I would recommend this to a friendtp link extender
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The extender would have worked well, but my house is over 5000 sq ft and it just wasn't enough by its self to pull through the upstairs and downstairs, but if you have a home that's single level or even a house around 2000 sq ft it would be perfect

Posted .Hi AngelaB,
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. To locate this FAQ, visit our website and enter 1406 in the top-right search field, then click the corresponding FAQ in the search results.
Depending on the size and layout of your home, we would also recommend considering our Deco Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi solutions, which are designed to provide ample, reliable, seamless Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home.
Our support team is always available and happy to assist with any questions you may have about our products. Feel free to contact us through any of the resources provided with the product or on our official website, and a Support Agent will follow up with you directly.
Thank you,

- Pros mentioned:Overall performance
Better than its Predecessor
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The TP-Link Range Extender was a replacement for a similar device ... from a different company ... that had died. This device not only works better than it's predecessor ever did; it is much more compact. I recommend it.

||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The TP-Link RE505X is a great way of getting a cabled connection to a smart TV that the wi-fi has died on. It works great with Ring products as an extender.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat product. Most of the time.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this product so that i could use a wired connection for gaming. It works fine 90% of the time and the speed is super fast. But at least 2-3 times a week i have to reboot it because the connection is so slow that it wont sign in to PSN. Only a minor inconvenience, but im not sure why it does that.

I would recommend this to a friend I’m in shock by this extender BUT….
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m in shock. I honestly had horrible Wi-Fi in the upstairs portion of my home and struggled with it for years. This extender honestly did the trick. KEEP IN MIND THAT IT DOESNT WORK IMMEDIATELY. Give it a day or so to really pick up the signal and the results are amazing. Definitely recommend!
