  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Excellent price. Very good product.

    Router is in the front of the house. Have a back porch finished off. That jets out beyond the house. TV was buffering a lot and couldn't want a certain streaming programs that I pay for. This was inexpensive, simple to install hooked up without issue. Tap is extremely simple to operate to check the signal. It's really foolproof. Even though it's the cheapest one they had it works very well. I stream Cinemax. Amazon, Hulu, Netflix which all previously buffered so bad you couldn't watch a show. Now it connects flawlessly and no buffering. Very quick response on the TV now to the signals. Everything loads of each app quickly and instantly. I just put the extender in the upstairs at the back of the house as you go down the stairs. The signal reaches the back porch without issue. Definitely would recommend this again especially because it's very inexpensive. I would recommend this product.

    TP Link Extender Does The Job

    This WiFi extender was a great investment and I should have purchased it a long time ago. I had issues connecting my wireless printer due to the location and once I set up and connected the TP Link, no more issues. The set up was quick and easy and the App is great. Such a great purchase and I have multiple devices connected with super fast speeds.

    Skeptical at first but so glad I purchased

    Took me a few months to hook it up because I didnt know if I was going to be able to. It was easy. My spectrum router is in living room and wanted to get more reach and speed in bedrooms. It worked great and gives its own wifi network name and password. It doesnt compromise my main router’s speed. Not that I noticed and we run 5 phones, 3 ipads, 3 smart tv’s security cameras and wifi plugs and lights and a ps5. Best when bought on sale. Wait, it goes back on sale often.
