Posted .Hi lmtrevino7,
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 that 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,

Would recommend.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far this product has been working pretty well. I purchased it to be able to hard wire directly to my Xbox for better connections speeds and it’s worked perfectly.
I would recommend this to a friendTerrible experience with Best Buy. Done.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item is worthless. It doesn't extend the same network, it creates a new network that you have to connect to. So all your devices in the extended area aren't connected to the same network, making your systems unconnected to each other. Not as advertised. In addition, when I went to return it, Best Buy refused to refund me the money because I was past their ridiculous 2 week return window. So I am stuck with a piece of worthless tech and I'm out $65. Not only will I never buy anything made by TP Link again, I am done with Best Buy. I will take the thousands of dollars I spend most years on tech to some other retailer. I would give it zero stars if I could, and zero stars to Best Buy.

Posted .Hi Mike,
Thank you for your review. TP-Link Wi-Fi Range Extenders offer the ability to copy the Wi-Fi name and password of your original network, so your wireless devices can automatically connect between it and your router. The extended network operates within the same LAN as your router, so devices on the extender can conveniently communicate with devices connected to the router.
Our support team is always happy to help answer any questions you may have about our products. Please feel free to reach out 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,
