Extends range at a cost
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Creates its own SSID based on your connection to pair too. Once paired it'll extend the range easily but at the cost of Internet speed. Went from 1gig speeds to less than 90 mbs with it.

Posted .Hi MichaelA,
Thank you for your review. Wi-Fi extenders utilize half-duplex transmission to receive and retransmit your router's Wi-Fi signal. As a result, throughput when connecting to the extender may be lower than when connecting to the router. This is an industry standard for Wi-Fi extenders and is not exclusive to TP-Link.
In your case, we recommend relocating the unit to a spot in your home where the router's Wi-Fi signal is sufficiently strong yet far enough from the router to extend its range effectively. We also recommend ensuring the extender is extending the router's 5 GHz band and that your devices are connecting to 5 GHz for best results.
If you'd 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 the support portal on our official website, and we'll gladly have a Support Agent follow up with you directly.
Thank you,

I would recommend this to a friend RANGE EXTENDER
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Posted .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,
