    Not worth all the false claims on their website, it covers a lot of square footage, i plugged it and installed it less than 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2 and 1 foot away from my WiFi router and not a chance to get any better wifi at home. Do not waste your money on any wifi extenders, They never ever work. I even tried the $1,000 netgear ones and nada.

      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 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 Support tplink

    This boosted my download speed from ~40 to 350mb/s after installing. Before I would have really unstable connection and slow speeds but now everything is stable and fast allowing me to download games from what used to be 2 hours in 30 minutes.
