Hawking Technology Hi-Gain Wireless-300N Smart Repeater Pro (HAW2R1) Review

I was concerned about trying this when reading reviews of these things and the problems people seem to have. But I took the plunge because we live fulltime in our RV and are fed up with bad wifi signals (especially when some other wanna be wifi "expert" decides to help out the RV park owner and "tweak" the system, messing it up for everyone!).

I ordered it, then went on line and downloaded the manual from the Hawking Tech site. My wife and I read the manual through several times while waiting for it to arrive (we read fast, it only took a couple of days to get it). The manual can be confusing until you realize it is telling you first the simple steps, the how to make the step more complicated, if you really want to; then on to the next step in simple form, then the complicated way to do that step, and on and on.

It arrived, we got the manual open on the Fires and followed the instructions (yes, ladies there are men that actually read and follow instructions, and yes, men, there is at least one woman in this world that reads and follows instructions). My wife and I decided to follow the KISS principle when setting it up (Keep It Simple, Stupid) and we were up and running in no time. We "tweeked" the security to our liking (if you are next door to us in an RV park, you will see the signal and it will appear to be open, but you still won't be able to access it! (BUY YOUR OWN!)

Signal strength for the parks Wifi to the smart repeater is 83% where for the old adapter we had it was only about 25% (even before the "expert" tweaked it, after he "fixed it" the signal strength was about 10%).

Without the manual, we might have had more problems (for example, the reset button has to be held different lengths of time depending on what you want to do: READ THE MANUAL if you need to know).

How far will it reach? I don't know, but the antenna is very directional so you will need to try moving it very little in each direction and try different spots in your home or RV to find where it works the best.

UPDATE: Several months now and in a different park. We added the HAO15SIP to this setup (it is an outdoor antenna) because we are in a VERY long RV park with a really poor wifi system. Works even better now. This has been a great addition to our toys!

UPDATE: October 2013- It is still working extremely well after several years of bouncing down the road in our RV. Some reviewers have complained of it "dropping out" and them not being able to get it restarted. The problem could very well be the signal coming to the repeater. It needs a good signal to produce a good signal. In other words, if the internet source you are trying to repeat is garbage, all you will do is repeat the garbage. We have been in parks where they were using "b" routers, which are ancient and do a lousy job of broadcasting a good wifi signal, so even though this repeater could see them and would repeat their signal, the "wifi signal" kept dropping out. Why? Because the original signal kept dropping out.

Two bits of advice I would give: 1, get the manual and read it! and 2, learn everything you can about wifi to best utilize this wonderful piece of equipment. We still rate it at 5 stars!
