TP-Link AC1200 WiFi Extender - 1.2Gbps Home Signal Booster, Dual Band 5GHz/2.4GHz, Up to 1600 Sq.ft and 32 Devices, EasyMesh Compatible, One Ethernet Port (RE315)

We haven't been getting a good WIFI signal in our attached garage and I finally decided to do something about it. I haven't studied this stuff at all, so I'm not very knowledgeable. I just wanted an inexpensive fix for now because we are on the verge of getting fiber optic, and I will probably do some sort of mesh system at that time. I am really happy with this TP-Link extender because it was inexpensive, easy to set up (I used the app, but you don't have to), and it really did the trick for getting a strong signal in the garage! The extender has it's own network, and I wasn't sure if I would have to go and select that network each time I used it or not, but I don't. My phone or device will just automatically connect to either the router or the extender (probably based on signal strength). It works sort of like a mesh in that way, but I'm sure it is slower to switch over than the mesh, but still not too bad. We live in a rural area without good cell phone connection and really rely on WIFI calling, so now when I am working in the garage I don't have to worry. The signal goes well beyond the garage, so the range is very good for our needs.

Works really well for what I needed. Setup was pretty easy and it helped get a much better signal to the area of my house that used to have weak WiFi. The 5GHz and 2.4GHz options are nice, and the connection has been stable so far. Small, simple, and good value for the price.

We got this TP-Link WiFi extender to help with a couple of areas in the house where our WiFi signal was weak, and it has definitely made a difference. Setup was pretty simple and didn’t take long. Once connected, we had a much stronger and more reliable signal in rooms that used to have trouble staying connected. It’s been great for streaming, phones, and other everyday devices. It does take up a little space around the outlet, but overall it works well and was an easy solution for extending our WiFi coverage.

Easy to set up and get started with. Seems to work really well for extending wifi to other rooms and help a tv stay connected, also helps with cameras but there have been small lapses. I would still recommend.

I just received this wifi extender this morning, but am already happy with my purchase. Getting the associated app up and running took a bit, but the product itself was easy to set up afterward. I put the extender on the back wall in my kitchen, and was immediately able to stream consistently all over my back yard. No more buffering interruptions! I had considered the option of getting a new easy-mesh router system, but this fit my realistic budget better (and I am not one to replace a gadget that is still working fine).

Covers a lot of ground. Easy to setup, just plug and connect to the WiFi. Provides both 2.4ghz and 5ghz frequency. Extends the range as intended. Holds decent speed. Great value for money, it’s cheaper compared to other brands. Easily connects to your home WiFi. Set it up in a corner where you’d like to extend coverage.

This item was reasonably priced and had good reviews. The setup instructions were average (not bad; not great). I hated having to setup an account with TapoLink for yet another tech device to use in my home. The actual setup was fairly easy but it took trying 8 different locations in the house to get the "oh so wonderful coverage" promised in the write up of this WiFi extender. [Please read that statement as highly sarcastic. It's not wonderful]. Basically I'm getting only an additional 15ft extension to a security camera outside. Not the exaggerated sq ft coverage mentioned in the product write up. There is no brick or steel blocking the signal. But I will concede that my IP is also unreliable. Can you say ComCast? Anyway, right now after a few hours the camera is receiving a 100% WiFi signal after struggling to get 35% from a router only 30 ft away. More and more I find technology to be not what it's cracked up to be. But this did correct a problem. Unfortunately I won't know if the second camera will get coverage once I install that because after trying 8 locations for the extender it isn't in a location I find efficient. But we will see. Let you know later. Doubt I will give this product more than 4 stars. It isn't a 5 star product imo.

I love these TP-Link wifi extenders. They are so easy to setup in the app and are pretty versatile for many situations. I have no need for more expensive extenders as these provide over 200 megs of speed off the extender. They are compatible on my smart devices as well and I think they are a great value. I can get around 100 ft or more of range from the extender. I use mine to go between my house and garage for the garage door.

This works really well and was very easy to setup. I needed to use mine as an access point vs a repeated/extender which wasn't covered in the Quick Start manual but the online full user guide explained it well enough. All of the changes for anything can be done via the Tether app. Plugged it in to a power socket, let it boot up, installed the Tether app which detected it and joined me to it's initial wifi network so I could continue the setup of the device. You get walked through every step nicely! In my case after configuring it I went into the "More" menu bottom right of the app, and changed the "Operational Mode" to an access point, and then setup the wifi networks I wanted from there. I did not need to extend or mesh my current SSID so I'm happy enough to use a unique network name here, it all works nicely routing wise. I then plugged this in at my remote spot of the house, and using a long ethernet cable (unique for the access point mode) I plugged that in, and now I have a super solid strong wifi signal for my security cameras and other doodads that previously struggled with signal. It's been reliable, no drops or issues, it's in a cold garage atm we'll see how it handles the heat of summer though! Speeds are not mind blowing, getting about 100MB/s throughput over it's wifi networks, but all I need for sure. One downside was the side of the thing prevents using on a wide splitter, like the antenna on the side block the next socket over if you're got a 3x2 socket plug/extender or anything going on. Works great on a long power bar though! Very happy with this for the price point, and the clarity of the instructions/app.

Got better connections

Pues la verdad es que cumple bastante bien el cometido. Cuando la compañía de internet me ponía puras excusas y todavía me querían cobrar más por ponerme un extensor, cuando debería ser parte de su servicio. Vino este pequeño salvador a hacernos el día, porque para mi sorpresa si agarra mucho más metros de lo que esperaba. Mi casa es de 25 metros de largo y dos pisos, y justo mi módem está al final de la casa en el segundo piso. Este aparatito lo puse en el primer piso y casi en la entrada de la puerta, y la verdad excelente!

Working ad described!

Very happy with my purchase. What i like about this wifi extender is that you can change the passwords within the Tether app, something you cant do with the cheaper models. Would buy again if required
