    Excellent, I'm now able to connect to my wifi signal through out the entire house. From attic to cellar and from the front yard to the back yard.

    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.

    This increase the internet speed to the upstairs through 2 walls and a door. My husband works from home a few times a month and before purchase the connections would drop off. No more drops since buying in April of 25.

    I placed this extender outside under my patio cover so my shop would receive a stronger internet reception. It works great and the shop is about 90 feet from my house.

    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!

    This range extender works fully as advertised, easy to use plug and play, gives me almost 3 achers of range on my property. This is a must for if you live rural and work away from the house but still need an undisrupted connection.

    Solid Wireless in a Tough Environment with TP-Link

    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.

    It solved my issue of my computer disconnecting from the router which was quite annoying but when I bought this product and connected it directly to the router the problems like freezing, disconnecting, and not connecting just right. All in all I recommend if your computer does the same thing!

    the extender was easily installed following the simple instructions. I was trying to extend my WiFi from one end of my house to the other. In general it works well but we seem to have a frequent disconnect for the WiFi all together so we still have to work on that.

    Fantastic product. Did exactly what we needed. Employee was very helpful. Best Buy is where we shop first. By the way, the fridge we purchased 2 years ago is going strong, and I LOVE IT! I like the freezer on the bottom. I can see everything.
