 slides into any outlet, clones your existing SSID, and pushes 300 Mbps of clean 2.4 GHz into the deadest corner. Two 5 dBi antennas give it the reach of a four-antenna router without the four-antenna price.
Setup = three clicks
Plug in → press WPS on router → press WPS on repeater. Done.
No WPS? Type 192.168.10.1 once, pick your network, save. Total time: 90 seconds.
Bonus port
The on-board 10/100 Ethernet turns wireless backhaul into a wired jack—perfect for a desktop, printer, or old IPTV box that refuses Wi-Fi.
Bottom line
If your modem/router combo is less than three years old and speed at the source is fine, don’t replace—extend. CF-WR301S V3 fills the gaps for the price of a pizza, and you still get to eat the pizza.
