Works perfectly!!!
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Needed this to get internet to a detached garage. Plugged into the ceiling garage door opener outlet thanks to the small firm factor. Picked up my 5ghz with no issue. Said the 2.4ghz was weak. But the two 2.4ghz only devices in the garage worked fine (after a few tries). No complaints so far!!

Works great, though takes some doing
||Posted .New home, new wi-fi provider, not super reviews on the provider, and expected holes in coverage appeared quickly. Wirecutter recommended this, BB sent it to my semi-rural location, and I followed the instructions to the last word. I am NOT a novice, but communication between server and extender was not occurring. Called the 888 number and received the best, BEST, tech support ever. Yes, they were selling their services and when I called the next day, they were right there for me.

Posted .Hi,
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 free 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,
TP-Link Support

Great Extender and Converter
||Posted .Extender works great to boost signal strength over longer distances in my apartment. The app also lets you customize the functionality -- you can effectively convert a strong 5Ghz signal to one on the 2.4Ghz band (for instance if your older devices don't support 5Ghz).

Decent range extender
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Works to boost signal to my hastily set up work from home office. Some issues with Zoom calls but I usually do those closes to the router so the junk in the spare bedroom isn't on display.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionDo I HAVE to use the ethernet cable? Or does it work wirelessly?
Asked by Da6969.
- A:Answer No, the ethernet port is just in case you have a device that only works wired. Wireless is the normal mode of operation.
Answered by RichB
Q: QuestionI have very strong 2.4 and 5Ghz WIFI throughout the home. However, I have a few TVs that only connect to 2.4Ghz band that is very noisy in my neighborhood. Can this device be used simply as a 5Ghz to Ethernet "RJ-45" adaptor? Turning off Extender?
Asked by AlexB.
- A:Answer I haven't specifically attempted to only leave 5Ghz on by itself but the option to cut off the 2.4Ghz band is available while leaving the 5Ghz on. I have used this device to grab the WIFI and plug directly into a device that was Ethernet only and it worked like a charm is the best that I can confirm.
Answered by Roborob
Q: QuestionWill this device work well with wow internet system ?
Asked by Hawk.
- A:Answer Yes, at least at home it worked very well. You just have to check the scope you want because its efficiency distance is limited.

Q: QuestionAre there two (2) versions of the AC750 WIFI Extender, one with external antennae and one without? And do they work together when mixed?
Asked by William.
- A:Answer AC750 is a WiFi classification; not necessarily a product model. We do offer multiple WiFi extender models in the AC750 range, and yes, they can be used together since our WiFi extenders are universally compatible. Regards, TP-Link Support

Asked by subverb.
- A:Answer All of our WiFi extenders are universally compatible with WiFi routers. For optimal results, we recommend installing the adapter in a position within your home where the router's WiFi 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. That being said, your home's physical layout will always play a role in WiFi propagation, whether from a router or WiFi extender.
