Good Cost-benefit

This was the best cost-benefit Wifi extender I found. Easy to install, stable connection but the speed does not sustain the real speed. My internet is 600, and this wifi extender reached approximately 280, even if installed next to the router.

My wifi 6 router is located on the top floor of my home, so the signal is pretty weak in the basement. Using an ethernet cable plugged into this extender, I was able to increase the speed from 40 Mbps to about 200.

Great Wi-Fi extender and booster. Pretty easy to set up. I wouldn’t say it’s super intuitive to set up - because it’s not - but not terribly difficult. I definitely have seen an improvement in connection in my home office, where I was having trouble. Works well.

Purchased to amplify the wifi signal at the opposite end of our one story ranch home. It provides better wifi signal to our smart tv's, tablets and phones.
Easy to install and worked with our Cable home modem/router unit.

The set up was not so easy. It took me a while to understand the directions that came with the product. Once I downloaded the app it walked me through it, but getting it to actually connect to my Wi-Fi was the most difficult part. After about 30 minutes of trying to get it to connect, it finally did and it picked up the signal just fine. The problem is that it cuts your Wi-Fi signal down to about 50%, so where you put this device, your connectivity is not going to be as strong as it is within your router coverage area.
Unless you absolutely cannot get a signal at all, I would not recommend this product, because in my case it did not extend the Wi-Fi coverage, it actually made it worse. If you are in a dead spot and absolutely have no connectivity, then this will get you connectivity but it will not be as fast as what your connectivity is within your router distance. If you plan to buy this for gaming, don’t. I thought it would maybe boost speeds where my Xbox is but it did not increase speed. It actually cut it down to about half of what it was without the device. If you have a good coverage already then you don’t need this. This is specifically for people that live in a large place or have poor connectivity that have no other option. This will get them coverage.
Thank you for your review. Please bear in mind, Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi signal is sufficiently strong; yet far enough from the router to effectively extend its range. We also highly recommend ensuring the extender's firmware is fully up to date, as shown in FAQ 1406 on our official TP-Link website: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1406/
If you'd like assistance with any of these steps, please reach out to our free 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, TP-Link Support

I bought this item to broadcast my 4g cellular router from my RV to the rest of the house. It works very well giving me 4 to 5 bars signal with very little speed loss. The RV is stored next to the house with only a garage wall, so your placement may very.
