This extender has been a game changer at our house. We suffered from glitching internet TV and were to the point we were going to change carriers. Once we installed this extender, it fixed all our issues. It was easy to set up and I’m not techy!

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.

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.

I purchased this after moving into a bigger house where the internet router and modem signal does not reach throughout the entire house. Set up is incredibly easy and once it is calibrated you can move the device virtually anywhere throughout the house as long as it catches a strong enough signal to the modem and router to then push it's signal reach farther. I has options for both 2.4hz and 5hz ( 4g and 5g ) and works perfectly for a multitude of devices on it all at the same time. I have had it for years now without any issues. I would seriously be doomed in my household without this thing.

I love this product. I was able to get wifi from a local warehouse store from across the freeway. This product rarely gave me any issues and was very simple to use. I recommend for anyone who is just trying to setup a strong connection at home.

Working like a charm - we needed a better signal at one end of the house and the computer was able to run updates incredibly faster than before. Very easy to set up as well.

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.

It works great with no issues. I bought 2 of these and connected both to my router through the “tether app”. It was quick and easy. No more dead zones. Just follow the directions and you’re good to go.
