    Been working well. Disconnects sometimes but I don’t know if it’s from this unit or the original Wi-Fi router. Adds a good amount of range.

    Bought a new home and had a lot of trouble getting wifi within my home. I had a lot of dead spots and was getting tired of it. I purchased this range extender as well as a new modem/router and now I get wifi all over and around my house! Very pleased with this purchase

    Unfortunately, I purchased an oven (GE) because it had an air fryer...but could not utilize this function unless it could connect to the internet. The extender was easy to install and works great!

    I needed a WiFi extender as mine had stoped working. It was easy to set up, and has worked very well since I set it up. I use Mac’s and a Netgear modem and WiFi connection to the internet. It resets itself after power failures every time. I would recommend this extender.

    I had issues with my garage camera due to the wifi not reaching, bought this little extender abd bow i have no issues. Definitely recommend. Only con is that while it does work as an extender it makes you set up the wifi as another wifi profile

    This is one of those things that sits in an outlet and you do not have to think about it. It extends the Wi-Fi in our home from the first floor to the second. Great product.

      Hi Alexus,

      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 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 needed to connect my PC (which doesn't have a wifi card) using an Ethernet cable. I didn't want to have a lengthy amount of cable going through the house to reach the router. The extender was a great solution thanks to the Ethernet connection. You can set it up without downloading the app but it's not as effective. Eventually I had to download the "Tether" app for sake of ease.

    We have a huge house. Getting the signal for our internet from one end to the other is or should i say, was difficult. This has the job covered.
