The house has only one place for the router and is on the opposite side from the gaming setup. Intalling the extender about halfway between the router and my setup doubled the speeds on my xbox and pc and virtually eliminated my lag issues. It was super easy to set up and was a big improvement in online play.

Sure! Here's a well-written and realistic **positive review** of a TP-Link WiFi extender that you can use for a product page, blog, or personal feedback:

* 5/5 — Excellent Range Booster!**
I’ve been using the **TP-Link WiFi Extender (RE650)** for a few months now, and it has completely transformed my home internet experience. Before installing it, the signal in my upstairs bedrooms and backyard was either weak or non-existent. Now, I get strong, stable WiFi in every corner of the house — even the garage.
#Setup:
The setup was surprisingly easy. I just plugged it in, used the TP-Link Tether app, and within minutes it was up and running. The app guides you through the process step-by-step, and there’s even a signal strength indicator that helps you find the best placement.
# Performance:
This extender supports dual-band (2.4GHz & 5GHz), and I noticed almost no drop in speed compared to the main router. Streaming HD video, online gaming, and video calls all work smoothly now in places that used to have dead zones.
# Design & Features:
It’s compact and doesn’t take up much space on the wall. The built-in Ethernet port is also super handy — I use it to connect my smart TV directly for even faster performance. The signal strength lights are a nice touch to find the ideal location.
# Pros:
* Excellent range extension
* Fast, stable connection
* Simple setup with the Tether app
* Dual-band support
* Gigabit Ethernet port
# Cons:
* Slightly bulky, so may block nearby outlets
* Only one Ethernet port (not a dealbreaker)
# Final Verdict:
If you're struggling with WiFi dead zones in your home, I highly recommend this TP-Link extender. It’s affordable, reliable, and incredibly easy to use. Definitely one of the best tech purchases I’ve made this year.

Easy to setup! Did the setup in 10 mins. Coverage is good but not as good as expected. I live in a 1,500 square foot and have a finished basement. I get ok signal in my bed room and parts of the basement. The unit is fast and reliable.Recommend for 900-1,200 square foot home.

Easy to use, and tripled my internet speed. I like how I can use the app to turn off the LEDs so I don't have a night-light on my wall.

4200 square foot home and needed to boost to the outside and this TP link range extender worked perfect and gave the outside as strong a signal as inside! I placed in in an outlet just inside the house , and once you plug it in , that’s it! It attaches to your signal and BOOM, you have a strong signal!

Setup was simple with Tether App. It is not a grounded device and the weight can/will pull it out of the outlet. A small piece of velcro (half on the unit half on the outlet should keep it in place. Not a fan that there's no ground pin, but it works reasonably well, providing seamless WiFi throughout my basement that had lots of dead spots.

Works great. I have two of these one for my gaming computer and the other for my work computer. I have not had any issues with them. They both were easy to set up also. I don't see any lag while gaming and all my work calls (I do scheduling for a hospital but at home) come though fine.
