    Easy set up and works well. Replicates the signal well. Also gives you all the latest features of WIFI 6 (AX) and WPA3. Plus if you want to hard wire into the side of it with an ethernet cord you can... which is a bonus. No issues dropping internet, very stable. I have the TP-Link AX21 router as well which is great for the price point.

    The only thing I don’t like about this tp link is that you can’t lock the WiFi so it’s not a secure WiFi connection I have two other devices and they are a locked connection

    Works perfectly for an extender with added ethernet functionality. This is great for putting a 2.4Ghz wireless appliance on the faster speed of 5G by using ethernet instead, like consoles.

    This works great, just took a little moving around to find the sweet spot. My router is one one end of the house, but this lets me connect everything that is on the other end, including outside.

    Works as wifi extender. But I can use only one said. Wish it is customizable to have dual wifi channel works. I have set it with one channel ssid for 2.4 and 5 hz

    This fixed our range problem! We have a large two-story house with a home office on one side of the house on the main level which is where our main Wi-Fi box is. We put this range extender upstairs in the hallway and now have perfect Wi-Fi through the entire house.

    I live in an old farm house and my upstairs is a wifi dead zone, I already had a TP link router so setup was easy. All I did was plug it in, install the app to my phone and follow along with the setup wizard and the dead spot was gone.
