  It worked for a little while and then it broke! And during the time it worked, sometimes the connection was lost and it needed a restart! Wasted money!

  Not good at all, it loses the signal sometimes and you have to keep restarting it. Wasted money!

  It is convenient because you don't need to waste the socket and of course the product is guaranteed just like all tp-link products

  No more useless purchase. It cannot connect when there is MAC address filtering. Limited range. Problematic setup constantly. Truly wasted money. Look for anything else except this specific one

  The worst purchase I have made. One day suddenly it stopped transmitting internet from the router. The connection through wps is difficult and disconnects quickly. It is very expensive and not worth its money.

  This review is about a variation of the product

  Well, I will tell you what's happening. This specific extender has its positives and negatives, but overall it is a good purchase if you know how to use it. The problem is that when the wifi in your house drops, other wifis also drop (e.g. from the other apartments in the building), making it difficult to maintain a stable signal. So, I changed my router's wifi in the house to 5Ghz, which no one else in the building has, and even though the indicator light is red (meaning it has a weak signal because 5Ghz is faster but weaker than 2.4), it can still relay it with greater ease to the point where I get incredible speeds on the TV I use for streaming (measured at 35-40 Mbits). While before the streaming would cut off, now it never cuts off. However, in order to achieve all of the above, someone needs to know what and how to do it. Therefore, the device is worth its money, as long as you know what you need to do. I should mention that in the spot where I have it "listening" for the 5Ghz signal from my router, it doesn't pick up any other devices in the house (which is why the indicator light is red), but this little extender not only amplifies it, but also keeps it stable all the time. In practice, this is an impressive feature.

  If you set it up correctly, then it works flawlessly. It is connected to a Cosmote Speedport Plus with a 50Mbps/5.1Mbps line through cable and 5GHz WiFi (real download/upload on FTP, not synchronization). The house is long, so the signal needed to be strengthened mainly for 5GHz coverage, and I can say that, although the change from the router to the extender and vice versa is noticeable mainly in video calls or file downloads in the form of momentary disconnections, the signal is stable and delivers almost 100% of the line (49.7Mbps/5Mbps). Overall, for the money I paid, it works very satisfactorily and I would recommend it with a few notes for installation:

  1) Perform the initial synchronization near the router or AP, as trying to do it from a distance gave me a weak signal message and, although it managed to connect, it thought it was offline (TP-Link Cloud didn't work, firmware update, etc.). After the initial connection, I placed it where I wanted it and now there is no problem.

  2) If you want to assign it a static IP, set a bind rule in the router's DHCP and let the extender request a dynamic IP from the DHCP (which will always give it the same IP due to the bind rule) instead of assigning it a static IP from its menu. If you assign it a static IP, the extender will automatically open its own separate DHCP server and place the devices connected to it on a different subnet. If you then manually disable the extender's DHCP, it will freeze and not pass traffic, resulting in no internet access. So, if you don't want to deal with two different subnets or a frozen extender, follow the above steps, otherwise leave it as is to receive a dynamic IP if you don't care.

  Something noteworthy is that the built-in LAN port, which operates at 100Mbps, can be configured to exchange traffic either through the 2.4GHz or the 5GHz host network, depending on the user's needs. Apart from that, the menu is very simple and I particularly missed the manual channel selection as it automatically chooses the same channel as the host, which increases congestion. Besides these points, and for the money I paid, I can say that it is a commendable product, especially in terms of its stability, which I can easily recommend.

  I bought the first one. I connected it to the router with a utp cable. It kept losing signal. It never connected to the new LG smart TV. I bought a second one. Same issues. In the end, I got a D-Link 1620 which connected directly. It doesn't have any interruptions and the TV plays Netflix perfectly.

  For those looking for an extender to watch movies and YouTube or browse the internet, it's okay. However, for those who need a constant active connection (for streaming, gaming), it doesn't work. Unfortunately, it's unreliable most of the time, resulting in constant freezing. It's a shame because it's one of the few with pass-through (meaning it has an outlet) like I was looking for.

  I have it for 2 years. For simple household use, it's good, meaning to be connected to smart TVs, mobile phones, and tablets. As for gaming from a laptop or PC or console, either through Wi-Fi or with a cable, I do not recommend it at all. It lags a lot and I have to disconnect all the devices from it every time to have a slightly better connection. (My internet provider is Vodafone with a 50 Mbps optical fiber connection).

  This review is about a variation of the product

  The only thing I found was a Dual Band with speeds +1200Mbps that offers a socket. Or to put it more accurately, a wifi repeater Dual Band with speeds +1200Mbps that offers a socket for under 50 euros.

  I used it to extend the signal to distant rooms in a 130sqm space and it works as it should. From 0-1 signal, I went to 4-5 and the speeds, especially on 5GHz, are very close to the max (40-45 down on a 50Mbps line). Especially if you consider that there are 2 walls between the extender and the router (one plasterboard + one concrete) and then another wall from the repeater to the computer, I consider it a good result. I mean, previously I couldn't even watch YouTube videos in 360p resolution.. I also tried the TV with Netflix and finally the streaming problems stopped.

  The build quality is good (plastic, nothing amazing) and the product is sturdy. The user instructions are fine, and as for the connection, there are many options provided. Some are easier and some are less, but none are difficult or complicated. It didn't work for me the first time and I needed a second attempt. Maybe there were interferences from various devices in the area, bands, etc., but it took me 10 minutes to set it up instead of 5, nothing too terrible. I should note here that a similar product I had from Netgear in the past had a much more complicated connection process.

  In general, I trust TP Link because their products always work as they should, they don't break easily, and I consider them value for money. They're not D-Link, AVM, or Cisco quality, but they're also not the same price.

  Highly recommended.

  Easy to install and works well with the Tether app, satisfactory range and good speeds. Compared to other models from the same company, it handles a large number of connected devices much better and doesn't require frequent restarts to refresh addresses.

  The second one I get is very easy to set up and you can have it as both an access point and a repeater, awesome and with great range, really.

  This review is about a variation of the product

  I liked:
  After finishing the installation, it was working perfectly!
  I didn't like:
  Misleading quick installation instructions. With low signal from the modem, the misleading red button lights up, which according to the instructions means that it is NOT working. But... that's why I bought it! For low signal!!
  Anyway, I downloaded Tether from the Apple Store, I managed to see why it was refusing to comply and I made several attempts such as DISCONNECTING the antenna, manually connecting to the network (instead of WPS), and disabling the 5G.
  In the end, when the signal strength is, for example, 2/5, it lights up red, but it MAY STILL work! That's where Tether saved me.

  Compared to FRITZ NG from the distant 2009:
  Slightly better in terms of speed: In a 30Mbps connection (25.9Mbps pure), with FRITZ it was 19.5Mbps, with TPLink it was 23.8Mbps.
  In terms of coverage distance and obstacles, which is the main concern for a repeater... let's just say it's much better with FRITZ. It's infinitely better and more reliable.
  I bought it to improve the quality of conference calls, so the few extra Mbits are worth it for me. I'm keeping it.
