    Stopped working after 2 days. After trying to fix it for 3 hours and factory resetting it 10 times it started working again but disconnected after one hour. I have to factory reset it multiple times and turn off 5g just to maybe get it to work for an hour. DO NOT BUY

    The extension was not what I was hoping for. I don't blame the manufacturer as I was able to extend it further then prior to the purchase.

    It was affordable and easy to install and it just barely increases the range of my wi-fi. I'm not impressed. I was told it would significantly increase the range of my router. Not so

      Hi,

      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 free 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,

    It's a booster...no different than many others - but is 500% cheaper than the internet and phone companies charge! While it has lessened the "freezing", it has not solved the problem!

      Hello New

      Placement of a Range Extender is key. They need to be placed in an Open and unobstructed area. This are should be between the router and where you want service extended to, and have a strong signal from the router. If you do have it in this area then please reach out to support at 866-225-8139.

      Best Regards

      TP-Link Systems Support. tplink

    I don't know if it's because of the way my house was built or the way Optimum fiber router works, but this didn't help
