Original product description for reference:

The JEFA Tech Repeater XR PLUS uses a long range outside antenna to relay the signal from a remote WiFi hotspot to provide Internet to all of your devices. A great solution for strong and reliable WiFi coverage in your RV, Boat, or Outbuilding!

JEFA Tech XR Plus Repeater for RVs or Boats

Features:

Creates a personalized and private WiFi Hotspot for all of your devices
Utilizes a durable outside antenna to connect to the remote WiFi hotspot of your choice
Easy to configure and use with your smartphone, tablet, or computer
No software to install
No antenna pointing required
Outside antenna can be set up temporarily or permanently mounted
Perfect for RV's, Boats, and Outbuildings such as workshops

THE REPEATER XR PLUS WIFI SOLUTION: An active, amplified antenna on the outside of your RV, Boat, or Outbuilding, with a clear "line of sight" to the WiFi signals around you feeds the WiFi signal into your inside WiFi access point which gives you your own personal WiFi hotspot for all of your devices. You connect just as you normally would with your device's built in WiFi. There is no software to install. It works with all operating systems (Windows, Mac, Linux, iPad, Android) Multiple devices can connect to the repeater at one time allowing you to share the connection with your family or friends if you wish.

Everything you need is included:

Outdoor active durable fiberglass WiFi Antenna with amplifier
Indoor WiFi Access Point to provide WiFi to your devices
50 Feet of "No Loss" Shielded Cat5e Outdoor Rated Cable
120 VAC Power Supply (12 Volt DC options are available separately)
Flat Mount hardware including right angle adapter, clamp, stainless steel screws
Instruction Manual
USA based tech support via phone or e-mail

Setup and assembly in three easy steps:

Mount the active WiFi antenna outside
Route the cable inside to the AirGateway and plug into power
Connect to the Repeater's WiFi signal and follow the easy instructions to scan and connect

COMPATIBILITY / SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: There is no software to install. The repeater is 100% compatible with any WiFi device including laptops, iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, WiFi Printers, Roku, AppleTV, FireTV, Chromecast, etc. If it connects via WiFi, it will work!

DISTANCE / RANGE: This by far is the most commonly asked question. Can you connect to WiFi access points several miles away with this equipment? Yes, you absolutely can. However it is important to understand that there are many variables and conditions involved in order to get this kind of range. Most of the time these conditions are out of your control. Your optimal conditions will be that the source WiFi has an outdoor antenna with strong amplifier and there are little to no obstacles in between you and the source WiFi antenna. In this case, connections spanning miles are possible and realistic. When you start adding obstacles such as buildings or trees, the range quickly drops. Also, trying to connect to a "home" WiFi router inside a home or office building is difficult for any equipment (not just ours) due to the walls of the building blocking the signal. It is not realistic to expect to connect to a public WiFi hotspot inside a McDonald's or Starbucks from a mile away, for example. A connection to a McDonald's, Starbucks, or similar would only be possible if you were parked in their parking lot.

WHAT PROBLEM DOES THE XR PLUS SOLVE?

THE PROBLEM WITH RV's: WiFi is a "line of sight" technology. The walls of your RV block the campground's WiFi signal from getting inside. There may be another RV parked next to you that blocks a direct line of sight to the campground's WiFi antenna. Portable devices also have relatively low power WiFi radios in them which make their range and ability to connect to a far away hotspot limited.

THE PROBLEM WITH BOATS: WiFi is a "line of sight" technology. Your boat is low on the water and in many cases your cabin is below the water line. WiFi signals will bounce off of the water and don't go underwater at all. You also may be on the hook or mooring ball some distance from shore. You need an antenna up on the deck or up on the mast where it can catch the WiFi signals from shore and give you maximum range.

THE PROBLEM WITH OUTBUILDINGS: WiFi is a "line of sight" technology. The walls of your outbuilding block your main building's WiFi signal from getting inside your outbuilding. It is first important to make sure your main building is getting a strong enough signal outside. If you can get a usable signal outside your outbuilding, but not inside, this solution will work to bring it inside! If your signal outside your outbuilding is not very strong, this solution may not be enough and you should contact us first so we can help you with the best solution.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE XR PLUS AND THE XR?

The JEFA Tech Repeater XR was introduced in 2015 and utilized an outdoor "PICO" unit that was in a hard plastic case and used a plastic "rubber duck" antenna". The XR PLUS was introduced in 2018 as an updated version of the XR with an aluminum enclosed outdoor WiFi bridge and durable fiberglass antenna. The XR PLUS also has vertical and flat mounting options whereas the XR was only easily mounted vertically. The XR and XR PLUS are functionally the same.

Upgraded from original JEFA Tech WiFi Repeater for RV's

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with your upgraded system. I used it for the first time today at a rv park with pretty poor wifi signal and all I can say is WOW!!!! The set up was very easy. I did do the initial set up at home but doing it in the park was a breeze. Thanks so much.

Wireless Repeater

First of all I would like to give a Big THANK YOU to Melinda for the best customer Service I could ask for knows here products and went beyond what I could ask for even though she could of sold me other things that I did not need when I asked about them but told me I would not need them I respect her for being so honest and getting back to me with all the info I asked for as for the product it is a great repeater I have it on my fifth wheel and I now pick up so many WIFI signals and its even faster than connecting to them directly and never have a problem with it dropping a signal it always on and alive and it was so easy to install no tools required and so was the setup and was even told to call and they would walk me through it on the phone ifI liked what a great product no wonder I keep buying from JEFA TECH. I could not ask for more between the product and all the people at JEFA TECH thank you again Melinda for all your professional help.

My WiFi Problems are gone!!!

I just want to say that this is worth every penny!!! We are seasonal campers at the same campground and every year I have issues each year when I come down. Well this year it got even worse, they changed the settings and I could not connect my regular extender to the closest repeater in the park. I had to pick up the one at the main office, -94dBm signal strength. So it sucked and once these trees come in Im screwed. The hours spent on the phone would have been a lot better spent setting this bad boy up. I bought this particular setup because it says that it did MAC address cloning. I didn't even need to do that. I plugged it in, put in my settings, connected to the normal park repeater and boom I have WiFi again. Actually now I pick up every repeater in the park!!!! Don't mess with any other system out there, this is exceeded my expectations and wasn't anywhere near the price of a bunch of the others.

Thank you JEFA!!!!

Great unit & service

Have been using ours in our 5thwheel now for 2 months. Just recently mounted the antenna permanently on the roof. It has certainly improved the connectivity at the RV parks we visited recently. The test will be when we return to a park we’ve stayed at in the past.
Customer service has answered the several questions I’ve had promptly and efficiently.
Highly recommend!

Excellent Customer Service

First and foremost a big THANK YOU to Melinda for her super customer service and patience with my questions before and after purchase. Super fantastic customer service. So refreshing to experience this level of customer service that is so lacking in today’s world.

The JEFA Tech WiFi Repeater XR Plus is performing beyond expectations. I am able to see 13 WiFi signals of sufficient signal strength (and several more below the 10dB threshold) here at our rural property. Properties here are at least 5 acres in a heavily forested area, which can severely attenuate WiFi signals . With this level of performance here at home I am sure I will have no problem this year at previously troublesome camp grounds

Can’t wait to take the RV out this season to actually use camp ground WiFi.
