This is a good WiFi extender I had it working in less than 5 minutes

I purchased this due to the cost and reviews. I have it in my garage and it is about 80 feet from my router. It is used to allow me to have internet in my steel building that’s 100 feet away from my garage. Works great. Only issue I can say is that when it’s plugged into the wall because of the weight of it and the antennas I have a small bracket to hold it up right other wise it will lean over and almost pull out of the wall receptacle. That’s the only downside I can see. It took about 5 minutes to configure it to my home internet and it’s been working great for 4 months now. I would recommend it and buy another again if needed.

Works perfect! Very easy to setup and hit all of our deadspots. 2 story 2500sqft house. Router on one side 1st floor. Put this booster opposite side 2nd floor. No dead spots!

The TP-Link RE505X exceeded my expectations! Setup was super easy — it took just a few minutes to pair with my main router. The Wi-Fi 6 support makes a noticeable difference in speed and stability.
Previously, there were dead zones in my house where the signal was weak, but now I get full bars everywhere — streaming and gaming are totally smooth.
It also looks sleek and compact, blending right into the wall outlet.
If you’re looking for a reliable and affordable range extender, this one is definitely worth it. Highly recommended!

The house has only one place for the router and is on the opposite side from the gaming setup. Intalling the extender about halfway between the router and my setup doubled the speeds on my xbox and pc and virtually eliminated my lag issues. It was super easy to set up and was a big improvement in online play.

After using this TPI Link for over a month and I would not hesitate to purchase again. It extend our range in a 5200 sg ft dewlling with signal outside 125 ft from placement. It only covers a small area nearour firepit. Effortless to set up. Lights tell you if you go out of range. Wireless modem is in basement. I could not see spending $400 to 600 for a mesh system. Nine devices have connect to this extender. No slow down. I'm using it with a Starlink satelite.

I bought this to extend the IoT network provided with my router to my wired IoT devices. I set it up as an access point to the IoT network and plugged a switch into the Ethernet port. The wired devices plug into the switch and easily connect to the internet without access to my home network.

I purchased this product to get a better signal in my house for devices furthest to my wireless router. The trick is to locate this device where the wireless router can communicate without losing signal strength. If that cannot be achieved it is a struggle to appreciate the full use of the product.

Works very well and does actually extend the range of my wifi. I needed this to have my outdoor camera systems actually stay online and to connect to them without stalling or lagging. Works exactly for what I needed it for.

It was simple to setup, no glitches. The boosted signal works great. Remember to check that you don't place it too far from the WI-FI base otherwise it will drop the signal.

After my previous Linksys range extender stopped working, I replaced it with this, and the singal strength is stronger on the devices it serves when compared to the linksys.
The installation instructions are straightforward.
I didn't use the app to install it, btw. I just used my laptop and hit the IP address on the extender to configure it via the webpage it displayed.

Had a 10 year-old Belkin N600 router that was choking on the 2.4 GHz WiFi and had limited range. I got a replacement $250 router, but that did the crash-and burn. The TP-Link RE505X extended the range of the N600 and was able to link with the Belkin's 5 GHz channel, HOWEVER, I had to download and install the TP-Link app onto my phone to get the 5GHz channel to link up to the Belkin as the second push of the WPS button just wouldn't engage the 5GHz channel as indicated by the TP-Link instructions. BUT: once the link was made manually through the app, the TP-Link has been flawless and high speed, as everything goes on the 5GHz channel now. So uplink/downlink speeds are higher than before and range is longer, for 1/3 the price of a new router. I did have to manually set all phones and tablets to use the extension channel through the TP-Link 5 GHz channel, but after the labor of all that setup all connections are nearly instant, automatic, and have high download speeds. The TP-Link comes back on line in a few seconds after being unplugged, so there are no drawbacks that I have experienced once the setup was done.
