Thinking of developing this into a site where i can promote wireless products, any value in this domain name?

Thanks

Good name,

-Targeted product.
-Reasonable search numbers (not huge but I think ok for a micro type business).
-Probably only needs a small range of products/inventory.

Main negative with a name like this is that it is a tech term that will probably go out of date one day.

Would be putting a simple shopping cart on this & test the waters,

Gut feeling ~ $300.

How will wifi be effected by the rollout of the NBN?

NBN is a non-issue as these 2 are unrelated.

Personally I think you guys have it mixed up - booster is referring to pringles cans, yagis and stuff like that, not broadband - this is home network type stuff searched for by hobbyists. This keyword has nothing to do with mobile broadband at all.

I think people would be searching for repeaters/range extenders & perhaps extra access points. Would definitely need testing though. A poll would sort out what they are looking for pretty quickly. Could be done before building any site.

i agree with snoopy, i would thought it would be product to boost their wifi signal range

I would wonder if anyone can give a new appraisals?? Website developed and ranking top 3 for keyword wi-fi booster, roughly 580+ unique visitor for the first month, Keen to get some feedback on how much I can sell this domain and website.

Bung a www. In front of it so we can just click to your site.
I can see the Future where neighbourhood co-ops boost their individual wifi signals to create seamless access for everyone, without breaking carrier laws.

I just has a glimpse of that future and it was complete chaos.

The 2.4Ghz and 5.8Ghz Bands are already a minefield of conflicting signals, services and interference.
The Power output levels set by the authorities (Not the carriers) are there for a reason.
The only legal WiFi Boosters (very few and far between) are those that have been tested, approved and certified by the regulatory authorities.
Pringle tins & DIY aerials are never approved and can earn you a HEFTY FINE from ACMA.

Difficult to give a valuation without revenue stats but traffic is always nice. Maybe consider drop shopping some of items if the margins make it worthwhile.

Honan's idea is a good one and I wouldn't be surprised to see more sharing popup once the NBN is widespread.

DJUQA is just fear mongering and thinks ACMA is going to chase people around for making pringles cans. It's no-ones business if a small group of people get together and decide to share.

It's no-ones business if a small group of people get together and decide to share.

Actually it is ACMA's business if this is achieved by boosting WiFi signals beyond the regulated power level.
ACMA has complete and total regulatory authority over the entire Radio Frequency Spectrum.
Home built aerials can be radiating signals that exceed the regulated levels and are NOT an approved device under the regulations.

However, distributors and resellers should be aware that if the originally compliant device is modified in any way that could be seen to change the compliance of the device with the mandatory standard (eg. through modification of the antenna or addition of attachments to the device), as this will then be regarded as a new device. Consequently, the distributor or reseller will also be regarded as a supplier at first point of supply to the market and be subject to the ACMA's legislative requirements. This means that a test report stating the compliance of the device with the mandatory standard as outlined above must be obtained and a compliance folder compiled.

A person who knowingly supplies, operates or uses a non-standard device may be subject to legal action by the ACMA.

ACMA can, has and will fine people for exceeding these regulated levels, if it is causing interference.
ACMA recently banned Mobile phone boosters for exactly the same reason. Fines for possession and usage can be as high as $220,000.


Valuation for the name is $200 - $500 to Enduser

Good luck enforcing it DJUQA.

$2-$4 a month revenue? The development has added a grand total of $0 to its value, maybe even negative value if people start doing sums on the revenue and not the name. The site is missing the most crucial element, a business model.

 

[DavidL]

I think it's a nice domain and a good little site.

I reckon $2K end user, $500 wholesale. I'd be a buyer at the latter

On tech terms I'd normally agree with you 100% (hdmi cables will be obsolete in no time) but the term wifi seems to be defying this rule. According to the wiki article "the term Wi-Fi, first used commercially in August 1999" and yet this term is still with us 13 years later and the popularity of this term is now growing with tablets and smart phones.

HDMI dates from 2002. The cassette lasted a good 30 years and betamax 13 years. One day the term will be out of date in my view.

Thanks for all the interest! i am open for offers, pm a offer
