If correctly placed, it does that very well. So that 50% is really only 25% and by the time you get it in a dead spot it may be far less.īut all the Telstra Smart Wi-Fi Booster Gen 2 needs to do is give you internet connectivity at ‘somewhere’ up to a maximum of your NBN plan speeds. If the main router signal is, say 50%, then the Extender retransmits that 50% over its Wi-Fi. Remember the term Garbage-in/Garbage out (GIGO). It takes the available signal strength (bandwidth) from the main router and retransmits that signal over its Wi-Fi. Every time it passes through a wall, door, cupboard or floor, the signal strength reduces by approx. The Government sets Wi-Fi power limits so as not to annoy the neighbours!Īt best it can transmit up to 100/30 meters unobstructed line-of-sight and about 30/10m inside a house. By law, you cannot amplify/boost any RF signal like 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz Wi-Fi.

It supports Wi-Fi EasyMesh (802.11k/v is an open mesh standard) but currently only works with the Telstra Gateway.

You can have up to four boosters that will form a mesh (talk to each other) which could be handy to daisy-chain to extend coverage.

It will not pair to ADSL or Cable gateways. Hint – if you see separate SSIDs you are doing it wrong).

It pairs to the Telstra Technicolor Gen 1.1 LH1000 or Gen 2.0 DJA0231 gateway and takes the SSID/s from there – not it’s own.

But all roads lead back to Telstra – there is nothing on Arcadyan’s website. It has four transmit/receive antennas for 2.4 and 5GHz.

That means Dual-band AC2533 (800/1733Mbps) that has implications later. The extender then adopts the single Telstra SSID so you can roam around the home and not have to log into other hotspots.Īs much as I had hoped that seeing one would reveal all, it has not. It receives both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz signal from the Telstra Gateway and retransmits that signal. What is a Telstra Smart Wi-Fi Booster Gen 2?

Both options include leaving the Telstra gateway in situ and connecting 1) a more powerful router or 2) a range extender like the Telstra Smart Wi-Fi Booster Gen 2.īut remember that the Gateway may also be a limitation in terms of processing power to share that valuable internet bandwidth. You have two options to get a better signal further away. The Wi-Fi aerial signal strength is accordingly lower, and you are flat our getting a strong enough 2.4Ghz/5Ghz signal at 20/10 metres line of sight. The overall speed is AC2600 (2.4Ghz/300Mbps and 5Ghz/2300Mbps), so it is not for heavy-duty use or more than about ten connected devices. These modems are Wi-Fi 5 AC dual-band with four Ethernet ports and a phone port. A reminder that you need to be a Telstra NBN customer with a Telstra Gen 1.1 Arcadian or Gen 2 Technicolour modem/gateway with 4G fail-over.
