My old wireless wi-fi extender of about 4-5years(hard to say exact date) blew out recently. I forget the model. Small black square box with two antennas. I found it years back after reviewing a lot. It was supposed to be great but It never quite did the job as well as the claims. I had constant streaming interruptions. One day it worked the next day not so great. After that model new out on me a few weeks back I looked around and stumbled on this device. After some research on it I decided to get it. I thought I’d have to move it to a different location than the prior model I bought. I assume the location might not have been great. But! Turns out it’s fine in that spot. I’d say the service this provides is exceptional. Especially when compared to another product in the same spot. This signal is very strong. I can steam and use a lot of device on this without a single interruption yet. I’m very happy with this product. I recommend it. For further info if it helps. This is in an apartment that has a very long hallway between the main router and living room. Although my internet’s is super fast the signal is never strong enough to stream in the living room without interruptions or occasional quality loss. This product is very good. I highly recommend.

We have a security camera system and we needed a WiFi extender, tried a different brand but it kept disconnecting which was very frustrating. This extender has been great! I haven’t had to reconnect once. Works great!

A great extender. Awesome signal upstairs and down stairs. Use it with phones and laptops with no loss of connection and speed.

Impressive speeds, but be sure to note that 6GHz naturally cannot travel as far 5GHz (which already has less range than 2.4GHz). If you want to ensure that you are leveraging the 6GHz channel as a backhaul for OneMesh, then make sure you check the Tether app to confirm the PHY speeds your getting on the 6GHz channel and move the extender a bit closer to optimize performance if necessary. Using an AXE5400 wifi card, I’m seeing speeds in excess of 1Gb/s when accessing an NVMe SSD connected via a USB adapter directly linked to my router. At most I’ve seen 1.2Gb/s through 5GHz at 30-40 feet away through a floor. My iPhone 13 Pro Max maxes (ba-dum-tisss) out at around 800Mb/s with this new setup, but expect a bit less under realistic conditions. I’m using a TP-Link AXE300 router with 3 of these extenders and the lowest speeds I’m seeing indoors ranges from 200-350MB/s. My house has thick stone walls that transition into wooden siding above the stone, but the wooden siding has metal sheeting under it. With that said, I will not comment on outdoor performance as my house is essentially a faraday cage that wifi cannot escape and cell service cannot enter. The good news is that the AXE300 router and these extenders support OneMesh, so the TP-Link PowerLine WiFi extender that I already have still integrates seamlessly with this setup and allows me to have usable WiFi outdoors.

This is a solid range extender, although I do find that the mesh capability is a bit slow when handing off your signal from one unit to another. The range is also not very excellent, especially since I recommend lowering the broadcast power to the lowest setting to prevent the unit from overheating. If you keep it on the lowest setting and place it in a good location, everything will work fine. It likely needs additional firmware updates to get the best results.

Router is in my basement and i have the extender set up in my room on the second floor. I have an ethernet cable wired into my ps4 from the extender and i get 290+ mbps download compared to 20 mbps. Took me 10 mins

I got this product in July 2024 to replace my five year old linksys extender. I read really good reviews about this product and I wanted to upgrade so I bought it. I place it exactly in the old spot as the older one. Easy set up and connection to my Wi-Fi router was 100 percent. However, it didn't provide any better connection to my smart TVs, computer or smart voice radio. It gets disconnected most of the day and I have to unplug and connect again to the power outlet. I can't depend on this extender to have a zoom meeting because it doesn't provide fast enough downloads or uploads. I would return it if I could and buy another Linksys system.

Hi,
Thank you for your review. If you haven't noticed a significant improvement in Wi-Fi coverage after installing the extender, we recommend relocating the unit to a position within your home where the router's Wi-Fi signal is sufficiently strong yet far enough from the router to extend its range effectively. Please verify the RE status LED is indicating a solid connection.
We also recommend ensuring the extender's firmware is fully up to date using the steps outlined in FAQ 1406 on our official website: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1406/
If you would like assistance with any of these steps, please contact our support team using any of the resources included with the product or from our official website, and we'll gladly have a Support Agent follow up with you directly.
Thank you,
TP-Link Support

Easy to set up some reading envolved but it works good.

The signal seems to be stronger and found at all corners of the 3000 sq ft home. Simple process to activate unit with an app System has a simple clean look to it.

Seems to work great. No issues. Easy to set up. Son keeps unplugging it and when it gets plugged back in, there is no issues with reconnecting it.

Router works great! No problems since purchase. I wish it could be a little less bulky but for the most part it works.

Great extender for my router. It was easy to connect and worked right out of the box. My house should be easily covered between the original router and this extender.

Excellent extender. Devices received full signal after easy setup
AndyG Posted
Awesome range extender that is upper east to setup and give fast speeds to devices far from router.

I havent had any issues getting online throughout my house since i purchased this. It work great. It was easy to get connected. It was well worth the money.
Dave Posted
This works great. Placed it on the complete other side of my house and it was real easy to get it to mesh with my router. This was a great purchase helped me get a stronger signal on that side of my home for devices to connect to my network

The Extender was worth it. It allowed me to extend my signal to my detached garage so I could have strong enough signal to setup MyQ and Ring Camera. Others I tried simply weren't quite strong enough or had spotty connection issues. Setup was easy and the app allows me to configure it the way I like. It's solid and well built. It's also heavier than most and a bit big. It does take an entire outlet but it definitely does the job.
