Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a pretty good adapter. My signal increased by about 30%. Not the best, but ok. I'm sure it depends on the size of your home as well.

Reasonable price, works as described. Would buy again

Not a magic bullet but it does help...and nice that you can still use the outlet.

I purchased this to extend my wifi because, at times, the camera in the back of the house wouldn't show up on my tablet. After purchasing this item, no more problems and the price was right. Installation was easy, up and working in a few minutes

Did not see any difference between this router vs. other more or less expensive routers. All of them have sometimes dropped service in the areas where they had service just a few min ago. After a while (time varies) the service is available again.

I had no signal on opposite end of my house from my WiFi, I researched and decided to try this one since it wasn't to expensive. works good have signal now. I am having an issue with having to turn the wifi off and on on my phone to change from receiving my main transmitter to the repeater. I think it is more of a placement issue on the repeater so been trying different outlets.

This item would not work with my router, should be fine it suited.

The challenge is finding the right placement, once that is done you are great. I now have coverage in my garage, front\back porches and the entire house with 9 devices, no interruptions.

No matter where I put this thing in the house it was either too far or too close. I returned it and have since went with a powerline based solution and I'm far happier.

Excellent! Works great. I had difficulty installing it but it was because of the router.

I've had great success with TP-Link products in the past, and this one is no exception. My home is not particularly large, but it is an older stone house that has an extension on the back. The extension is beyond the stone wall, so getting WiFi back there is always a bit tricky. What I did was place this device in the extension but close to a doorway that has a line-of-sight to my WiFi router. In effect, I made a periscope. Now the second floor which was always blocked by a stone wall gets the signal from the TP-LINK range extender which has a better line of site to the main router. Of course, like any extender, it will lower your data rates slightly as it must essentially split the channel, but it works well enough for me to get NetFlix in my bedroom, so I'm happy. As an added bonus, it was not only easy to setup, but it has an outlet pass-through, and a jack for plugging in a computer that might not have a WiFi card. I already added a TP-Link wireless card to my PC, but if I didn't have that in there, this would have been a welcome feature and quite a cost savings. Definitely recommended both as an extender and wifi bridge.

It took a bit to configure but once that was done it works as it says it does.

It kind hard to get connect wifi but when it works it works good

Once finished with setup unit gave a "too close" indication relative to cable modem location. Like the pass thru outlet but other than that its junk. I returned the item to the store.

It did something but reduced the signal so I returned it. Squad guy said to buy a newer router a 1750 or something like that

The only feature that I liked was The fact that you do not give up an outlet. Wi-Fi was shut off periodically.

I purchased this item and it did not work as described. It did not enhance my Wi-Fi at all, so I returned it.

As always I am amazed at how great TpLinks products are. The TL-WA860RE is a perfect addition to my home network. It has givin me internet in areas of my home that i was unable to get it before. I love that it has the power outlet pass thru socket. It is small and compact and blends in well. The intelligent signal indicator makes finding the perfect spot for the extender a breeze. I'm also glad that it has a WPS button to make setup alot quicker. Since installing the TL-WA860RE I have really had no problems to report. The TL-WA860RE has one 10/100 speed port that works perfect for a game console in the kids bedroom. Before installing my son was complaining that his game was lagging and now I have heard not one complaint. For the price and performance I am definitely recommending the TL-WA860RE to my family and friends. I know that they will definitely be happy with thier purchase. This is a review of a free product received from TP-LINK as part of the review program.

The signal this thing puts out is great. It covers basically my whole house when my router was not able to.The automatic setup was easy.Very good product!

I decided to get a new WiFi extender because whenever I streamed TV shows and movies (previously purchased an Amped|Wireless extender for the internet box connected to my living room TV), the buffering would 5 hours to watch a 1 hour movie! I couldn't decide between this extender (TP-Link Wi-Fi Range Extender with AC Passthrough) or the Netgear AC750, so I bought them both. The speeds I got are listed below: TP-LINK pass-Thru: 12 Mbps DL; 11.26 Mbps UL (highest speed recorded) NETGEAR vAC750: 26 Mbps DL; 11.06 Mbps UL (lowest speed recorded) Secretly, I wanted this one to work better because of the extra outlet, but I placed the Netgear ext in a further, more idyllic location and STILL got better results. Sadly, I took the TP-Link Extender back and kept the Netgear extender. PLEASE NOTE: It's not a bad extender at all! But for an internet box or if you do a lot of streaming, you might want to go with someone with a little more power.
