I bought this extender for my grandson. My daughter lives in a 1500 square foot home and my grandson’s room is on the 2nd level on the opposite side of their modem/router. He loves to game and was getting very poor WIFI in his room. The extender was easy to setup using the Tether app and he now gets good WIFI in his room. No more lag gaming. See before and after photos to see the big difference.

Placed this downstairs, a decent distance from the router/modem where I have next to zero service...(Note: The router/modem is up stairs on the main floor) This is placed approximately 30-40 feet if I had to guess from my room with 2 walls in between where I set this up at and I get a much better Wi-Fi signal down here than without this. At times I have nearly zero connection trying to directly connect to the house internet.
123 Mb was with this Extender, 2.58mb was from my cell phone wifi alone and 0.13 and the upload speed wasn't even budging... was with my normal router/modem without the extender.
This was extremely easy / simple to set up. Approximately 5 minutes or less.
Used this for barely over a month, and I have no issues / complaints with this at this time.

I bought this extender because my tv buffers and loses sound here and there due to all the walls blocking the signal from the router. I needed something just didnt know what and the 1million and one extenders out there didnt make it any easier until i read extensive reviews of this particular item. Omg am i blown away!..Set up was easy. Just set it up near the router first then you can unplug to your desired location. Super easy to set up. And oh .. have patience let the light blink and do its thing when its ready it will turn solid. Its worth trying and Good luck!

I purchased this product to extend from one apartment to another. I was amazed at how well it works! It's saved me a lot of money and hassle. I'm not a techy person but had no problems getting it set up. I'd definitely buy it again.

The router has been a stalwart, dependable router. But when I wanted to add a Smart Bird feeder, in the back yard, the BirdBuddy said my signal was weak. So the obvious answer was to put this extender between the upstairs office (where the router lives) and the back deck. No more weak signal, and the Live Photos the Bird Buddy come through, and the AI info via their servers identifies the species of the bird. You can see the Bird feeder through the slider, and the next photo shows it hanging from a limb, 3 meters off the ground. The photos from the feeder come through perfectly, via the Extender.

Definitely worth purchasing. My entire house now has internet. The signal is strong and consistent. Very happy I bought the range extender. Would recommend to anyone looking for a better wifi signal througought the entire home/office

This extender gets the job done. It isnt quite the best extender that exists, but it works well for the price point. Would recommend for a medium sized home that wifi just isnt quite cutting it on its own.

Moved a TV to the lanai, but the wifi signal (Xfinity) was too weak to get reception. Tried an extender that was 1/2 the price and couldn't get a consistent or strong enough signal to watch. Switched to the RE605X and now have 50% of the download speed I get at the modem. Great extender. Now I can sit outside and stream without a problem.

Set up was easy. Use Tether app to mesh with our tp-link router. Signal now strong in rooms farthest from router. A bit more expensive but ease of use makes it a bargain.
