    I installed this for my dad who knows his way around computers as well as I know my way around nuclear physics. He could hardly watch tv let alone keep a phone call going on his cell without it dropping out. He had a pretty bad signal in his house and now it is much better. Every time we talk he thanks me! Now if he would only just stop talking about Startrek...

    My ISP hooked up my new modem/router in another part of the house so TV streaming became difficult with low wireless signal. With many positive reviews online and mid level price range it has performed to expectations. I have it plugged into a room adjacent to the TV and while it should be constant blue light it blinks red intemittently, but I have no streaming issues/lag.

    This extender was placed near the rear of the home because exterior cameras were not consistently connecting with the Wi-Fi. Easy installation and Wi-Fi connection.

    Purchased this to extend the range of my WiFi signal to my solar panel transmission hub. My router is in my office and I needed to get the signal to the other side of the house, outside a brick wall. I plugged this little gem into the outlet inside and voila, now the hub outside can access my signal. Great!!

      Hi Thatiana,

      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 extend its range effectively. Please verify that 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 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 Systems Support tplink

    I wanted to give this 5 stars because it was pretty easy to set up. However, I still get occasional buffering on the main TV I'm using it for, although I have moved it around.

    We bought this to extend coverage for wireless security cameras. It works pretty well. I have used a iPad literally right next to it and farther away and range falls off surprisingly fast. Does job was in expensive but though it would extend further. It is 25 feet from main base. Not significantly better reception than we had

    Excellent extender. The installation was quick and easy and the instructions were easy to follow. The result was full bars at the other end of the house which is what we needed. The TP-Link works flawlessly with a rented modem of a different brand.
