    Setup was a breeze and my downstairs WiFI is far more reliable. Paired with a basic Xfinity router easily. Downstairs TV has a Roku which was constantly dropping WiFi; this device put an end to that.

    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 tried this out to help extend the wifi for my ring cameras. It did help, but not significantly so I decided to return. Didn’t realize I only had a 2 week window to do so I had to receive store credit which was a bummer.

      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 extend its range effectively. 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 contact 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 Support tplink
