Highlights

  • Key Specs
    • Wi-Fi Speed: 1.75 gigabits per second (The maximum rate at which data is transferred between a network device and wireless router.)
    • Wireless Standard: AC (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
    • Wi-Fi Range: 2000 square feet (The device will provide a Wi-Fi connection to this approximate area.)
    • Form Factor: Plug-in (The size, arrangement, and physical configuration of the product.)
    • Band Technology: Dual (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
    • Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
    • Antenna Type: External
    • Number of Antennas: 3
    • Number of LAN Ports: 1 (Number of devices able to be connected to the Local Area Network (LAN). LAN ports allow wired connections to other networking devices (wireless access points, range extenders, etc.) in order to share the internet connection received through a WAN port.)
    • Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 5 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)

Whats Included
  • AC1750 Gigabit Wi-Fi Range Extender
  • Quick Installation Guide

Q: Will this work with a U-verse modem.

A: Yes. I have it working with a U-Verse modem. I first bought the AT&T range extender, but it did not work properly so I returned it. This TP LINK AC1750 extender is so much better than the AT&T extender!

Q: Is this compatible with Windows 10

A: Yes, WiFi extenders are universally compatible with WiFi devices and do not rely on operating system compatibility since they function on the network layer, not the application layer.

Q: I need a wifi range extender that can allow me to put a battery powered wireless security camera away from my house and closer to the road. Is this something that will cast the wifi signal a 100ft (approx.) away from the house to the camera?

A: Where are you getting the wifi, do you have it on your router, if so this will pair with your router and your network. 100ft is getting to the outside of its range, depending on and obstructions/walls/ect a signal has to go through. if you try this or any extender, download a wifi meter from the play store to your phone and check your signal strength ant various places/distances.

Q: can i use two of these in a chain? i’m trying to get wifi in my garage that is separated from the house, and i’m concerned that one booster will not reach all the way there.

A: I use this extender in a secondary position to get wi-fi to my rv, which is parked about 50 ft from the primary modem/router setup. Signal is good most of the time, drops occasionally, 1G is more stable than 5G connection.

Q: I have a smart TV and use wireless internet/wifi from my phone company. I only use this in my living room and want to know if this device will improve the connection and speed. Or is an improved router a better answer.

A: Theoretically, it can help improve connectivity as long as WiFi signal strength/range are the current cause of the issue with your router. However, if the speed issue is due to the router itself or your service, please bear in mind an extender will only repeat the quality of signal it receives from your router. Regards, TP-Link Support

  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Great to extend a network signal

    Using it as an Access Point (AP) gives it better performance than a simple Range Extender (RE). No need to try and boost a weak signal to begin with. We have Cat-6 throughout our home, so running this AC1750 from one of our network ports as an AP extends a Wi-Fi signal that our Verizon Wi-Fi 6 router cannot accomplish. We use this TP-Link-AC1750 (RE450) in the basement and a TP-Link-AC2600 (RE650) also as an RE on the 2nd Floor.

    Home on the Range

    As good as it was reviewed. Only issue I had was yard and garage. 17,500 square foot yard is now almost completely covered and the detached garage has a signal. Read the instructions and setup is fast and easy if you have a modern router they will find each other with two button pushes. I just purchased a new wifi modem and it didn't connect to the 5G the first time but now it is right as rain.

    Bulky and pricey, but gets the job done

    The TP Link WiFi extender does a good job at extending WiFi coverage. I put it in the mud room to extend coverage to the security camera on the garage, and I no longer have interruptions in recordings. I give this product 3 stars because of the size and price of the product and difficult setup. The product is about the size (height and width) of two hands together. It also has a bright blue light that you can’t turn off. It’s somewhat of a good thing if you want to use it as a night light.
