      Hi BobD,

      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: 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,

    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.

    I purchased this to extend my WI Fi while temporarily living in a condo during my move across the state, the had its own Wi Fi and I needed a boost It was not the best. Had trouble connecting. When I bought my house, I needed a boost of Wi Fi. This was not the best choice. Needed stronger signal

      With Range Extenders, placement is everything. Extenders can only provide what they receive so to get a good signal, you need to place the extender in an open, unobstructed area with a strong signal from the host AP/Router. If you do have the product in such an area then please make sure its fully updated on the latest firmware and if you need to reach out to TP-Link support for assistance. tplink

    Did not enhance our television feed one bit from our modem to our bedroom TV. It looks impressive where it's plugged in, but was told by our Comcast person that it would help, but it has not.
