PoE Extender Ethernet Repeater 1 Port 10/100, IEEE802.3af for Security Systems IP Camera Poe Splitter, IP Phone Network PoE Signal Extender by CENTROPOWER

I have a Reolink 811a that kept dropping the network connection. I replaced the Reolink camera with another one and it worked fine. Reolink replaced the 811a and the new one had the same issue. Cable was NEW, solid copper about 150 feet. Reolink says the 811a should work fine up to 262 feet. Long story short.... Paid $19.00 to try a PoE Extender and the Reolink camera works fine with the Extender. Zero connection drops. So if you have a connection issue, I would suggest trying a PoE Extender. I already ordered a spare to use if I run into this issue again. NOTE: Reolink told me they would refund my money... Still waiting.

work well

Beware you need a PoE switch to use this, it's only an accessory and does nothing by itself. It made it sound like I could plug this in between two cables to extend the signal and it did nothing at all. Not constructed of metal, but plastic. Kind of big for what it is supposed to do. Set up no good, need much more equipment than this. Connectivity nonexistant without the other device. Not worth the money if it does nothing.

Es lo que esperaba

I hooked this up not thinking for the price it would help my 200’ cat6 Reolink Duo camera to stay connected. It absolutely helped with that issue and video quality was even improved and I was thrilled for 18 days. Then lost camera connection and come to find out this extender was dead. Not sure why it happened we did have some storms but highly unlikely that was the issue. Anyway I am giving it one more chance and ordered another one which was supposed to be here yesterday but some how it was delivered to the wrong location and most likely to never be heard from again! I will say this, if I get another one and it dies I will write a very nasty review so stay tuned!

Don’t bother with an expensive waterproof extender. Get this instead along with a cheap waterproof junction box. You will save a lot of many and never have to worry about rain ruining your connection. I have two 300 ft cat 5 cables connected with this extender and the POE signal is great.

I've ordered about 20 of these in the last year for camera systems, half of them from this specific seller. About the same amount the year before. They are all low quality, no matter who's selling them, and my experience has been about a 50% failure rate within the first month or so. It doesn't matter if they are installed indoors or outdoors in a weatherproof box, it's still a toss up if you'll be replacing them again soon. The problem I have, is that I haven't found a better alternative. Higher quality products I've tried haven't had much better replacement rates, they just have better exteriors and cost more to replace.

This is a non-powered signal booster used for when running Cat 5 or cat 6 for an outdoor camera that does not require a powered signal booster
