    My Great Wi-Fi Investment

    I am so pleased with this Wi-Fi booster. Frankly, I didn't realize that my original booster was failing until I got so many streaming interruptions and failures. The TP-Link was much easier to set up than the original booster. The booster has been nearly miraculous, especially with how much more quickly updates download and install on my electronic devices!

    It is good for wifi extension inside the home for not very big house. Also instruction manual could have been prepared better with little more detailed steps.

    Works well with an Ethernet cable connected from the extender to the computer. Before I used this my Wi-Fi would constantly completely go out and now I have a steady connection. Would recommend.

      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/

      If you would like assistance with any of these steps, please reach out to 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 tplink

      Hi,

      Thank you for your review. The Wi-Fi extender will adopt the same encryption used by the root network. Please ensure your Wi-Fi router is using secure encryption, and that the Wi-Fi extender's firmware is fully up to date using the steps in FAQ 1406 on our official TP-Link website: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1406/

      Our support team is always happy to help answer any questions you may have about our products. Please feel free to reach out 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.
