5.0 out of 5 stars Works like a dream!
I live in a one bed flat, but it's a long way from the living room (where my router is, right at the front of the house) to the bathroom (it's a converted Victorian house, so the bathroom is right at the back, through the kitchen) and garden, and it has very thick walls, so I was struggling to get a wifi signal in my kitchen, nevermind the bathroom or garden!It was a little bit faffy to set up (as I don't seem to have a WPS button on my router now!) but very straightforward via the app, with the help of the included instructions. I just set it up for the first time plugged in next to my router, then followed the relocation instructions in the leaflet to plug it in in my hallway, and the extender connected to my router within seconds. I can now get wifi throughout my flat and in the garden. My internet provider wanted to charge me £10 per month for this privilege so this is an absolute bargain! I've only been using it for 2 days so far, so can't comment on long-term reliability, but will update if I have any problems in that area. So far so very good though!
4.0 out of 5 stars It does what it says on the tin!
Great little product for the right price. So easy to set up even if you are technically minded! My Wi-Fi has been boosted upstairs as my Sky router was not reaching this area due to stone walls. Sky wanted to charge me more per month so I did it myself and saved the money. Would highly recommend.

Easy to set up and to connect to, does a great job
5.0 out of 5 stars Does exactly what it should
A super cheap and easy way to extend the range or your 2.4Ghz wireless network, and it's decent looking too. All you have to do here, is plug it in, download the app, open the app, and follow the instructions to add the device to the existing network.The obvious way you can use these is to give your current wireless network some extra range. The device and app work together to let you know how far you should place the device to optimise your extended connection. For example, if you place it too close to your existing router, you'll have a super strong link between those two devices, but you won't necessarily be extending your existing network as much as you could be. On the other hand, if you place it too far away in an attempt to stretch your network as much as possible, you risk the connection between your router and the TP link extender being weak. So the app does an amazing job of actually letting you know if you would benefit from moving it further away, or if you're too far out.Another use for this extender is one which I think is perhaps becoming a bit more common these days, and that's for allowing more devices to connect to your network without overloading the wireless router that's normally provided by ISP's. I have 36 devices connected to my wireless network, and most of these are smart devices (mostly 2.4ghz) such as switches and lights placed all over the house. Most internet service providers provide a router that doesn't have the best wireless performance, so rather than having 36 devices connect to one router, I can have half on the router, and half on the extender. This is the main reason I purchased this extender, and it's done the job really well. My home router had more than enough range to range all the devices in my house, even the furthest away device had a reasonably strong signal, but what I noticed over the last year is that as I added more and more lights to my network, the router seems to be dropping the connection to random devices intermittently. If I had to guess, I'd assume this is due to some kind of congestion, or the processor in the router just can't handle the job of connecting to so many devices. By using the extender, I'm effectively offloading half of that work onto the extender, and it's worked really well.One thing to note is that when using one of these, the extended network does have a separate SSID (network name). So you do need to manually connect your devices to that network for the first time, you can't just have it connect using the credentials from your main wifi router.The signal strength seems strong, regardless of where I placed the extender, it was showing a strong signal and letting me know that I could move it further away from the router if I wanted. The app even has a setting for the extender which lets you lower the power output, and putting this down to minimum still left me with a good signal to my devices.There's some LEDs on the font to indicate status. These can be disabled in the app, as they are quite bright. I've found however that if you turn the extender off, the LED's will come back on when power is restored, and they don't automatically disable themselves again after boot up is complete. Speaking of boot up, the extender will boot up and connect to your network and devices in under 1 minute after turning it back on.I'd definitely recommend this extender, and will be picking up another as I add even more smart home devices to my network.
3.0 out of 5 stars A basic WiFi extender.
We used to get WiFi dropouts in our upstairs master bedroom. This was frustrating, as despite having a connection frequently we would encounter buffering and disconnects. So I decided to pick up this low cost extender.TP Link are a well respected brand amongst networking and this is their entry level model. This particular model is 300mbps and limited to the 2.4ghz band. It comes packaged in a small cardboard box with minimal excess packaging. The device itself consists of a 3 pin plug and a body that extends outwards and upwards with the antenna inside. The sports a green ring of LED's that are used to show status and signal strength, with a pairing WPS button in the middle. On the base of the device there is a small hole with a reset switch beneath. The extender isn't too bulky but you may experience issues with clearance with some sockets particularly when used alongside plug in PSU's, and in confined spaces.The extender is fairly easy to setup. You can just use the WPS button on your router, connect via a PC or use an app. Annoyingly it uses a different app to TP links Tapo range of smart products. It would be nice if these were integrated and allow it to be switched remotely by Alexa. As this doesn't support mesh the SSID will need to be set to something different and switched on your device. . In operation it displays the current WiFi signal and setting can be adjusted via the app or from a PC. So how does it perform? Pretty much as it should do. It solved our deadspot problem and we didn't experience any drop outs. Since then we have changed our router and it has essentially become redundant. Comparing it to our new router at the same range there is a slight drop in speed at 2.4ghz. Now I plan to use it to extend the WiFi to the shed and garden.It does pretty much what you expect it to at an incredibly low price. If that's all you need then great. However for not a lot more you can buy an extender that retains your socket and adds an ethernet port. A little again and you can buy one that adds the 5GHZ band and is capable of meshing. So consider what you need before buy and check what's on offer.
