Posted .Hi,
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 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,

Posted .Hello Heather,
When it comes to Range Extenders, it's all about placement. They need to be placed between the router and where you want the service to reach to. This area needs to have an open, unobstructed, and have a strong signal. Range Extenders have about the same coverage area as routers do. If an Extender does not meet your coverage needs, i would recommend Mesh
Best Regards

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/

Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live in a standard house and there’s no crazy walls made out of brick or anything.

It's ok
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not sure if it's the extender or my Roku, but still have fuzzy picture
I would recommend this to a friendNot worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My internet service provider offers a wi-fi extender it’s twice the price but works well. This has limited range and is good for a single room in your house. If you want better coverage spend a little more on a better item.
