Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works better than my old company provided pc internet adapter in my signal crowded apartment.

Posted .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,

Internet extender. Terrible customer service.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Couldnt get it to synch with my router. Brought it back, upgraded and still didnt work. The manager gave me a hard time getting my refund because it was 4 days past return date on receipt which nobody reads. I have been a customer for 30 years. Awful treatment. Manchester, Ct store.

Posted .Hi KeithS,
Thank you for your review. If you are experiencing difficulty connecting the extender to your router, we recommend setting up the device in the same room as your router, then relocating it after setup is complete. We also suggest re-verifying your router's Wi-Fi password during setup, or if using the WPS setup method, ensuring the WPS process is performed in the correct order. The extender's indicator LEDs will help you determine which position in your home is ideal.
We also highly 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 TP-Link 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.

Posted .We would like to know more about this situation. Why were you not able to use the extender with your existing system? Was it because you have a mesh system that is only compatible with other mesh units or something else? Please reach out to us at ussupportteam@tp-link.com with a copy of this review so we can discuss this further.
Thank you
