Customer Ratings & Reviews

After opening this extender up, I was hoping it would just be plug and play, and it is if your router is already setup properly. My WPS switch was off and could only be turned on through the software. After I got it on, setup was a breeze. Not much of a need to be technically inclined. I absolutely recommend if you get this extender, to download the TP Link app onto your phone and create an account. It will allow you to switch this device from repeater to extender based on your needs. It comes already in repeater mode.

Easy setup and it works. Although the documentation is a little to light, the setup process is easy enough for most users.

Difficult at first but after many tries it works fine.

Works well with existing wifi. Would recommend for purchase.

I needed an extension for my home modem, and this fit the bill exactly. Was very easy to install and set up and it has been working flawlessly since it was put in. I would highly recommend this to anyone needing to extend the range of their personal modem in their home.

Great product! Works flawlessly! It’s almost a plug-n-play.

The ease of installation and function of this extender is everything it advertised. I pushed the WPS on the modem and the Extender. It synced easily, and then I moved the extender to where it was needed, and the electronics I needed it for hooked up immediately.

Great range for the price. Still, if you’re looking for the best speeds across a wider range for with a mesh kit

Needed a Spectrum compatible wi-fi extender to expand coverage to 3 season room and basement since our router is on the second floor. WPS connection did not seem to work but the proprietary app worked perfectly. Super strong signal, very fast, exactly what I needed to have dependable coverage through the whole house.

WiFi range extender works great, employees were kind & helpful.

Easy to set up, works as advertised. Very happy with the performance.

This device has greatly reduced my frustration with lack of WiFi. Plugged it in upstairs, easiest setup I’ve ever done.

Excellent, I'm now able to connect to my wifi signal through out the entire house. From attic to cellar and from the front yard to the back yard.

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.

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!

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.

Great product worked amazing. For what i needed Thanks

I placed this extender outside under my patio cover so my shop would receive a stronger internet reception. It works great and the shop is about 90 feet from my house.

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!

No issues with this so far. It's been working great since i bought it a few weeks ago.
