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/
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,

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/

TO-Link AX15000
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Item but I didn't realize it was an open extension, NO PASSWORD. SO with my Cox Cable 550 Mb speed I did not want to attracy my neighbors to me connection so I returned it
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDevice is trash TP-Link Customer Service is worse
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The device is garbage and TP-Link Customer Service is useless. Go with another brand. The device never worked that well, but after about 3 months it would drop offline and not reconnect unless you unplugged it and plugged it back in. Going back and forth with customer service for 2 months now to get a replacement and they are dragging their feet. I wont use them again

Extender?? Does not extend at all!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had high expectations for this device. I installed external wireless cameras that required wifi and I’ve got a ton of dead zones within the house and in the backyard so I assumed this extender would help and it didn’t do anything at all so I’m quite upset given the price because I’ve been waiting month after month to see if it’ll get better or actually impact what I need it to impact.

No OneMesh for A9
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Despite the Tp-Link Archer A9 router being one of their more expensive offerings, TP-Link has deemed this router not worthy of a firmware upgrade to allow for OneMesh support, despite having the support on older, less expensive models. I advise going with something like the Netgear mesh solution, as it is much cheaper if you compare the cost of the A9 and this Wi-fi extender. A real shame they won't just update the A9 firmware.

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. We hear your concerns regarding OneMesh compatibility and the ArcherA9 Wi-Fi router, and we will share it with the appropriate team for consideration. That being said, we always recommend visiting our official website's OneMesh page to determine current OneMesh product compatibility: https://www.tp-link.com/us/onemesh/product-list/
