      Hi Alexus,

      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/

      If you would like assistance with any of these steps, please reach out to 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 Systems Support tplink

    We recently upgraded our cable modem/router and also our internet speed. The wifi extender we had had for years was just not doing the job anymore. Instead of getting a more expensive extender from our cable company we did our research and found the TP-Link extender that would meet our needs, So far it has worked great!

    I used this for hotel rooms and AirBNBs where the WiFi is some distance away. Signal improvement is ~okay~ but not amazing, and it’s a pain to set up if you’re frequently using different networks.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hi BobBP,

      Thank you for your review.

      For quick and intuitive setup between networks, we highly recommend using the TP-Link Tether app, which lets you configure and manage the Range Extender and other TP-Link networking products from the convenience of your smartphone.

      If you would like assistance with any of these steps, please reach out to 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.

    Frankly, I can not speak to this device as a range extender. I can say, however, that I needed a hard-wired ethernet connection to a device about 50 feet and one floor away from my internet modem, and this has worked admirably to serve that purpose.
