    I needed to Connect a wired ethernet device to the internet by connecting to a cellular WiFI hotspot. The TP-Link Range Extender can be configured as a Wifi Bridge and it allowed me to connect my device to my cell. The app took a minute to set up, but it was easy to use. The device has been working flawlessly for over 3 months at the time of this review.

    Installed easily following directions included with device. Installed inside a stick built shop about 75 feet from router located inside a wood home and boosts wifi strength well. Works as advertised. I've had it up and running for about a month now without any problems.

    Helped get rid of a dead spot on my porch. Has been a great purchase so far and takes up no space just an outlet. Easy to set up using WPS. Instructions were great and gave me some usefull ideas of where to place it rather than my first hunch. TV's have also looked much better.

    It seemed our Internet reception in our living room was becoming worse and worse, to the point that a streamed movie would play a few seconds, buffer, play, buffer. So I did a search to learn about range extenders and found TP-Link were always listed as one of the top brands. Of the models reviewed, the RE505X was the one my local Best Buy had in stock, so I headed off to get one. I followed the quick setup guide, connected with the app I downloaded to my phone and the extender found my WiFi just fine. First thing I did was sit down and watch a streamed movie, not one hiccup or buffer thru out several hours of viewing. I did notice, however, the next night I was getting some buffering, so I moved the Chromecast from the 5G WiFi to the 2.4G and it's been happy ever since. For the $80 this cost me, I'm very pleased with it's performance. I would definitely recommend!

    Great extender and easy setup. Needed more coverage in the backyard to listen to music by the firepit. Plugged in this unit inside close to the back door. Solved the issue!

    Had this product for 2 years now. Works great and is the 3rd one I run in my house. With the main rotor and 2 of these devices my WIFI goes all the way outside to my back yard and side patio. Also runs exterior Ring cameras.

    This range extender works fully as advertised, easy to use plug and play, gives me almost 3 achers of range on my property. This is a must for if you live rural and work away from the house but still need an undisrupted connection.

    The Link RE505X WI-FI Extender was very easy to set up and connect to existing WI-FI. It improved immensely the strength of the signal and eliminated buffering which was happening very frequently before installing the extender.
