Posted .Hi,
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 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 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.

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. Generally, if you are experiencing difficulty connecting the extender to your router, we recommend setting up the device in the same room as your router, then relocating it after setup is complete. We also suggest re-verifying your router's Wi-Fi password during setup, or if using the WPS setup method, ensuring the WPS process is performed in the correct order. The extender's indicator LEDs will help you determine which position in your home is ideal.
We also highly 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/

Not worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My internet service provider offers a wi-fi extender it’s twice the price but works well. This has limited range and is good for a single room in your house. If you want better coverage spend a little more on a better item.

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Dos not work as well as i thought is would work or maybe im not using it right
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot worth the money to extend 20 or so feet.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live in a standard house and there’s no crazy walls made out of brick or anything. I was hoping this extender would help get Internet into my garage, but it is very weak.

Posted .Hi Debi,
Thank you for your review. If you're having trouble connecting the extender to your router, try setting up the device in the same room as your router first, then moving it to its permanent spot after setup. We also recommend double-checking your router's Wi-Fi password during setup, or if you're using the WPS setup method, making sure the WPS process is done in the correct order. The extender's indicator LEDs can help you find the best spot in your home.
We also highly 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/

Not worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was easy to install. BUT the speed coming off the extender was underwhelming to say the least. It took my 700mb average and whittled it down to about mb, about 30 feet away. Get yourself a mesh system.

Wifi issue
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to return. Does not connect to the updated software on the AT&T wifi modem.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from TPLinkSupport
Posted .The Software of the ATT Gateway should not affect the ability for the range extender to connect to the Wi-Fi network. What may have happened is that an ACL or Firewall setting prohibited the Range Extender from connecting to the internet.
