SimpliSafe Now Sells A Wi-Fi Extender?
When did SimpliSafe start selling Wi-Fi extenders?
https://simplisafe.com/wifi-extender
Looks like this is a TP-Link product (with an older logo?) and not a SimpliSafe branded product. Is there anything special about this or specific to SimpliSafe versus other Wi-Fi extenders?

Yep, there's nothing different about the Wireless Extender versus what you'd find at other retailers. We had actually been using these units in Customer Service, as a possible troubleshooting step for users with extreme range difficulties. Obviously we wouldn't put it on our website if it wasn't compatible, but we can say it's been extensively tested with SimpliSafe systems.

Extenders work well. But I think Mesh works better though they can be more expensive. I use the Amazon Echo system, and I like it very much.

I just contacted Simply Safe customer support. In answer to my question of whether this extender works with all Wi-Fi connected devices, the answer was "no, it only works with the SS cameras". Is that true? If it is a generic extender, wouldn't it work with any Wi-Fi devices?

we've had SIMPLISAFE in our house for a number of years and we have an indoor simpli cam located outside the house at the front porch under a completely covered roof – on rare occasions, it drops connection and restarting it with SIMPLISAFE tech service on the phone helps gets it to work for a day and it drops and then he goes and starts and fits until it works continually again. I now see as of February 25 or so 2024 that you have a Wi-Fi extender- will this address my "weak connection" with the camera that is located outside on a wall that has aluminum foil faced cell sheeting under the vinyl siding?
