Keeps disconnecting ethernet from laptop
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is so frustrating! All the lights are showing blue on the extender with good signal. I connect my ethernet cord to the extender and then to the laptop and it pops up for the first 5mins and then switched back over to wifi. This is so frustrating trying to work from home

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. Your laptop's network adapters are controlled by their drivers and software configuration within the laptop's operating system. For example, the laptop will choose when to connect to either medium based on the drivers of the adapters in your laptop.
We would first recommend ensuring your laptop's network adapter drivers are fully up to date. If the symptom persists, you can also consider temporarily toggling your laptop's Wi-Fi off while it is connected via Ethernet, to prevent it from attempting to force the Wi-Fi connection while wired.
Our support team is always happy to help answer any questions you may have about our products. Please feel free to reach out 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.

Posted .Hi SharonF,
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/
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.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, it has very little help in making Comcast signals more available. It only tells me when it is available and when it is not. Comcast just stalls and give us little help in resolving the issue of fair to poor signals.

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/

Posted .With range extenders, placement is everything. Ensure the extender is located in an open and unobstructed area with a strong signal from the host AP/Router. Also, remember that extenders are not designed to provide faster internet speeds. They are primarily designed to improve signal reception. Extenders can only transmit in one direction at a time: to the router or to the client. Because of this, speeds can be and often are a bit slower than when the client is connected to the router with a signal of similar strength.
Terrible at extending any kind of decent speeds
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought trying to eliminate buffering while have 1gb download speeds. Tv would get 20-40 mb before but would still buffer. Connected to extender and would only get 3-5 mb download and 500k upload. Wouldnt even load most of the time
