      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,

    I gave it 4 stars because the 6g doesn't seem to mesh as easily as the 2.4 and 5g. I get 6g where I didn't before but in the setting it's kept on it's own network. I don't have to manually connect to get the 6g but it's still separate and it shows up as 6g not 6e.

    Positioned as repeater with full signal from the modem/router and with full signal to device and get low speeds (around 130 or so Mbps) to any individual device tested. Speeds from those devices directly to modem router (on WiFi) are generally closer to 1 Gbps. Very slow! I haven't tried them (bought 2) as access points yet.

      Hello Joss.

      Yes the primary function of a Range Extender in a normal environment is to improve converge, not speed. In most cases the extender will provide up to 50% less speeds then when connected to the host router with a comparable signal. This is becauses Range Extenders are half-duplex devices and can only communicate i-+n 1 direction at a time. If your feel the speed is lower than that please reach out to support at 866-225-8139 and we will help.

      Best Regards
