    It works as advertised, and is able to pick up my neighbors signal (with their permission) from their garage apartment a hundred feet (or more) away and rebroadcast it throughout our vacation house. You just have to be a little patient letting it connect on startup.

    Range isn't the best. Glowing light is terrible, we unplug it when not in use.

    Very easy to set up, just follow easy instructions supplied and plug in. Had 3 dead areas in my split level home, garage, kitchen and upper bedroom. My router and modem is in my downstairs office and once this was installed all areas are covered.

    For reasons unknown, my wife's laptop could not connect to the household wi-fi. The TP-Link RE505X extender solved the problem! Not a bad price, either, considering the improvement in our home environment.

    Easy to use. Just plug it in and connect to the wifi. We had issues connecting out TV to the network. But when we bought this, no more issues. Easy to move around if needed.i gave it a 4 because size is on the bulkier side.

    Got this because my desktop on the second floor kept getting it's connection dropped. It's easy to set up. I was not sure how it would work out at first but it was better than what I can ask for. Love can change rang size for my room.

    Installation was a breeze. Really good instructions with each step working without a single hitch. Boosted my WiFi signal by two indicator lines from the second story to the basement. Well-built unit with good indicator lights so you know exactly what your WiFi status is

    It wasn't quite as easy to set up as they said, but the instructions were clear & provided 3 different ways to set it up. About once a week it looses the wifi signal, but then I just have to unplug it & plug it back & it reboots automaticly.

    We used this to bridge our Starlink router to our Ubiquiti Unifi network. Since Starlink decided to pull their ethernet ports and their proprietary ethernet adapters are backordered. Seems to have good range and throughput. TP-LINK is an underrated brand.
