Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. Please keep in mind that Wi-Fi extenders use a type of transmission called 'half-duplex '. This means that they can either send or receive data at a time, but not both simultaneously. As a result, the 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 moving the unit to a position in your home where the router's Wi-Fi signal is strong yet far enough from the router to extend its range effectively. If you have a dual-band Wi-Fi router, we suggest considering one of our dual-band Wi-Fi extenders, such as the RE220, for optimal results.
If you need help with any of these steps, please get in touch with our support team using any of the resources included with the product or from our official website. We'll gladly have a Support Agent follow up with you directly.
Thank you,

Posted .Hello Monica,
When a Range Extender doesn't work its often due to placement or settings in the host router. We would love to assist in getting this product working with your new service to help boost coverage areas that the new service may not fully cover. Please reach out to support at 866-225-8139 when you have time.
Best Regards
TP-Link Systems Support.

Unsafe Device- Be Careful
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device was easy to setup and working well for about 5 months. However, one night, I heard a loud electrical popping noise, and saw that this device had stopped working. I tried to reset the device and use different outlets, however it was completely dead.

Don’t waste your money
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I waited to write a review on this. At first, it was great. Where I’m at in the house, the Wi-Fi struggles and gaming is terrible. This product definitely helped and was great. Then one day it just stopped working. Couldn’t connect to the network and the app wasn’t even able to find the device. Tried resetting the product a couple times and set up would be fine, all 4 LED’s are lit blue, still no connection. Definitely disappointing.

Does not make sense
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I feel like it defeats the purpose because I want it on the other side of the house but if I can’t get WiFi from my phone this thing doesn’t make any sense.

Posted .A range extender boosts the service it receives and push that signal out farther. It can only push what it receives though. You would need to place it in an open and unobstructed area with a strong signal that is between where the router is and where the additional service is needed.
Wifi extender
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This really works...my modem/router is upstairs in my house. Device placed downstairs kitchen.I get 300mbs for all my devices on 1st floor. No buffering

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This worked great the 1st few weeks, then would randomly shut off. I tried to put in different areas of my house, shutoff and recycle my network, then tried a hard re-set..(this fixed the problem, but only for a week). I have Best Buy plus and was just out of 60 day replacement/refund warranty. The rep said sorry, can't help you and to call the manufacturer since they offered a 2 year warranty. Called the manufacturer..they immediately approved a replacement..BUT...I have to pay to mail it back first before they will send me a new one!! This is unacceptable! I will not recommend this brand to anyone! A complete waste of money!

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. We regret to hear you encountered this unusual circumstance with your Wi-Fi Range Extender; however, we are glad to hear you were able to get in touch with our support team, and that they are assisting you with warranty replacement.
We hear your concerns regarding your existing warranty case. We offer various shipment options for warranty fulfillment, and we suggest following up with your existing support ticket to inquire regarding other options (for example, Advanced RMA), if you would prefer not to ship your unit back first. We look forward to assisting you further.

Dangerous
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So first things first, it doesn’t work very well. It created all kinds of problems with my home network. I could have probably worked with it to figure that out but it runs SO HOT. It genuinely felt like a fire hazard. It was so hot I couldn’t touch without an oven mitt to unplug it. Don’t buy this.

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. We hear your concerns, and while it is normal for the Wi-Fi extender to run relatively warm while in use, it should not be excessively hot. Please first ensure it is properly and fully plugged into the power outlet, and if need be, try another outlet to rule out the outlet being a potential cause.
Your TP-Link Wi-Fi extender comes with a 2-year warranty, and we would greatly appreciate the opportunity to help address your concerns.

Posted .Hi TerryR,
Thank you for your review. If you haven't noticed a significant improvement in Wi-Fi coverage after installing the extender, we recommend relocating the unit to a position within your home where the router's Wi-Fi signal is sufficiently strong, yet far enough from the router to effectively extend its range. Please verify that the RE status LED is indicating a solid connection.
We also recommend ensuring the extender's firmware is fully up to date using the steps outlined in FAQ 1406 on our official website: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1406/
If you would like assistance with any of these steps, please contact our 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.

Posted .Hi Resonance411,
Thank you for your review. If you're having trouble connecting the extender to your router, we recommend setting up the device in the same room as your router and then relocating it after setup is complete. We also suggest that you reverify your router's Wi-Fi password during setup. Alternatively, if using the WPS setup method, ensure that the WPS process is performed in the correct order. The extender's indicator LEDs will help you determine the ideal position in your home.
We also highly recommend that you ensure the extender's firmware is fully up to date by following the steps outlined in FAQ 1406 on our official website: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1406/
If you need assistance with any of these steps, please contact our TP-Link support team using the resources included with the product or our official website. We'll be happy to have a Support Agent follow up with you directly.
