My favorite feature of this wifi range extender is that it extends the range of my wifi.
Also, it contains an ethernet plug so I can plug my PS5 into it via cable. Set up is pretty simple, although it pushes you to DL another app and create an account. One more password to forget!

Initial setup failed to extend 2.4Gh signal.

Although my elderly parents live in a fairly small apartment in an assisted living facility, the in-apartment WiFi router provided by the building didn't reach the computer room with any strength. This device mostly fixed their problems. I say mostly, because on setup, the extender didn't find the 2.4Gh signal, only the 5G signal. It was not immediately clear how to fix this and I didn't have time to redo the setup and risk messing up what was already working. The setup, while not too difficult, seemed harder than it should have been.

I've been trying to extend reliable WiFi coverage to an outbuilding that's around 150 feet from my house. After several attempts with different systems I was skeptical that this one would work. Much to my surprise, I now have a reliable five bar signal capable of streaming live video sessions and movies. Couldn't be happier. Set up requires that you first establish a link in the same location as your router, then you can move to the area where you're looking for a better signal. No big deal, took more time walking between the house and outbuilding than to actually set it up!

Works great. I have two of these one for my gaming computer and the other for my work computer. I have not had any issues with them. They both were easy to set up also. I don't see any lag while gaming and all my work calls (I do scheduling for a hospital but at home) come though fine.

After my previous Linksys range extender stopped working, I replaced it with this, and the singal strength is stronger on the devices it serves when compared to the linksys.
The installation instructions are straightforward.
I didn't use the app to install it, btw. I just used my laptop and hit the IP address on the extender to configure it via the webpage it displayed.

4200 square foot home and needed to boost to the outside and this TP link range extender worked perfect and gave the outside as strong a signal as inside! I placed in in an outlet just inside the house , and once you plug it in , that’s it! It attaches to your signal and BOOM, you have a strong signal!

Absolutely top-notch performance! I had a massive dead zone in my upstairs office where Wi-Fi barely reached. This little extender completely solved the issue, delivering full-speed Wi-Fi 6 connectivity exactly where I need it. Setup took literally two minutes with the Tether app. It’s a total game-changer for my home network!

The range extender is used to reach a part of our home where there is no computer cable, but where it is needed. It works! The Extender found the router as soon as it was extended, and has continued to work flawlessly, even recovering from power outages without any intervention. Highly recommended.
