It does what it says it will do. It has allowed our devices that were not receiving good wifi connections to finally get them consistently.

Was very easy to set up, as it included a QR code to download an app and set up the device, it allowed me to pick and choose a different username and password than my original WiFi network and has not failed me. The WiFi is as fast and as strong as my original WiFi and if not just a tad bit slower deplending on how many devices are on it.

Seems to work as advertised-not boosting the connection level of my standby generator, the reason for purchase. Access for other wifi devices is exceptional and covers all other dead areas in my house. Directions could be a little larger and a little more clear.

Unfortunate customer service experience

I was told by two different employees (one, when I ordered the unit and the other, when I picked it up) that all I had to do was plug it into the power outlet. In reading the instructions - after that simplistic advice proved false - I became aware of the complexity involved. Either both employees had not been given appropriate training or they just didn't want to be bothered. Either way, Best Buy has some employee training to do. Also, of interest in the customer support area, I note that there is no way to reach the customer support dept online or via mail - is that to discourage customers from reporting problems similar to the one I had?

Previous extender was 5+ yrs old and signal strength at most remote device was “fair”.
Followed simple instructions to set up and just minutes out of the box was plugged in and working. Signal strength went up to “excellent” and has been rock steady since connected. Highly recommended!!!

Product works as advertised however cannot get any of multiple Roku sticks in my household to connect. Tech-support was not helpful simply recommending to contact Roku. Roku suggests doing the same in the opposite direction. I’m caught in the proverbial death spiral.

Brand response from TPLinkSupport
Posted .
Hello George,
I can understand the frustration. The reason you were directed to Roku support is because this is likely not a problem with the extender. TP-Link does not provide client device assistance. Once the extender was determined to be working properly it became a device level issue and you would need to troubleshoot with that device's manufacturer. When you speak with Roku let them know that the extender was troubleshot with TP-Link and that these streaming sticks were the only devices that would not connect to the network. From there they should be able to help address your concern.
Best Regards
TP-Link Systems Support
