    A cost effective way to extend a home wifi network

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This range extender was very easy to setup and has worked flawlessly since I installed it about a month ago in a room about 60 feet from my router. It is reasonably priced and I would recommend it to anyone who has intermittent connectivity issues with their wi-fi network.

    Excellent extender

    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!

    Not only did it not strengthen the signal, the signal was weaker when using it.

      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 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,
      TP-Link Support tplink

    It was well worth money spent. It was easy to set up, and it works flawlessly. This device prevents you from using an ethernet cable. It sends a strong signal.

    Awesome Range Extender. Just follow the simple setup and you are in business. I have a nice wi-fi card in my gaming PC that was only getting 30 MB down from my 600 MB wi-fi. This extender boosted it to 160 over wi-fi and when I plugged in the ethernet wire, over 400 MB. This is going to save me form running CAT5 through the roof and down a wall. Setup was easy, took about 15 mins plus trying a few locations for best speed. I had way better results with this than the other extenders i have tried. Really satisfied with this!

    Pretty nice little device

    Had a few issues with packet loss but overall it does a good job spreading the wi-fi to dead zones in the basement. I like the clear indicators on the face, the movable antennae, and the port on the side so you can get ethernet directly from it is pretty sweet.

    Now i get a signal out at the workshop. Its a metal building so signal inside is weaker than outside.The new receipt location is about 300' from extender so it's sending a signal to the outer reaches of the acerage, nice.
