Too confusing and hard to use
You cannot just plug it in.
It was too confusing for me to use.
I could not get it programmed to the wifi and to my camera system.
Now its just sitting in the garage.

WIFI Range extender
I tried another make, but it was not constructed well, and software setup failed. Picked the TP-Link based on dependable brand and success in the past. Should have gone there first to extend WIFI to my wife's laptop and tv. Very easy to setup and link to each device.

Too much trouble
I have been working with computers since 1980, we all hailed "Plug and Play" technology. The manufacturer of this wifi booster should re-acquaint themselves with this term. I tried getting it connected via the internet/browser and by smartphone app. Spent 2 hours of my life trying and never got it working

Sometimes it works
I bought 2 of these because I wanted a smaller extender than the one we've had for years (amped wireless). At first, I thought it was disconnecting because we did have an issue with squirrels chewing through wires outside. After we got that fixed I thought maybe it's too far or walls in that part of the house too thick (we live in an old brick building) and nope. They j...

improves distance from router
I chose this TP-Link Wifi extender because we have a TP-Link router in one corner of our house and I thought the extender would be compartible. It was very easy to set up, since I already have the Tether app on my phone. I really appreciate that I could set the passwords for the ext-wifi to the same passwords as my 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi networks. The extension works well, ...

Great purchase
It was not easy to follow the instructions, but once installed the Extender works fantastic. Router and extender are downstair and equipment in the upper level have a great internet signal.

Easy to set up.
Extender was delivered on time and was easy to set up but range was not what I had hoped for. I placed the extender where I thought it might be the most effective to get the signal where I needed it. It did detect the 2.4 GHZ signal from the router but not the 5 GHZ. However the 2.4 GHZ signal was still weak where I needed it most. Will try to relocate the router an...

Working well
Fairly easy to install. The signal to our television was too weak for us to pick up several streaming stations - this solved the problem.

It's OK but not everything I hoped for.
Still working with placing it in different locations in the house. Haven't found a major improvement in WiFi reception in distant locations in our one story home yet.
The set up was pretty straight forward with no issues
