Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. Wi-Fi extenders are designed to help improve Wi-Fi coverage area/range within your home's network. A Wi-Fi extender works by receiving and rebroadcasting the signal it receives from your router. 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. 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.

Posted .With extenders placement is everything. They must be placed in an unobstructed areas that if between the router and where you want service extended and has a strong signal from the router. Extenders can only provide what they receive.

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. Please bear in mind Wi-Fi extenders utilize half-duplex transmission. As a result, throughput when connecting to the extender may be reduced when compared to the router. This is an industry standard for Wi-Fi extenders and is not exclusive to TP-Link.
In your case, we 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.

Crummy extender
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This extender is horrible. It overheated from the beginning practically. Customer service did nothing. Just said that was normal. Speeds horrible, too.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from TPLinkSupport
Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. While it is normal for the extender to run relatively warm while in use, it should not be exceedingly hot to the touch. Please first ensure it is installed in a location where it is not exposed to external heat sources (e.g., direct sunlight) for prolonged periods, and has adequate ventilation (e.g., not installed in a confined space).
For optimal performance of your Wi-Fi extender, we highly recommend ensuring its firmware is fully up to date. Please refer to FAQ 1406 on our official website for detailed instructions: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1406/
If you would like further assistance, please reach out to us via email at USSupportTeam@TP-Link.com, and include reference to your review, and we will have a support agent follow up with you.

New wifi extender
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Received in a timely and installed it myself easily.
I would recommend this to a friendDon't Do It!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Grabage. Totally worthless phone app too. After trying about 15 different ways to get a second TV to do what the older 4G modem used to do with ease, compared to Motorola's 5G dud, this was a waste of time and effort and ended up being returned to Best Buy.

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/
