    So happy with this Wi-Fi extender. We purchased this for our RV hoping we would get better Wi-Fi reception in out 5th Wheel. It works Great! Without it we couldn’t connect to the Campground wi-fi service because of Poor reception. After plugging it in it jumped to excellent reception. This makes us Happy Campers!

    I purchased this extender to get rid of dead Wi-Fi zones in my house. After activating, it worked for one evening. The next day it didn’t work. I got help from Best Buy and found that my router was had a weak network. The extender was trying to create another Wi-Fi network in the dead zones. It was too much for them to keep this going. I upgraded my router and it worked! I returned the extender.

      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/

      Additionally, one of the helpful features offered by the extender is its ability to copy, or "clone" your router's Wi-Fi SSID (name), so it appears as a single unified SSID, instead of a separate one.

      We regret to hear you decided to return the extender. If you have any questions about your TP-Link experience in the future, our support team is always available and happy to help.

      Thank you,
      TP-Link Support tplink
