Easy setup and flexible placement
Press the WPS button on your router and the Range Extender button on your 854RE within 2 minutes to easily connect to the network. Once connected to an existing router, you can simply unplug and plug the TL-WA854RE into a location for the best signal quality and coverage in your home, without needing to reconfigure the extender.
Smart Signal Indicator Light
5 signal lights indicate the strength of the signal received by the TL-WA854RE from the existing router, which can help you find the right place to position the range extender. It is recommended to choose a location where there are at least 3 signal LEDs to ensure good performance.
Tether App for Easy Use
Use any mobile device for easy access and management of various functions, including the LED night control mode, which allows you to enjoy a more peaceful night's sleep.

The first time I installed it, everything was fine. Two days later, I didn't have internet, even on two desktop computers, and honestly, I'm still trying to figure out how it managed to do that. The result? I don't use it anymore until I find time to see what is causing the issue
It causes disconnections on PCs that are connected directly to the router and not to the extender. Possibly due to https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/614778
For garbage! Besides the hassle of connecting it to the router (500 hours, had to download some app, then email, then it wouldn't connect, then it would find it) after it connected to an external camera, it didn't have internet throughout the whole house internally! WASTED MONEY! Ugh!
After about 1 year of continuous use, it started experiencing strange drops in internet speed and occasional disconnections, but overall it is very good and I can work comfortably
For a week that I have it, no problem, no disconnection.
For home, very good range.
For the connection, all you have to do is enter the router's password.
If you don't read the instructions, you will never connect it.
It works perfectly in my house (120sqm)!! I plugged it in next to the router (Vodafone), it synchronized and then I placed it outside the bedroom where I had no signal!! That's all I did, nothing else!! Everything is great!! Full speed, I have no issues at all!! P.S. It has never desynchronized on me!!!
For the money, a very good product! The process overall took me just 5 minutes. From a 100-meter range, I can get 30, which I believe is good for its price.
It needs to be unplugged and plugged back in every now and then because it stops connecting to devices, but our phones also need to be restarted occasionally, so why should this be any different?
My house is small so I can't speak for the range, but I have it connected to my cousin's router, one floor below, and it works fine.
P.S. The box says it's the 4th version, but the color of the lights (green) and the design of the packaging seem to indicate that it's version 3.
Good, gold, but every day you have to take it out and plug it back in because otherwise it doesn't connect to the phone. My phone sometimes has issues with the WiFi, but it's not justified for it to not connect until I unplug and plug it back in. It seems that maybe it's not just my phone's fault... However, it's very smart that it has a function to turn off the LED so it doesn't bother you at night, if it's placed in your room, and it also has the ability to adjust the signal strength depending on the size of the space you need to use it in...
Personally, for me, it is perfect. I extended the range of my WiFi to the upper floor and now it reaches every corner of the house without any disconnection issues, etc. I highly recommend it without hesitation!
By far the best purchase I have made! The installation is extremely easy. I have a large house and I have been searching for something that costs less than 40€ and is of good quality for a long time. It has a very good range, it fits into any socket, and I like its appearance, very discreet. I highly recommend it without hesitation!
Very good purchase for its price. For simple household use, it is very convenient and easy to use. I do not have specific requirements in order to compare it with more expensive products. For the aforementioned use, it is perfect and I consider it quite economical.
I have had it for at least 2 years, I set it up once and never had a problem again. It works morning, evening, during power outages, and during quarantine. Obviously, it doesn't give you Ethernet speeds, but now the whole house has internet. I don't know if it counts, but I have it 1 wall in front of the modem and the signal doesn't pass through another wall.

It still works without any problem. It has definitely reached 5 years and neither its performance nor anything else has dropped.
I installed it two years ago in a house to provide signal to the attic. It was placed on an intermediate floor and the signal it emits is perfect, as well as its speed, it doesn't lag at all. And no complaints from anyone.
I have been using it for five years.. Easy to program. It has a good range for an entire floor. I use it in rental rooms and I have never had any issues with the signal. Only once, during excessive heat, it froze a little bit, but a restart fixed it.
For over a year, everything was fine. However, for the past month, there seems to be a problem where devices that connect wirelessly to the internet do not have a connection, even though they are connected. Additionally, three devices connected through an Ethernet splitter, apart from the PC, were malfunctioning. They could play YouTube videos but couldn't update applications. The first time, restarting the modem fixed the issue, but the second time, I had to unplug the extender as instructed by the technician from the provider. If it reconnects to the network, it will happen again. In other words, we will get our own router and set it up as a bridge to provide VDSL speeds and set up our network there, so that resetting or restarting won't affect the configuration. I haven't tried changing the network name or extender yet
When I bought it, I didn't believe that it is possible to get a proper Wi-Fi signal from the downstairs to the upstairs, just through an extender. 1 year later, the dream became a reality. Signal everywhere, installation is very easy, and its performance has been uninterrupted so far.
I have had it for about 2.5 years now. It is very easy to connect to the router, both automatically (by pressing the WPS button on the router and the round button on the repeater) and through the device's website from the computer's browser by following the steps provided for installation.
As for its range, it can cover the entire upper floor of the house (receiving signal from the router located on the ground floor) without any noticeable drop in connection speed (usually 3 or 4 out of the 5 LEDs indicating signal strength are lit). It disconnects relatively rarely (1 or a maximum of 2 times per month on average), but simply unplugging and plugging it back in is enough to resynchronize it.
Lastly, the device heats up very little, despite being constantly plugged in 24/7, and consumes minimal energy (around 3 watts). It is worth every penny, even the last euro, and I highly recommend purchasing it without any reservations.
Very easy to install and synchronize, with very good coverage for a house. I don't believe that there is currently (01-2017) anything better on the market for the price. Also, due to its size, it is extremely easy to transport and discreet in any space.
With the Thomson TG585 v8 that I have, it's not doing well.... it keeps losing signal.
edit
I changed its position and it seems to be doing much better.. I moved it away from the microwave oven and the refrigerator, and in general, away from other electrical appliances, and I removed the obstacles in front of the router (e.g. teddy bears and pictures). Only time will tell.
Note that I have it as a clone and not as a second one...!!
Excellent product, I highly recommend it! I have had it for about 6 months now, and it has an amazing range (it reaches even the basement, albeit barely) and the best part is that it never lags, connects instantly to devices, and overall, it is absolutely reliable!
It does what it promises. With easy "manual" installation. It solves the signal problem inside the house or extends it outside (e.g. houses, balconies, etc.). Very good value for money!! Excellent!!
I have had it for over a month and it does exactly what it says. With the new router from forthnet, I didn't have a good signal in the room on my smartphone and tablet (one bar most of the time, sometimes it took a long time to connect), so I plugged it directly into an outlet in my room even though the instructions say to place it in the intermediate area between the router and the room where you have a problem. In the room, the signal is full and I haven't encountered any issues with disconnections or instability, although it is still relatively early. As for the setup, it was ready for use within 5 minutes using the "difficult" method, which is through the PC.
