Perfect Solution

We have a large 4 story home and the extender provides an excellent signal throughout all rooms and floors. The extender is priced low and is easy to install and setup.

meh
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I guess the WiFi extension is working, not with the Smart TV, but this other issue. Asigning a new name doesn't work, so I keep the same network name. No complains for the rest of th house

Basic But Helps
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed to extend the range of my wi-fi to use it outdoors - at the far end of my house from my modem/router. This one had easy set-up, and after several months, only needed to be re-set once. For under $20, it's worth it.

Wifi range extender
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The TP-link was a good choice. It is priced competitively and is easy to set up, it would be even easier if the instructions were a bit clearer. Even with instructions that don't always show what the lights do set up was done in less than five minutes. Shipping was relatively quick so no need for expedited shipping unless you REALLY need it fast.

Good buy
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s not bad for the price and it works fine when you have the setup finish. There is an app that you can install and finish the install and it wasn’t difficult, not much of a lot of options but decent amount. I have another tether and they have both different models that I have and separately on the app so you can modify them individually. Would buy again at the price

Powerful little device
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fairly easy to set up. (A less technologically savvy person might struggle just the tiniest bit, but the instructions are pretty clear.) Nicely extends our wireless range. Has worked flawlessly since set up. Recommended.

Works great
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a basic wifi extender for some wifi-connected lights I installed in the front of my garage in the soffets. While I have great wifi throughout my entire house, that's the ONE location I had poor connectivity. I kept losing one or more of the lights and controlling them consistently was a pain. I only needed 2.4Ghz for this area, I added this extender, moved the lights to the new SSID and bam- problem solved. The extender is plugged into the ceiling outlet where my garage door opener plugs in. If you get one of these, DO NOT FORGET to actually log into it and set the password!

Surprisingly good for the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wasn’t expecting much from this WiFi extender considering the prices from other competitors. However, this was a good deal. The setup is quick and easy to follow and it helped bring the WiFi signal to dead zones in my house.

Range Extender works
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It set up the first time wonderfully by "pairing" with my old router, but then I disconnected it and moved to a really far location to see how far it would go and it didn't. Then I put it back in the original spot and had to "repair" it with the blue tooth to my WPA on my router. It wouldn't, so I did the reset botton on the bottom with a paper clip and then retried to "pair" again and it finally worked. Just changed my network password, and I had to do it all over again. It was fussy, but after several pairing, I got it working again and put in my new passord on all my devices using my network name_EXT. I love this thing and with the exeption of pairing to the blue tooth a couple trys, it is great. It is reliable and lets me get on the internet and surf quickly with a strong signal in places that I couldn't.

Give it time
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It takes it a bit to get acclimated to the wireless router but give it time and definitely read the instructions. I used this to hook up a non Wi-Fi enabled blueray player rather than running Ethernet from the third floor to the basement and it works great. Good time saver.
