Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy set-up and works as intended. It has a great feature for turning off the led indicators

I needed a WiFi extender for my basement because devices could not get any WiFi signal in that area. After installing this device in the basement, I am happy to report that all devices that use WiFi work just fine.

I am so happy to have this stuff, it’s good quality, very helpful, and easy to use,

Seems to work ok. I was able to place it allowing to leave 1 outlet open, not sure why some reviews stated it was not possible, cause I honestly did not do anything but to plug. The signal at my master bedroom used to drop off from my laptop now and then and with this Range extender, I have not had that problem again so far.

Does a great job extending WiFi range. I found it easy to set up. Good value

This extender was a great addition to eliminating some dead WiFi spots around the house and was super easy to set up.

Choose to download the app onto your phone/e-tablet immediately after opening. It will shorten the set up time tremendously. Once the app was downloaded, the entire set up time was less than 5 minutes. Works wonderfully with no more dead zones in our house.

For the most part it doing what it is attended for. My boss speaker is still cutting out but my arlo pro2 camera is working better. This device is probably about 100 ft away from my router

Larger than expected but worth it. Quality product for the price. Great range.

When initially set up, I needed to manually connect to the extender but...I was reaching speeds of 350-400MB/s. When I learned how to reconfigure the extender to mirror my current wifi router bands and connect automatically- I lost half my speed. Still not confident that it is working properly

We had a router and an extender that just wasn't doing the job. It's a small house but the metal in the centrally located kitchen was just keeping the signal from going through. We replaced both units with this and the signal is terrific. Streaming video in both ends of the house is now a breeze. No issues.

(This is a review of a free product received by TP-LINK as part of the review program.) This dual--band TP-Link network extender is incredibly easy to set up and requires no special knowledge on the part of the user. All I had to do was plug in the extender, press the sync button on my router, press the large round sync button on the front of the extender, and wait for them to connect on the 2.4 GHz band. To connect to the 5Ghz one, I only had to repeat the procedure. After I had both bands connected to the extender, I could move it anywhere in my house within range of the WiFi network in order to amplify the signal in previously weak signal areas of my house. (The WPS set-up requires close proximity to the router, and if you can't get close enough, TP-Link provides a web browser method of connection that's almost as easy.) I plugged mine into an outlet against an interior outer wall so that I could move an outside security camera that requires an extra strong signal farther from the house. It works perfectly. The extender has three antennae, including one in the middle that can be slid up and down to fit into a tighter location. It also has a gigabit ethernet port to directly connect a device that requires hard--wiring to a router. All you have to do it use the included ethernet cable to connect to the extender's port, and your device becomes wireless and instanty on your home network. Any extender is going to slow the network connection a tiny bit by virtue of the hand-off; however, even when I'm streaming, I cannot detect any lags. Once my device is connected to the network through the extender, it behaves just as it would anywhere else in the house. The connection to my home network has been so far stable and reliable. My only complaint is the size of the RE450. Whether I place it on the top or the bottom receptacle of an outlet, it blocks both. In a house full of electronics and lamps, I resent that I've now lost one of the few places I could plug in my vacuum cleaner. Other TP-Link extenders have plug outlets, and other extenders are smaller. I wish TP-Link had gone one way or the other with this one. For those of us with larger homes, network extenders are essential, especially for streaming or surfing the web in areas far from the router, and this TP-Link version works exactly as it should. You can use it with any brand router (I tested mine with both a TP-Link and a Netgear router). As long as you place it within your router's range -- the lights on the front glow blue when the signal is strong enough -- you will get increased coverage without noticeable lags.

I set it up using the first method in the instructions, not WPS. It took 10 minutes and I was streaming HD on multiple devices in my apartment's dead zone in minutes. Once linked with the extender, the app is useful for all sorts of customizations, especially the LED lights, which can be bright if they're not obstructed from view.

This works great to expand my satellite internet. This helps my WiFi.
