      Hi NickS,

      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/

      The extender should steadily remain in the outlet once plugged in. We would recommend trying another outlet to see if the symptom persists.

      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,

      Hi JonathanB,

      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 and 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 contact 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.

    Does what it says and I can notice a big difference for online gaming which was the main reason I purchased this. Also made a big difference in streaming down stairs (router is up stairs). I would recommend.

      Hi Mike,

      In general, range extenders are not going to boost speed. Their primary purpose is to increase range. To effectively use the extender it needs to be placed in the correct location. Extenders should be placed between the router and where the extra coverage is required. They should be in an open and unobstructed area with a strong signal. You can reach support at 866-225-8139 if you need assistance.

      Best Regards
