    This was fairly easy to set up. We had a huge dead zone in our house and the extender has helped a great deal. I didn't give it 5 stats because though it was not hard to set up, it was not super easy either and we had to move it several times.

    This extended strengthened signal for one of our devices that lacked a WiFi card, allowing us to hook in to it via Ethernet. Felt very pricey, given that this was the cheapest available option, but nevertheless I am satisfied with this purchase

    Seemed like a good idea; however it cannot overcome a weak input signal; setup procedure not obvious and prominent enough; requires larger font size and signage saying SETUP!

      Hi JamesB,

      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 away from the router to extend its range effectively. Please verify that the RE status LED is indicating a solid connection.

      We also recommend that you ensure the extender's firmware is fully up to date by following the steps outlined in FAQ 1406 on our official website: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1406/

      If you need assistance with any of these steps, please contact our support team using the resources included with the product or our official website, and we'll be happy to have a Support Agent follow up with you directly.

      Thank you,
      TP-Link Systems Support tplink
