Great for upstairs
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We used this in an upstairs of a house because I’m the bedrooms the WiFi would drop periodically. No issues now.
I would recommend this to a friendDoesn’t really extend a range
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have give this product a year and it just doesn’t do the job. It frequently disconnects and drops, and doesn’t do much as far as extending the WiFi range. If I could return it I would. Looking for a different brand.

Posted .Hi,
If you haven't noticed a significant improvement in WiFi coverage after installing the extender, we recommend relocating the unit to a position within 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.
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 assistance 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 gladly have a Support Agent follow up with you directly.

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/

The device is terrible
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.since I've purchased it, I have not been able to access my internet through this extend and not because I failed to follow the steps. All my lights are on, I am listed as a user on the tether app yet when I'm connected to it, it says there's no internet available. I've emailed the manufacturer and haven't heard back. I chatted with a live representative and that was also useless.

Posted .Hi,
If you don’t have Internet access after setting up your Extender, please re-verify your WiFi password and re-configure the unit. We also suggest relocating the extender to another position in your home where your router’s WiFi signal is sufficiently strong; yet far enough from the router to effectively extend its range.

Quit connecting
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It seemed as if the TP-Link would be easy to set up, but it took more than the "easy" way. Finally, got the dual-band speeds to work. It worked fine for about 2 weeks, then disconnected and I wasn't able to connect it again. Also, it is big and top-heavy...almost too heavy to stay in the electrical outlet. Gave it two stars because when it worked, it was fine.

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. WiFi extenders are designed to increase the area of WiFi coverage within your home; not to increase the speed of your Internet plan. If you require more Internet speed, we suggest consulting with your Internet service provider.
For optimal results when using a WiFi extender we recommend relocating the unit to a position within 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.
