Pretty nice little device
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had a few issues with packet loss but overall it does a good job spreading the wi-fi to dead zones in the basement. I like the clear indicators on the face, the movable antennae, and the port on the side so you can get ethernet directly from it is pretty sweet.

Extender pushes good signal
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Now i get a signal out at the workshop. Its a metal building so signal inside is weaker than outside.The new receipt location is about 300' from extender so it's sending a signal to the outer reaches of the acerage, nice.

TP link performance
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good performance and it was consistent in terms of performance and reliability
I would recommend this to a friend Horrible
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this so i can hardwire my new Gaming PC. The okays, It did improve speed, but not a lot. I have 600mbps internet plan, but was only getting 8mbps download on wifi on my PC, with this plugged in it got boosted to around 35ish mbps download. So 4-5x faster, but still, 30mbps is awful. I have this installed less than 20 feet away from the main router(main router bottom of stairs, this top of stairs), with no interference, so where is the rest of the speed? The bad, When i lose connection to this router, it takes about an hour to reestablish another connection. I accidently unplugged it before and my PC or phone was not getting any internet at all. I restarted my router, my pc, this router and nothing. Finally just reset this router, and restarted the setup process and it worked again. And the app is awful. Too much hassle, so just going to buy 100 ft ethernet cable instead.

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. Please bear in mind, Wi-Fi extenders utilize half-duplex transmission. As a result, throughput when connecting to the extender may be reduced when compared to the router. This is an industry standard for Wi-Fi extenders and is not exclusive to TP-Link.
In your case, we recommend relocating the unit to a position in your home where the router's Wi-Fi signal is sufficiently strong; yet far enough from the router to effectively extend its range.
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. 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.
Thank you,
TP-Link Support
