Not working
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hard to set up since very dependent on being within range of the wifi router. Then after successful setup, find out that it was not even transmitting. No difference whether plugged in or not as far as getting more range to my devices.

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. To locate this FAQ, visit our website and enter 1406 in the top-right search field, then click the corresponding FAQ in the search results.
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.

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. If you are having difficulty connecting the Wi-Fi Extender to your router, please first ensure the extender is physically located in an area where your router's Wi-Fi signal is sufficiently strong/stable. If using the WPS setup method, please ensure the steps were performed in the correct order, or the root network's password is correctly entered if using the web or Tether setup options.
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/

TP-Link RE505X - A Game Changer!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installation was a breeze, thanks to the intuitive setup process. I was up and running in no time, with the TP-Link RE505X seamlessly extending my Wi-Fi coverage to those hard-to-reach areas of my home. The difference in connectivity and speed was noticeable immediately. Streaming, gaming, and video calls are now smooth and uninterrupted, even in previously problematic spots.

Posted .Hello Barrett,
That is unfortunate we would have loved the opportunity to help resolve this concern before you were forced to return the device. Please not in the future TP-Link support is available 24/7 to help you when you need it. https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/contact-technical-support/

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/
