Easy to install. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. It has made a huge difference in my connectivity. Before I couldn't even browse online for 30 seconds, and now I can attend and be a part of an online conference for multiple hours without freezing and/or glitching. Definitely would buy it again if the need arises.

This worked really well when we couldn’t run cables to our living room. We watch tv & game from the signal & it does well for us.

The instructions tell you a few different ways to set up this extender to your existing Wi-Fi. I decided to use the app and it was set up in just a few minutes. I have had it a few weeks and everything is working great and no issues at all. I am able to have Wi-Fi everywhere in the house now. I like that you can secure it will a password.

Went from less than 1 bar of WiFi to no delays at all, saving me at least $30 a month on my own internet plan.
The Tether app confused me at first (my roommate was out of town and I couldn’t access their router to do the easier options). I thought that I was connecting the router to the extender, but it turned out it was connecting the app to the extender, if the app doesn’t seem to be working, don’t connect your router, connect your extender.

I have poor WiFi strength in my office which is at the other end of the house from the router. With the extender, the signal is stronger and speeds are faster. Of course, it is not as fast as having the laptop near the router, but much faster than relying on the weak signal without the extender. This is what I expected. The range extender was easy to setup.

This extender is the over all bang for the buck. In my house hold the people that use the extender are online contantly streaming and playing video games 3 to 4 people at a time and the signal is strong and reliable. Super easy set up with the mobile app.

So quick and easy to setup. Downloaded the tether app and was up and running in just a couple minutes. I'm impressed with how many features the app has, and how well designed it is. Seamless, and the range extender itself has presented no issues whatsoever. Connection quality and speed has increased dramatically in the deadzones in my house. No more buffering.

It's a decent extender. Main issues being that regardless if you have 2.4GHZ or 5GHZ, it will sometimes perform below average for what's supposed to provide a bigger range. It's stated to give out a 150 - 300 MBPS performance, but after many tests through these downtimes, it would push out 30 - 50MBPS. But it's on the rare occasions, normally it works as branded so long as it's within reach and so long as your Internet connection is on the high end.

Hello Piscane,
The speed rating listed for the extender is often seen in relation to Internet speeds, but it actually refers to the maximum transmit rates. Transmission rates refer to the speeds at which devices communicate within a network. Due to the nature of Range Extenders, the speed is often lower than that of a router with a similar signal strength. Their main purpose is to increase range. Sometimes speed is improved but often it is not.

Bought this so I can extend my Wifi to the living room area and the outside cameras on the front of the house. Simple to use, easy to set up, I really like in the app that it shows what is connected and I can stop wifi for that certain device. Definitely recommend if anybody is looking to extend their wifi to other areas of the house.

Installation was fairly simple--matter of downloading an app and following directions, range is good, but the outlets in my home are all sideways and the recommendation is that "the ears" point up--as in the illustration. It does the job of extending the Wi-Fi however, I think it's a little clunky, big.

Great extender. Has a lot of power. We got great advice while we were in the store on different extenders. This is the one we went with. It also was on sale which was a plus.

I work at a daycare and our awesome TP Link AX3000 had some dead spots down a long hallway into a large back room. Set up was easy with the Tether app and we could instantly tell a difference. Logged in and could see everyone in that back room was on the extender and no more dead spot!
