Customer Ratings & Reviews

I personally got this device because I have an NVR system in my Garage that requires an ethernet connection. This has worked as an excellent solution for my problems as it is nearly plug and play preventing me from needing to buy a long CAT5e ethernet cord and run it from the middle of my house in the basement (where my router is) to the garage. For reference my home is approximately 2200 square feet and I get a strong connection. According to the app “Perfect signal your extender is in a great location”. Since I don’t have a TP-Link router I’m unable to make this a MESH network so instead it setup an additional wireless network and separated it into 2.4 and 5 GHz bands which I can manually connect to when needed. I get about 50% connection rate from the 5 Ghz band from the middle of my home (in the basement) and nearly full bars for the 2.4 Ghz anywhere. But the speeds do suffer from what I’m supposed to be getting (even when I’m close by) at ~100 down and ~30 up (either band) compared to 364 down 30 up when connected to my main router (paying for 300 down 30 up). If you would prefer you can set it so it has “Maximum Coverage”, “Intermediate Coverage” or “Minimum Coverage”. I have mine set to Maximum but should probably switch it over to minimum as I only really want that connection for the garage. This Extender Router has some really neat features. - Such as the ability to go into the app and share a QR code to your friends/family that they can scan and automatically connect too. It also tells them the Wifi Name and Password if they need to type it in manually. - You can turn OFF the LEDs if you happen to have it in a room that is dark or you sleep. Additionally, they have a NIGHT MODE that when enabled turns off the LEDs automatically during a set period (which you can select manually) and then turns them back on when out of that period. More companies need to do that as this is absolute fire. You can also schedule a time where it will turn off and then turn back on again. - You have LAN settings and DHCP Settings that most people won’t touch. - This can be part of a MESH network if you have the correct Wireless Router (which you need to get from TP-Link). I personally use a different brand (Aeris Wi-Fi 6) and it works just fine by extending my network with a new 2.4 and 5 GHz band. But if you have a supported TP-Link router then it would put it all as a single network and automatically switch to whatever has the strongest signal based on your location. - You are able to see what devices are connected to which bands via the app. Along with block some if you wish. Setup is straightforward and easy. You plug the device in close to your existing Wireless Router and download the TP-Link Tether App (which they give a QR code for quick downloading) upon which you accept the usual permissions and sign privacy policies that nobody ever reads but probably should. Then you create an account and it walks you through the rest of the setup. Which is basically connecting to your existing network, setting up the new network (as it creates two separate 2.4 and 5 Ghz wireless bands) if you don’t already have a supported TP-Link Router for the MESH mode (which you can turn on or off) and then tells you to take it wherever you need your Wi-Fi extended to. Where it will tell you if you have a good connection or not. On the front of the device you have multiple LED’s. When they are all BLUE you are getting a good signal and it is a good place to put it. If some of them are RED then it means the connection is too weak and should be moved closer to your Router. Overall setup was maybe 5 minutes. Overall, I think this is a good device. It has great build quality, setup is easy and straightforward, it has wonderful settings, by thinking of a lot of little things most other manufactures overlook. The only con I have is that my speeds suffer greatly on it. Unfortunately, this is a doozy of a con as this is the main reason for getting this type of device. Due to this I have to deduct a star giving it 4/5 stars over 5/5. I would assume that if you have TP-Link router already that speeds would be a lot better. But for my purposes is more than enough for what I need.

I've tried a few wi-fi extenders with some luck, but haven't gotten much consistent over the years. My in home internet service is a little tricky with other companies modems and extenders, so that has caused a few issues over the years. They use a proprietary modem that doesn't play well with other devices, unfortunately, so most extenders I've used that had to be plugged into the modem or get direct service would require changes in the modem settings (not easy) and being reset every few months if the internet company reset the service or I had to reboot the main modem (pain in the butt). In my two story house the wifi signal downstairs is terrific, but the upstairs playroom doesn't get much of a signal and isn't direct-wired. I had my doubts this little device would do the trick, but I'm happy to say it's worked very well to connect all of our devices upstairs, and at a much faster speed than straight connections do. Out of the box the set-up is pretty simple. You can either use the app designed for the device or go online on a computer for set-up. I highly recommend the app. It's a small app, and walks you through step-by-step set up in a very easy to understand manner. You will plug the device in close to your modem first, then open the app and connect. On a side note, it was nice to have the app handle disconnecting my phone from wi-fi, connecting it to the device and then re-connecting when I was done. Most apps have you do all that manually when walking through setting-up a device that will be connected to wi-fi, so it was a pleasant surprise when the app simply asked for my home network's name, confirmed that's what I wanted and did all the connecting for me. After the initial set up is done you can move the device closer to the area you want better wi-fi in by simply unplugging it, and then plugging it in at a closer outlet. So long as it's in range of your modem it reconnects as soon as it has power, then starts sending wi-fi out. Reconnect your devices and hopefully you'll get the same results I did--2 to 3 times better speed! Seriously, for how cheap and easy to use this is I was really not expecting much, but the signal was almost the speed I was getting from a more expensive mesh system that kept having to be reset. Now, it's only been a week or so--if this develops the same issue then I'll update my review, but for now I'm very impressed with this device. It does what I need it to do while being inexpensive, easy to use and unobtrusive (mostly--there's no wires or anything coming off the device, but it will take up most of an outlet, so you may have to plan around that). Highly recommended!

