    I used it for about-a week but didnt really see any speed increases. Just hooked up to my old wifi and didnt really notice a difference . Took it off due to so many wifi signals instead of just being the one wifi signal.

      Hi,

      Thank you for your review. 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,

    this item would not conform to our existing home wifi system, so I was unable to judge its effectiveness.

      We would like to know more about this situation. Why were you not able to use the extender with your existing system? Was it because you have a mesh system that is only compatible with other mesh units or something else? Please reach out to us at ussupportteam@tp-link.com with a copy of this review so we can discuss this further.

      Thank you

      With range extenders, placement is everything. Make sure the extender is placed in an area that is open, unobstructed and has a strong signal from the router. This location should also be between the router and where service extension is needed. If you need assistance, please reach out to support at 866-225-8139.

      Best Regards

    Does what it says and I can notice a big difference for online gaming which was the main reason I purchased this. Also made a big difference in streaming down stairs (router is up stairs). I would recommend.

      Hi NickS,

      Thank you for your review. 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/

      The extender should steadily remain in the outlet once plugged in. We would recommend trying another outlet to see if the symptom persists.

      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.

      Hi JonathanB,

      Thank you for your review. If you are experiencing difficulty connecting the extender to your router, we recommend setting up the device in the same room as your router and 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/

      If you would like assistance with any of these steps, please contact 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,
