Easy installed Wi-Fi Extender
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I brought one to extend my home wi-fi from the 1st floor to the 2nd floor. The device is very easy to installed and setup. We can easily find the _EXT from computer with displayed stronger signal. However, in realty, there was no obvious different to improve the connection stability. Maybe I'll have to buy a more powerful wi-fi router.

Eh
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This extender works just fine, I can’t expect much more for the price I paid. It does tend to be a tad on the slower side. I have 300Mbps internet and this hardly gets 10Mpbs in my home. If you need an extender for something like a TV, this will work well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from TPLinkSupport
Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. Please bear in mind WiFi 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 WiFi 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 WiFi 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.
If you'd like assistance with any of these steps, please send an e-mail with your contact information and a link to this review to USSupportTeam@TP-Link.com and we'll gladly have a Support Agent follow up with you directly.
Best Regards,
TP-Link Support

Works well for a great price
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did research on WiFi extender because of the sheer volume of them on the market. I had two choices left, this one and a little bit more expensive one. As of writing this review it seems to be doing its job. Setup is also simple and straightforward.

Works Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This extender is exactly what I needed for my security cameras that were just a little bit out of range for consistent service. Easy set up with the tether app and pair nicely with the TP-Link router I already had. Great value for what I needed.

Works Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am using two of these as range extenders: one upstairs and one in the basement. There are no wifi deadspots in our house now. The instructions could use some improvement, but if you're computer savvy you won't have any issues.

Easy setup, works great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the price. I needed a range extender to get WiFi at my lawn sprinkler controller on the outside wall of my house. I plugged the N300 into my bedroom wall socket and it worked through the wall. I now can control my sprinkler system with my phone.
