    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Wi-Fi Booster! This Wi-Fi booster made a huge difference in my home. Setup was quick and easy, and the connection instantly got stronger in the rooms that used to have weak or spotty signal. Streaming, gaming, and browsing are all smoother now with no interruptions. It’s compact, reliable, and does exactly what it promises. If you need better coverage, this extender is a great choice!

    Easy setup i used this as an alternative to running an ethernet through the house. I used an etherent and plugged it in to this and now my download speeds have gone from 50-80mbps to 200-400mbps. My ping has also gone down making me not lag as much as i once was. If you are looking for something to improve lag and improve download speeds this is a no brainer. With that being said i would highly suggest running an ethernet to it instead of wifi as with the wifi it didnt make much of a huge noticable difference as with wired connection.

    No regrets buying. Solved my limited wifi issues. Downstairs was always an issue and with this extender, downstairs, outside and even on the nearby street was no longer an issue.

    This is not the first Wi-Fi extender I have purchased, but it will be the last. I have had no issues with it, and the setup process was very easy—unlike with other extenders I previously bought. So far, everything has worked smoothly. and I do not have a large apartment, my Verizon Wi-Fi has never worked well in my room. Since installing this TP-Link extender, I have had no problems with streaming; the connection is stable and no longer glitchy. The best part was the setup—it was incredibly easy.

    Best extender in the market. I live in a basement and it reaches from the 1st floor to the basement. I’m able to work from home without any interference. I recommend this extender for anyone that is looking for a reliable extender for work. Don’t waster you money purchasing $20 extenders because in the long run you’ll waste money vs splurging on this product.

    Game changer, we got an outdoor TV for our deck and this was the missing link. The TV streams, and downloads just as fast as anyone inside the house. Great product, easy to use and set up. Totally worth it.

    Pretty simple to set up, get the app, follow the instruction and plug it in. It will inform you if the extender is too far out of range from the sourcr of internet you are using. I have this set uo in my basement, and my internet router is on the mainfloor completely in the opposite side of the house in regard to where it is in my basement and im getting perfecr speeds. Reccomended to anyone who doesnt want to deal with Xfitnity’s B.S

    A Lifesaver For Any Internet Environment...

    I'm the so-called "IT guy" in my family and am responsible for the health of our household computer network. With my office being on the other end of the house from the wi-fi router, my desktop can only be connected wirelessly and I was only able to achieve about 20% of the fiber optic internet speed that I was getting at the router itself. Thanks to this extender, my internet speed is much faster throughout the house--just about at 100% at both ends. I used my phone to set up the router and it was rather simple to do so through the phone's internet browser. Of course, the TP-Link app is suggested and is well worth looking to obtain if that would help. Overall, I would highly suggest this for any problem in regards to wi-fi signal strength and speed in any home.

    Bought for my parents house. Simple and effective haven't had any issues. We can all connect with no drop in speeds when having family gatherings. They never seem to complain so that's good too. I don't know why they don't make these with a grounded plug the only downside is with the two plug if you have it on a vertical wall it sags a little with the weight.

    Finally, I can stream music in the garage without buffering every 10 seconds. Signal’s solid, setup was painless, and no complaints so far. My garage officially entered the 21st century.

    I have two of these as well as WiFi6 router from TP-Link. The main reason I bought these units was to provide wired connections for devices that couldn’t work with the router wirelessly. And it works great! I have also tried the One-Mesh feature, but it didn’t work well for me. Maybe my house just not big enough, but quite often my smartphone would experience problems working over WiFi as I move around the house. Laptops that that don’t move and connected to one of these devices never had issues. But in the end I disabled One-Mesh and turned off rebroadcasting of wireless networks as I can connect to the router from any place anyway. The setup was very easy. The only thing is that it is suggested to do initial setup in the same room as router, and then you can take it to the intended location. I really like this product. It has a lot more features than I use, but it completely solves the problems I had.

    This WiFi range extender made a huge difference in my home! I used to have dead zones in certain rooms, but now the signal is strong and stable everywhere. Setup was quick and easy, and it connected seamlessly to my existing network. Streaming, gaming, and video calls all run smoothly without lag. If you’re struggling with weak WiFi in certain areas, this is a great solution!

    I added wifi security cameras to my business and a few of them were just too far from the main router to get a solid signal. Purchased this extender and the issue was resolved Easy to setup and works great.

    Reliable, simple, low extension in and old house

    My house is old construction (prior to 1950) and the layout has a lot of walls with older and the bones of the house are made with more solid building materials. For my 5G Wi-Fi, the placement of the wireless router in my home just doesn't push a strong enough signal at that band to all the rooms where I have media devices. That's why I bought this extender. While it has been very reliable, it doesn't push the 5G as far as I thought it might even though it is within 25' (in a different room) of a TV that we have a media streaming device in. It gets 4 stars because of that, it is a tad large and unsightly, and takes an entire receptacle plate (single gang). Otherwise, I am happy with it, and if you have newer construction, don't mind seeing it hanging on your wall and taking up the entire electrical outlet, then this is a very good option for you.
