    Great extender, Easy hook up. We needed a solution to get our floodlight camera to work again after changing Wi-Fi. The floodlight was about 35 ft away from the router. We placed the extender in the garage near a window and now have great signal outside.

    This worked like a charm to extend the wifi signal beyond the original signal. I set this up just at the edge of the original signal and it blasted it quite a bit further -- through walls, etc. to a detached garage apartment. Easy setup. My only complaint is that the unit gets very warm. Hot, even. I don't leave it plugged in all the time because of that so it's a little bit of a hassle.

    Plug and play extender

    Including my finished basement , where my office is located, I have four floors of my home for my wifi to reach throughout. I also work remotely from home so I have had issues with holding video calls from my office as the modem & router can only be located on the top floor due to the wiring in my home. You will need to plug it in first right next to your modem and router for it to connect, then you can move it wherever you want. Once I plugged it in I immediately attempted a video call in my basement. Initially I did not notice much difference, however it has seemed to improve over time. None of my video calls have been dropped in the basement office, and another good thing about it is that the app helps you locate an ideal location for the wifi extender. All in all, it seems to be adding some efficiency and speed to our home wifi, and with four floors, several iPads, smart TVs, Alexa devices, smart appliances, laptops, and smartphones. I can't say it is a huge game changer worth the higher price tag (I feel), but it is decent and does the job for sure.

      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 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.

      Thank you,
      TP-Link Support tplink

    We have some Amazon Blink cameras place around the outside of our house. A couple of the cameras in the front worked when we put them up, but stopped working a short time later. It turned out they were right at the limit of the range of the wifi router. Adding this range extender not only allowed the cams to be reliable, they also tended to alert faster when something triggered them. It was an excellent investment. It was easy to set up. We used WPS to add it to the network. We did have to enable WPS on the router, which is the case with some routers.

    Frustrated and Disappointed

    If I were to rate this product solely on its functionality as a range extender I would probably give it 3 or 4 stars. As with most range extenders it functions much better if you've got a wired backhaul. I've also found that it is overall much better used solely at 2.4ghz. I understand that 5ghz has a more limited range, but I've got other range extenders that do 5ghz which I've tried in the same spot to see how this stacks up and honestly, I've found that my devices will become disconnected from this one intermittently while with the others rarely. I suppose if you don't need the speed boost that goes along with 5ghz and are fine with 2.4 this would be fine. I had no problems on that frequency. All that said, I can't just judge this extender on its wifi performance alone because there have been some poor design choices made for it that range from annoying to use (at a minimum) to possibly dangerous at the other end of the spectrum. Upon removing the unit from its box I was disappointed to find that the wall plug is located at the bottom of the back of the unit, is in a fixed position, is only 2 pronged rather than 3. Also the unit weighs approximately 310g (about 11oz) so it's not exactly lightweight. All of this is quite annoying for a couple of reasons. One is gravity. I've found that over time the unit starts to tip forward away from the wall exposing the two prongs of the plug due to its weight. Not great, especially if you have it in a location accessible to children. That can be downright dangerous. Having the plug be 3 prong would have helped with the stability a bit as well as provided grounding. Or better yet, have the plug located near the TOP of the back of the unit! If the plug were near the top I am sure I wouldn't have seen it pulling out of the outlet as much, if at all. This next reason I was disappointed may be more specific to my own situation, but I'm sure there are others like me for whom this may also be a problem. I have an outlet near the top of a wall that I wanted to use for the extender which, for whatever reason, was installed horizontally rather vertically. My older extender, which I had intended this one to replace, had a plug that swiveled to accommodate this so it wouldn't be sideways when plugged in. As mentioned earlier, this extender's plug is fixed in position and cannot be rotated so in order to have it up there in its intended orientation I had to go and buy an adapter to plug into the wall that had its receptacles rotated by 90 degrees. It's an extra expense, makes the whole assembly stick out an extra 1.75 inches from the wall, and is just plain UGLY(see photos). Why tp link? Just why? In summary, it gets 2 stars because while it does indeed extend your wifi range mostly as advertised, tp link's design choices mean that this really a non-option for me.
