    We use this as an extender but you can use it to make a 2.4ghz band into a 5ghz band. It works great for both purposes. The app really helps as it can help you find the best places to plug it into an outlet for best performance.

    It works well, but it won't do miracles. Make sure you set it up in the right place for better results.

    Thrilled! Not very tech savvy so I wasn’t sure what I was doing wrong in setting up some of my stuff. Talked to my daughter and she suggested getting a wi-fi booster. Wandered back in to Best Buy with minimal information and they helped me figure out which extender would suit my needs. Easy to set up. Quick fix. Performance is great. Awesome!

    Solid Wireless in a Tough Environment with TP-Link

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

    The device found a signal with no effort and I'm in an area where that seems difficult. I haven't been able to use my cell phone in the living room and using my laptop just a room away (in a small condo) from where my hub is was iffy. Streaming to my TV ... not happening. Therefore, I was happy when after pairing next to the hub, I was able to move the TP-Link to my hallway. I had a good connection on both bands within a minute. Results: I can use my cell phone sitting on my couch and I have a good signal at my dining room table (MacBook pro). --------- I had to do some finagling to establish the link to my hub to begin with. This is an Apple AirPort (model is about 8 years old, attached to an 8 year old iMac). Some persistence and I had a connection established but I'm fairly adept at setting up Macs including dealing with permissions, etc. I don't know if it's the age of the AirPort (and computer) or that Apple devices can sometimes present a challenge, as opposed to a PC environment. At any rate, I did get it set up and working, so all's well.

    Helped provide better connection in a location where Wi-Fi signal was weak. It was not a perfect solution, but that was because the Wi-Fi was still too weak, not a fault of the product.

    So, I went to the Potomac Yard (Alexandria VA) to return it and it was past the 15 days timeline. I was told that they couldn´t receive it. So I threw it in the garbage. There should be a standard 30 days (at least) return period in Best Buy. Then I boiugth this TP-Link, and it´s the opposite of the previous (Netgear). Easy to set up, and way much friendly and powerful. I should have bought this since the beginning.

    I'm writing this review after using this product for 11 months. This is an awesome wifi extender that has worked without any issues. I setup an ethernet cable to the other side of my house and use this ethernet connection to extend wifi. Wifi never disconnects and never has low range around my house. I even get signal a half block away from my house.

    Setup was simple with Tether App. It is not a grounded device and the weight can/will pull it out of the outlet. A small piece of velcro (half on the unit half on the outlet should keep it in place. Not a fan that there's no ground pin, but it works reasonably well, providing seamless WiFi throughout my basement that had lots of dead spots.

    Best purchase ever bought to connect my All-Home Generac Generator with the mobile app. The router is at the complete opposite side of my house where the generator is located! Absolute frustration locating an extender that will allow me to communicate important information. Thanks to the Best Buy Agent that recommended the TP-LINK WiFi Range Extender. Extremely satisfied after 2 years of interrupted WiFi signal!
