    In a house that is all brick from the 30s. This came in super handy. The modem lives on the second floor on the far east side of the house. I was able to put this in my office downstairs to boost the WiFi to get to our master bedroom!

    There’s no interruption with the signal despite placing the extender on two different floors. When the power went out, it immediately reconnected with the main router when the power was back. I connected my ps5 and so far, everything is great.

    Easy to setup! Did the setup in 10 mins. Coverage is good but not as good as expected. I live in a 1,500 square foot and have a finished basement. I get ok signal in my bed room and parts of the basement. The unit is fast and reliable.Recommend for 900-1,200 square foot home.

    I have seen good reviews about the distance of these adapters, but had no idea how awesome the range is! I have a shop that sits around 100 feet from my house and it reaches with ease and very little drop off.

    I had terrible dead spots inside the house. Especially upstairs as my router was in an office downstairs. The TP-Link works great. Super Easy to set-up. Works flawlessly - much better connection speeds, even with multiple devices streaming and gaming. Definitely recommend!

    Works really well, speed slows down fairly significantly, but for watching YouTube or accessing the internet on my wireless devices this does the trick. It extends my wifi all the way out to the street. I live with someone who doesn’t have cellular data and he’s never offline.

    I needed a simple fix to boost my Wi-Fi signal, and the TP Link was a very cost-effective way to do this. I followed the instructions (yeah, I'm a guy. So what) and had my TV working with no problems in just a few moments. I am very happy with the results.

    Needed a Spectrum compatible wi-fi extender to expand coverage to 3 season room and basement since our router is on the second floor. WPS connection did not seem to work but the proprietary app worked perfectly. Super strong signal, very fast, exactly what I needed to have dependable coverage through the whole house.

    Wifi extender

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It works most of the time, it has helped me connect the devices that are far downstains from the modem, the signal sometimes is stable and some other times it will disconnect but that might be an issue with the wifi in the house because the house is made of concrete, which makes it hard to the reception to be sent across rooms

    I needed an extension for my home modem, and this fit the bill exactly. Was very easy to install and set up and it has been working flawlessly since it was put in. I would highly recommend this to anyone needing to extend the range of their personal modem in their home.

    Setup was very simple, had no issues connecting the extender to the wifi. I had a dead spot in my room and now I haven't had any issues, delays, or buffering. I work from home so this extender was a lifesaver!!

    I placed my extender close to my front door of my brick home. The reason for this was a security camera I had mounted outside and wifi signals to the camera was always glitchy. Until now, this range extender works, all the images live and photoed are crisp and clear. I am getting my moneys worth. Excellent product

    After opening this extender up, I was hoping it would just be plug and play, and it is if your router is already setup properly. My WPS switch was off and could only be turned on through the software. After I got it on, setup was a breeze. Not much of a need to be technically inclined. I absolutely recommend if you get this extender, to download the TP Link app onto your phone and create an account. It will allow you to switch this device from repeater to extender based on your needs. It comes already in repeater mode.
