    Quite easy to set up and extends both bands, as advertised. It is also quite unobtrusive, with four small lights to let you know how it's doing.

    I don't usually leave reviews for products but this one is great! Had a dead spot in our garage/back yard. Set this up halfway between there and our router. Works amazing.

      Posted .

      Hi,

      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
