Easy to setup, extended my wifi range, and with little to no drop in speed. Downside requires an app on your phone to setup

Overall it works geeat. But still having and issues getting one my video recording devices connected to it. Which is odd because the other two of the same brand were seamless in connecting. I also hardwire connected it to one of my smart TVs because the TV Wifi in wasnt getting the job done. Now streaming on it is consistsnt without any buffering.
The app is very intuitve making it simple to control, configure and connect

This product works great and was easy to set up. I had a dead spot in my house where wifi was spotty or slow sometimes, so I purchased this to see if it would help. I set it up in about 5 minutes, plugged it in near the dead spot, and now I have a solid wifi connection anywhere in the house. Be sure to connect your TVs, chromecasts, etc to the wifi emitted from the extender so that you can still stream to them.
Great speed and connection, occasional packet loss

I am using this wired to my desktop, which doesn't play nice with USB wi-fi adapters and has no room for an internal one. I generally don't recommend range extenders, but if you need one for a specific purpose, this one isn't bad.
Works Great in detached garage for movie streaming

Bought this based on budget and reviews to stream movies in my garage w/Xfinity. Tried plugging it inside (halfway bw router & projector per instructions) and signal no bueno. Was ready to return then tried it in garage. 4 blue bars on device and Zero pixelated images like I had before which prompted the purchase. Very happy.

I’ve purchased 2 different brand Wi-Fi extenders before and they never worked but this one does exactly what it states. It’s in my sunroom which is about 50 feet from my router and it works! I couldn’t use Wi-Fi in the sunroom until I purchased this. I’m so happy with it!

The thing would constantly shut off and on and it is extremty unreliable, id try to fix it before but it was always happening to the point i have to buy a new one that wouldnt randomly disconnect. If you want this item and dont care if it disconnects randomly by all means… buy it the Connectivity is fine its good when connected, just shuts off randomly and sometimes too frequently, like 5 times a day, 6/10 purches
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 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.
Thank you, TP-Link Systems Support

I needed an extemder for my girl's room which is too far from the main router. This just did the trick. Seamless set up!

Before I bought this range extender, the internet connection speed to my desktop upstairs was averaging 14Mb per second download. With this range extender, I'm now averaging 75Mb per second download.
