    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.

    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!!

    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 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

    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.

    Installed easily following directions included with device. Installed inside a stick built shop about 75 feet from router located inside a wood home and boosts wifi strength well. Works as advertised. I've had it up and running for about a month now without any problems.

    Fantastic product. Did exactly what we needed. Employee was very helpful. Best Buy is where we shop first. By the way, the fridge we purchased 2 years ago is going strong, and I LOVE IT! I like the freezer on the bottom. I can see everything.

    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.
