Wi fi extender
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this extender based on reviews but it proved to be too difficult to set up. The price point was okay, but for how complicated it is to set up, support should be offered for set up.

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. If you're experiencing difficulty connecting the extender to your router, we recommend setting up the device in the same room as your router, then relocating it after setup is complete. We also suggest re-verifying your router's WiFi password during setup, or if using the WPS setup method, ensuring the WPS process is performed in the correct order. The extender's indicator LEDs will help you determine which position in your home is ideal.
We also recommend ensuring the extender's firmware is fully up to date using the steps outlined in our FAQ here: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1406/
If you'd like help with any of these steps, please send an e-mail with your contact information and a link to this review to USSupportTeam@TP-Link.com and we'll have a Support Agent follow up with you directly.
Best Regards,
TP-Link Support

Let there be a better signal
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Used to boost wifi signal to room at opposite end of house, and floor, from modem, Did a credible job, and Geek Squad installer was very helpful, knowledgeable, and prompt.
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Overall performance
So so
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Mine works great. Call me paranoid but I believe this weak vulnerable wi-fi extender cause my pc to get hack. It creates a 2.5 and 5.0 signals. More modern wi fi extenders take both signals and "combine" them into one.

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. This Wi-Fi extender, once installed, will use the same Wi-Fi encryption and password as your router. So as long as your router is secure, the extender will equally be. The extender's SSIDs (network names for 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands) can be customized using the web interface or the Tether app on your smartphone.
Our support team is always happy to answer any questions you might have about our products. Please feel free to reach out to our free 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.

Posted .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 effectively extend its range. 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/

Good for regular use, poor for gaming
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extends range (good for browsing on cellphone), but decreases performance. Trust me my two kids let me hear it. For gaming (PS4 and Roblox on MacBook) it made things worse for them.

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. Please bear in mind WiFi extenders utilize half-duplex transmission. As a result, throughput when connecting to the extender may be reduced when compared to the router. This is an industry standard for WiFi extenders and is not exclusive to TP-Link.
In your case, we recommend relocating the unit to a position in your home where the router's WiFi signal is sufficiently strong; yet far enough from the router to effectively extend its range. Please verify the RE status LED is indicating a solid connection.

I would recommend this to a friendHaven't noticed a difference in range
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product was easy to configure, however, i really haven't noticed that devices are getting better wifi in areas that this device should have helped with. Thinking about doing the config over in case of user error. Neutral review due to possible installation issues.

Can't complain.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works as advertised, I guess. It does not do what I wanted, but I guess there is no product which would by itself. There is probably too much interference and brick in the way.
