Posted .Hi JeremyM,
TP-Link Wi-Fi Range Extenders are designed primarily for use within residential homes. Due to the differences in size and construction, business buildings may present additional challenges for the extender's Wi-Fi signal. However, there may still be ways you can optimize its functionality in your case. First, 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,

Did not solve our dead spot issue
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The salesman talked my husband into this extender when I asked him for an eero mesh system. I set this up and we still had a dead spot in our family room. He returned this and got the mesh system. With the mesh we have great signal in our family room now.

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 extend its range effectively. Please verify that 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. To locate this FAQ, visit our website and enter 1406 in the top-right search field, then click the corresponding FAQ in the search results.
Please also note that, depending on your network configuration, Wi-Fi extenders often utilize half-duplex transmission. As a result, throughput when connecting to the extender may be equal to or lower than when connecting to the router. This is an industry standard for Wi-Fi extenders and is not exclusive to TP-Link.

Wonderful Device
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Summary ------- Simply a wonderful device. I have a Deco x55 mesh setup and this device works seamlessly as a range extender. Although my X55 is a Wifi 6, i think its great to have a device which is wifi 7 because in future if i upgrade my mesh to wifi 7, this one will still be a keeper Pros ----- 1. Inexpensive 2. Works with any router setup 3. Easy to setup 4. Cons ---- 1. Wish it had more than 1 lan port Details ------- Its very easy to setup if you have a WPS switch on the router. All you just need to do is to push that button. since mine does not have a dedicated button, i can use the deco app to connect the extender. You can also activate this through the website. ' Once activated, you can actually see this in t he deco app and it works seamlessly with the deco x55 system i have. I have a desktop with poor wifi card and this really helped me to connect the desktop to the available lan port. However i wished that there are multiple lan ports in the extender. Since this one is wifi 7 capable, i can be rest assured that this is future proof.

Excellent product! Fast set up!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been looking at signal extenders for a few months, debating which one to get. Been looking at this one in particular, since I have a TP router. Glad I got it! This was a breeze to set up. Literally plug in, hit a button on the router, a button on the extender, count to 100, and it’s synced and ready to go! No complicated menus. No apps required (but you can use the tether app), and it just works. That’s a marvel to behold in this day of overcomplicating things. Now my 6e and WiFi7 network extend out to my back patio effortlessly. The extender plugs into the wall and is fairly unobtrusive. I really don’t know what else to say about it. My other devices found it easily with a quick network refresh and went from one bar signal to 4 bars. It incorporates all the great features of wifi7 and helps my existing network fully cover my house (built in the 1930’s and built out of materials that absorb or block WiFi signals). Overall, I’m very impressed with this extender, and would recommend it to anyone wanting an inexpensive way to get a little extra kick out of their WiFi network.

Great Wi-Fi Extender
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I received the TP-Link BE6500 Wi-Fi 7 Range Extender in White. Seems to be well made and durable. Easy to setup just plug in and then easily set up via the WPS button or the Tether App. Works with EasyMesh routers and range extenders to form seamless whole home Mesh Wi-Fi, preventing drops and lag when moving between signals Works with all Wi-Fi generations and devices and all internet providers, walk from room to room and stay connected with the fastest possible speeds. Has a Lightning-Fast 6.5 Gbps Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7: 5764 Mbps (5 GHz) + 688 Mbps (2.4 GHz). Multi-Link Operation (MLO): Increases throughput, reduces latency, and improves reliability for emerging applications Has 4 External Antennas, WPS button, Reset button, a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet Port. I had a dead zone in my kitchen for Wi-Fi signal. and this extender has seem to help with that issue. I am very pleased with the product, does what it is suppose to do. I would highly recommend to anyone needing a Wi-Fi extender for their home.
