||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Most of the time there is only one bar on the strength of the wi-fi which is suppose to be at least 3 bars. When using the location tether it sometimes indicates that the location is just right and at other times indicates that the location is too far. I have tried moving it several times but there doesn't seem to be an ideal location for it to work strong enough to span the 30ft between the gateway and the tv. As a result I have waited too long to return this extender due to the snow and trying to get it to work right. The 15 day maximum return time is too short for me but I will have to keep it now that I waited too long to return it.

Posted .Hi,
If you haven't noticed a significant improvement in WiFi coverage after installing the extender, we recommend relocating the unit to 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.
We also recommend ensuring the extender's firmware is fully up to date using the steps outlined in our FAQ here: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1406/
If you'd 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

AWESOME!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a doubt at first on ordering it but I gave it a try coz of the good reviews and how cheap it is. I’m so happy I did it :-) Products arrived on time and in very good condition. Upon opening box some of the inflated plastic were popped (as you can see in the collage photo) but my orders were all good and no damage. Setting it up gave me no hassle coz our router is WPS ready (I suggest downloading the app, it’s much easy and faster) and I’m no computer geek so I did the set-up quickly. My family were so happy and pleased that their gadgets’ speed improved and much faster than before. I bought three by the way, one for my room, for my son and for my sister’s room in the second floor (router is in the first floor). Much mahalo! (plenty shaka’s! ^_^)

Work Perfectly On My Home Network
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My router is in the back of the house. The signal was weak in the living room. Sometimes it dropped in the front yard. Now that I've added a range extender, the signal comes in strong and the dropping problem stopped. The TP-LINK TL-WA850RE isn't hard to set up. It really made a difference on my network.

Works great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Relatively easy setup, considering my advanced age and technical ignorance. Once I found the correct button, cleaver concealed on the bottom of the router, I was able to pair the two gizmos and got a strong signal at the far end of the house where I needed it. This unit replaced another one that was 4X the price that crapped out after about 3 years. Very pleased so far. It seems like no one carries the less expensive models in stores and push the top of the line at higher prices when some of us don’t need all the bells and whistles.

Useful to my purpose
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works perfectly. I have had internet connection both with an ethernet cord to my desktop and wireless to my laptop, cellphone and tablet without any trouble. Moreover, the range is high. I haven't noticed any change on the internet speed but I mainly got it to be able to connect my desktop computer in my room to the internet without using a large internet wire from the router in the living room.

Q: QuestionDoes this device need to be plugged in with an Ethernet cord to work, or can it just be plugged into a wall outlet and connected wirelessly to a router to work? And how far is its range? Thanks in advance!
Asked by Tre.
- A:Answer Just plug it in the wall no extras needed. The range is not great at all
Answered by Snobbish
Q: QuestionWould a wifi repeater increase download speed of articles I want to see on my computer.
Asked by RIcky.
- A:Answer No, WiFi extenders are designed to increase the range of WiFi coverage in your home, not specifically to increase your connection speed. That being said, in some scenarios, improving coverage for devices in dead zones can improve overall WiFi experience. Regards, TP-Link Support
Answered by TPLinkSupport
Q: QuestionShould this also work with Xfi Xfinity Gateway modem as well in which is what I have.
Asked by Dave.
- A:Answer Yes, our WiFi extenders are universally compatible with WiFi routers. Please bear in mind that if your gateway is dual-band (both 2.4GHz and 5GHz), you may want to consider one of our dual-band extender options. Regards, TP-Link Support

Q: QuestionI bounce off my neighbor's wifi that's across the street, will this work

Q: QuestionI play video games on my laptop in my room and my router is downstairs. I have horrible reception since I’m not plugged into an ethernet.If I plug this into an outlet in my room and then use the ethernet cord to connect my laptop, would connection be good
Asked by Helpme.
- A:Answer Theoretically, it may help; however please bear in mind that WiFi extenders repeat the quality of signal they receive. If your router's signal is poor in your room, there's a chance the extender may repeat that same quality of signal. That being said, if the extender can capture a better signal than your laptop, you may see an improvement. Regards, TP-Link Support
