Just Not for Me--It May Be Personal
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't wish to bash the product itself, as, at this juncture, my urban neighborhood is going through major construction (two large-scale condominium units just yards away). As such, this may have a profound, pronounced affect upon the performance of: my internet, tv, cellular phone and home phone, etc.. I did not get any better internet reception after purchase of this product and continue to have spotty internet throughout my home, inclusive of "dead spots."

Good so far
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this because my son wanted to stop the lagging with his PlayStation sometimes. So the first one didn’t come and got lost in the mail. Best Buy immediately corrected the problem and sent another one right away when I told them. Easy set up and worked right away. So my son received it and says it works good for him so far. No complaints about lagging with the PlayStation.

Effective way to extend WIFI signal
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To support products being used on all levels of my home, I researched wifi extenders and bought this one figuring if it didn't work I would not have invested a lot of money. I am relieved to say it was easy to install and has worked effectively in my home. When I switched routers, I reached out to the manufacturer for advice on changing the network and received email support that was very helpful.

Ok for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as described. Plug in into an outlet and use your phone to download the app and connect to your home WiFi. Depending on your home layout it can give you a little better signal. I put it on the second floor. Modem is in basement. I get about 2mb more on the second floor using this.

WiFi Range Extender...not so much!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was SO excited to get this range extender because in order to get halfway decent service in my bedroom, my current wifi gateway is sitting in the middle of the kitchen. I was definitely looking forward to reclaiming my kitchen walkway, making it free of cords. I set up the range extender rather easily. Connected to it effortlessly. However, when it came time to download something....it took forever. Then my child came to me and said "look at this video..." which kept buffering under the extender. Then he connected back to the regular WiFi and the video played just fine. There were other instances where videos, games and searches simply would not work at all. I kindly unplugged the EXT and went back to my regular WiFi gateway.

Posted .Hello,
Thank you for your review and feedback.
If you haven't noticed a significant improvement in Wi-Fi coverage after installing the device, 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. Ideally, the RE LED and at least 3 to 4 Signal Strength LEDs should be illuminated for best performance.
Our Support Team is always available and happy to help. Please feel free to e-mail us anytime using the address below, and we'll gladly follow up with you.
We thank you again for your feedback and hope you will continue to consider TP-Link for your future network needs.
Best Regards,

Great to extend your wifi far.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to make my laser printer wireless. My laser printer is 5 years old and it only has Ethernet cable. After moving places, it couldn’t be connected to Ethernet cable since it was moved far away. This device also gets your WiFi and provides a Ethernet connection which could never have happened 5 years ago.
