Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. If you are having difficulty connecting the Wi-Fi Extender to your router, please first ensure the extender is physically located in an area where your router's Wi-Fi signal is sufficiently strong/stable. If using the WPS setup method, please ensure the steps were performed in the correct order, or the root network's password is correctly entered if using the web or Tether setup options.
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'd like assistance with any of these steps, please reach out to our toll-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.

Posted .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.

TP-Link RE505X - A Game Changer!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installation was a breeze, thanks to the intuitive setup process. I was up and running in no time, with the TP-Link RE505X seamlessly extending my Wi-Fi coverage to those hard-to-reach areas of my home. The difference in connectivity and speed was noticeable immediately. Streaming, gaming, and video calls are now smooth and uninterrupted, even in previously problematic spots.

Posted .Hello Barrett,
That is unfortunate we would have loved the opportunity to help resolve this concern before you were forced to return the device. Please not in the future TP-Link support is available 24/7 to help you when you need it. https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/contact-technical-support/

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, 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/

Saved the Day
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is actually my first foray into setting up a wi-fi mesh, I'm normally an 'ethernet or go home' kind of person. It was incredibly easy to setup with the provided app that showed us where we could install it for best usage. We have gigabit internet but my roommate's pc couldn't connect between the distance and traffic, but after setting this up and directly connecting it to his machine with the ethernet port he was getting ~400-500 megabytes down, it's no replacement for an actual ethernet connection but this is the next best thing
I would recommend this to a friendOver-rated extender.

Excellent extender
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works excellent on 1st floor because modem is upstairs and we have many walls so it’s hard getting internet on 1st floor until I purchased this extender. Get great WiFi service on 1st floor and anywhere in house. That’s great!
I would recommend this to a friendReliable, stable, capable
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as advertised. I use it under the One-Mesh system with my TP-Link Archer AX21 router. Frankly I don’t really need the extender, the router is so darn good it’s handling all my needs by itself. Currently I have up to 32 devices connected however I wanted the extender for heavy traffic use when I have multiple guests such as my folks staying a week or so. With my old router this was an issue. Probably wouldn’t be anyways with the new one however I wanted to future proof the house. Note that this extender will not achieve the download speeds I get directly from the router close wirelessly. Upload speeds the same. Wiring it of course would boost it. I get 150+ mbps consistently from the extender. I’m on Spectrums up to 300 mbps plan. I may upgrade in the fire should I gain the need which my router can handle. Highly recommend the router and TP-Links One Mesh capable extenders in general.
