Posted .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,

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The TP Link RE505X Ax1500 Wi-Fi 6 Range Extender may work in areas that do not have walls that might be blocking the signal. I believe that due to the inability to work in areas that have walls It did not work well for me.

Posted .Hi DrphyllisM.
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 extend its range effectively. Please verify that 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/

It's okay
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was okay, but didn't boost my internet a good enough chunk to justify the price

Posted .Hi Mike,
In general, range extenders are not going to boost speed. Their primary purpose is to increase range. To effectively use the extender it needs to be placed in the correct location. Extenders should be placed between the router and where the extra coverage is required. They should be in an open and unobstructed area with a strong signal. You can reach support at 866-225-8139 if you need assistance.
Best Regards

Not so great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was affordable and easy to install and it just barely increases the range of my wi-fi. I'm not impressed. I was told it would significantly increase the range of my router. Not so

Signal booster
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a booster...no different than many others - but is 500% cheaper than the internet and phone companies charge! While it has lessened the "freezing", it has not solved the problem!
