I was really hoping this would work for me
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am lucking to live in a city that has invested millions of dollars in creating its own fiber optic-based ISP. The service is excellent and speeds are great. My router is located in my second-floor office but my home theater is located in my basement so coverage is weaker. The house including the basement is 4200 sq. ft. The ISP offers a solution that solved this issue however at a monthly cost. I was really hoping this TP Link extender would allow me to improve my coverage and be able to eliminate the monthly cost of my current extender. The TP Link was very easy to set up by loading their Tether app and placing the extender close to your router and following the directions in the app. Once the extender is connected you can then reposition it to improve coverage in areas where you need it. I first disconnected my existing extender so not to interfere with the TP Link. I initially installed the TP Link on my first floor and ran speed tests in both 2.4 and 5 Gig in my basement with no improvement. As a matter of fact, the speed tests showed lower speeds than not having the extender connected at all. I then installed the extender in my basement at multiple different locations and had the same experience. The app was showing the extender was getting a strong signal but no matter where I placed the extender I was getting the same results. The speed test results showed slower speeds with the extender connected. I then placed the extender in my master bedroom next to my office and router and got the same results. This extender did not provide any improvement in coverage or speed no matter how close to my router it was placed. I also noticed it got extremely warm. I don’t know if this has an impact on the performance or not. In the end I was not able to get any improvement and went back to my existing extender and will continue to pay the monthly fee. The good news is our ISP is so reasonable that the added cost of the extender isn’t really noticeable.

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. Wi-Fi extenders utilize half-duplex transmission. As a result, throughput when connecting to the extender may be reduced when compared to the router. This is an industry standard for Wi-Fi extenders and is not exclusive to TP-Link.
In your case, we recommend relocating the unit to a position in your home where the router's Wi-Fi signal is sufficiently strong; yet far enough from the router to effectively extend its range.
If you'd 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,

Works great
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for the deadzone in my house. Easy to setup up and enjoying it. Went from 10mbps to 200 mbps
I would recommend this to a friend Great Replacement Alternative
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a Dual Band WiFi Extender for our home and this product had the best reviews and value for the money. The installation was somewhat difficult being there wasn't readily available install instructions provided. The unit is top heavy and has a tendency to fall way from the outlet, so, I attached double faced tape between the extender and wall outlet and the install was more secure. Once the install was complete, the WiFi Extender works great. I would have given 5 Stars if I didn't encounter the install hardship, otherwise, I feel this unit is a good choice.

Posted .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 contact 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.

Posted .Hi JesusM,
Thank you for your review. If you haven't noticed a significant improvement in Wi-Fi coverage after installing the extender, we suggest relocating the unit to a spot in your home where the router's Wi-Fi signal is strong but still far enough away to extend its range effectively. Please check that the RE status LED shows a solid connection.

Finally something that works
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my apartment since my bedroom is at the complete opposite end of the apartment from my router. I tried 2 other extenders but they both constantly failed or needed to be reset. This solved the problem and consistently works well - I can now easily stream on the opposite side of the apartment!
