Posted .Hi Grateful,
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,

Posted .With range extenders, placement is everything. Ensure the extender is located in an open and unobstructed area with a strong signal from the host AP/Router. Also, remember that extenders are not designed to provide faster internet speeds. They are primarily designed to improve signal reception. Extenders can only transmit in one direction at a time: to the router or to the client. Because of this, speeds can be and often are a bit slower than when the client is connected to the router with a signal of similar strength.
Terrible at extending any kind of decent speeds
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought trying to eliminate buffering while have 1gb download speeds. Tv would get 20-40 mb before but would still buffer. Connected to extender and would only get 3-5 mb download and 500k upload. Wouldnt even load most of the time

Posted .Hi,
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.
We also suggest you re-verify your router's Wi-Fi password during setup or, if using the WPS setup method, make sure 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.
It is also suggested to make sure 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/

Not worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My internet service provider offers a wi-fi extender it’s twice the price but works well. This has limited range and is good for a single room in your house. If you want better coverage spend a little more on a better item.

Not worth the money to extend 20 or so feet.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live in a standard house and there’s no crazy walls made out of brick or anything. I was hoping this extender would help get Internet into my garage, but it is very weak.

Not worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was easy to install. BUT the speed coming off the extender was underwhelming to say the least. It took my 700mb average and whittled it down to about mb, about 30 feet away. Get yourself a mesh system.
