    I got my parents a new TP-Link AX router that supported mesh. They have close to 4000sqft. This really helped give them whole home coverage.

    It was easy enough to set up, but after a few weeks the performance is not impressing me and I’m probably going to replace it. I had to hard reset it once because it wouldn’t accept the password we’d been using the whole time. Fine, whatever, one reset. Worse yet, the device drops service throughout the day, and this is when I’m feet away from the device. My laptop or phone will show a blip where the extender drops offline. When it’s working, the speed is great. But I can’t rely on this for working from home. I can’t get cut out of video calls twice in 30 minutes. My UniFi app is showing flawless service to the extender, so this is wholly an issue with the TP Link device.

    Being computer dumb, I had to get my son-in-law to set this up. I'm sure my dog could have done it as well. It does run warm which is some concern for me. My wife said the far outside camera dose run a little faster.

    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.

    The TP-Link did not solve our issue so we took returned it. Honestly our issue was a tall order that ATT couldn't handle either. TP-Link was the least expensive option.

      Hi JimS,

      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. To locate this FAQ, visit our website, enter 1406 in the top-right search field, and then click the corresponding FAQ in the search results.

      We regret to hear you ultimately decided to return the extender. If you have any questions about our products in the future, our support team is always happy to help. Feel free to contact us through any of the resources provided with the product or on our official website, and a Support Agent will follow up with you directly.

      Thank you,
      TP-Link Systems Support tplink

    I've become a huge fan of the interface that TP Link has created for managing your devices. I've used equipment that's more expensive and supposedly more professional but the interfaces have been very poorly designed. This one's well worth the money especially with a great interface
