Not compatible with older tech
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cannot say anything about this particular item. I guess it is good (I have a few TP-Link products). Had to return it, because it was incompatible to my Uverse Pace router, and I did not want to buy another router. My mistake to buy it at the first place; however, I believe product description should be very transparent about this. Returning was easy though, thanks to Best Buy policies.

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. TP-Link Wi-Fi extenders are universally compatible with Wi-Fi routers. 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. To locate this FAQ, visit our website and enter 1406 in the top-right search field, then click the corresponding FAQ in the search results.
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.
Thank you,
TP-Link Support

I would recommend this to a friendWifi extender helps, but not very strongly
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Seems to work. It's not very strong though. The wifi in the extended area is not very strong.
I would recommend this to a friendChallenging but works
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A little bit challenging, have to download an app for setting up. Once there, does well.
I would recommend this to a friendNot for me
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Thought that this would give me better extended range out to my detached garage. It really didn't work any better than the TPLINK RE450 I already had. Took this one back an bought at 2nd RE450 to put in a sweet spot inside the house.. I think that the wifi phones and smart TV's need to be newer for them to work well with this WIFI-6 equipment for them to really make any difference.

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/

Did not meet my requirements
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since my source wireless router wasn't a TP-Link device, this wouldn't let me use the same SSID for the extended network. Needed a device that would allow for a seamless handoff between access points. I am an experienced network engineer and tried several options to get this to work, but was unsuccessful. Otherwise, the ease of setup was good.

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. The RE505X allows for customization of the extended SSID during setup when using the web browser setup method and the TP-Link Tether app on your smartphone. During this step, you can enter the same SSID as your primary Wi-Fi network(s) to ensure a more seamless experience.