The TP-Link AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Range Extender is an excellent solution for eliminating dead zones around the house. Setup was simple and quick using the TP-Link app, and within minutes my devices had a stronger and more stable connection. The dual-band performance is fantastic—both 2.4GHz and 5GHz signals are strong, and the Wi-Fi 6 technology makes streaming, gaming, and video calls smooth with no lag. I noticed a big improvement in speed and coverage, especially in areas where my router signal used to be weak. The design is clean and compact, blending easily into the wall without being bulky. It also supports gigabit Ethernet, which is perfect for hardwiring a console or smart TV for even faster speeds. Overall, this extender delivers excellent performance at a great value. If you’re looking to extend your Wi-Fi coverage with the latest technology, this is a perfect choice.

My walls in my house must be steel walls because a signal is hard to make it upstairs in my room. This is so easy to set up and it even shows you if the location you place it is receiving a good signal. The app is easy to use and now my gaming and downloads are so much quicker and faster. So glad i bought this.

Really good product. In an older house the range extender helps the Wi Fi signal penetrate concrete wall and for a signals level dwelling it works beyond expectations.

Great product. We have strong WiFi signal through out our office. Easy set up. Highly recommended product.

Great Wi-Fi Extender. Easy set up. The old one would drop the signal every 3-4 days. This one has had no lost signals in the month that I have owned it. Very pleased.

My internet provider said they would no longer support the Wi-Fi extender that I purchased from them years ago. They have a proprietary setup so you cannot plug in a third-party extender. Of course, I could pay $10 monthly for them to install and maintain a system of theirs. No! So, I started looking at Range Extenders. I ordered the TP-Link - AX3000. Before I installed it, I used my provider's app to go through my house and see how strong the signal was with their Wi-Fi extender. They have three levels of strength denoted by color—green, yellow, and red. Some of my house was green, and some areas were yellow. The front yard was yellow, and the backyard was completely red. There was no signal in the backyard. After I installed the TP-Link range extender, I ran the same tests. The signal strength was green all through the house and into the front yard AND backyard. I had to get about 40-50 ft. out in my backyard before the signal turned yellow. I have had zero issues with the TP-Link range extender and the installation was easy.

Faster speed network and everything its easy to set up.

Very cool concept for Wi-Fi extension and tethering devices to your network. We have a 3300 sq ft house with our router in a bedroom upstairs. Down stairs away from the router we have two TV’s and Sonos audio along with some smart lights. We also sometimes work from our laptops downstairs so we do require decent bandwidth from our home to power all devices. We have three people living here full time all with smart phones and tablets / laptops / smart televisions. Our current internet plan is for up to two hundred gigabytes and testing shows we get more or get less depending. We did not experience drop outs in our Wi-Fi probably because our 3300sq Ft home is two stories so the routers signal travels through everything. Anyways that’s our living situation so we got this Wi-Fi extender hoping that we would notice a difference or at least to make our signal stronger. It was very easy to set up you simply plug it into your router and then you plug it half way between your router and the rest of your home. After testing the signal I determined that we maintain a constant signal in the downstairs area much better then prior installation. We feel comfortable streaming on multiple devices without fear of a drop out. The unit looks nice and is not no I able except at night there is a blue light that illuminates on the side of the unit. The packing was nice and the instructions were simple which I appreciated. I would recommend to a friend and for the price I think it’s good insurance for your homes media especially if you live in a larger home.

Runs very well! Couldn’t get service to our barn until we made this purchase. Made the signal strong enough to give us service to our barn for internet.

I dont leave many reviews but!!! This Is A Must Buy! I purchased xfinity Xfi Pods to help my ring doorbell devices get a better signal. They were horrible did not even connect or help. I googled best extender and this was rated 1. When i got it setup was super fast with the app. It immediately connected and improved the signal. I did have to move the extender around the house to get the best signal example: bedroom, bathroom, garage. I found the garage provided the best reception. There is a test signal option in the app that tells you if your extender is in a good spot. Once i found the golden spot it was perfect and unbelievable speeds. Highly recommended.

I bought this to replace an old Linksys extender that was often losing its signal (as well as the green LED was not lighting). This device set up very easily and quickly using the 'Tether' app from TP-Link, and seems to be working fine, covering my upstairs rooms completely. The AX3000 I am using is extending a Linksys WiFi 5 router located downstairs, and I can confirm that it does work well in that capacity. I doubt that the AX3000 utilizes its WiFi 6 capability in my setup, though, which I did expect. But it does what I needed it to do, so I'm very pleased with the purchase.

I needed a way to get a Wifi internet connection out to the computer in my outside shop, which has sheet metal walls and roof. The shop is about 60 feet away from my router, and would not get a signal at all. I plugged the WiFi extender in close to my router and got it working in just a few minutes using the WPS setup method (took longer for the power light to go solid, than the connection process). After that, I plugged the extender into a inside wall outlet that is about 25 feet from the shop wall. I turned on the computer in the shop and found that I was getting 3 bars on my WiFi connection. Needless to say I am very pleased with my TP-Link Extender. I would highly recommend it.

Setup w2as not as simple as they want you to believe, but after going to the web addre3ss to do the setup it has been fantastic. Was able to pick it up on sale so it was a great value. This is the only extender that works in out home so far and allows for everyone to connect. Not being a fan of connecting non tablet/cell phones to WiFi, this is doing quite well, even with all the televisions and gaming councils streaming off it. I have also found that it covers a bit more area than I actually expected. As an IT professional, I find this to be a good purchase.

This unit really boosted the distance I could get internet. Before part of my multi-storied house was unable at access the internet. Using this eliminated that problem, and extended the coverage to my outside patio. Very happy.

Our main router is in a basement office and have always had trouble with getting signal in the further most, upstairs bedroom for cell phone and things like Roku as well as doorbell camera. This solved the problem and for the first time ever, we have full WiFi signal. We wish we would have bought one of these sooner. It's a bit spendy, but worth it. Even better when you can get it on sale like we did. Very easy set up and strong signal. We are adding another with ethernet connection for boosting the kid's gaming equipment.
