    TP-Link AC1200 Dual Band WiFi Range Extender, Repeater, Access Point w/ Mini Housing Design, Extends WiFi to Smart Home & Alexa Devices (RE305)

    • Extender was great for about 3
    • Occasionally certain devices will lag simply unplugging and plugging the extender back into the outlet corrects the problem
    • So, while in theory this extender is great, in practice it does not accomplish what it says- "works with all routers."Check what band your wifi router operates under before purchasing.
    • If you just need internet to browse the web, check facebook, watch Netflix and Youtube or play casual videogames this extender works fine
    • If this was a cheap extender, I would understand and move on...
    • Great WIFI repeater/extender.
    • Works well as just a wireless extender, but I bought this to use in AP mode
    • The extender loses signal constantly
    • Great range extender
    • Very good range extender.
    • I do not recommend this at all for days after that the extender stopped working completely and transmitted no wifi signal whatsoever
    • Initially I love this extender, now after several months of use, I have become frustrated by the performance , it has become more sluggish and I have to rest set every few days
    • The extender works good and was easy to set up
    • If you have a slower connection this will be a fine extender for you

    • Brilliant range extender, replaced a Netgear WN2500RP, and the range and data throughput on 5GHz level was like night and day.
    • Fantastic wireless extender for the house
    • I have some : much less expensive wifi extenders and they work just the same
    • I really love this range extender
    • I can't recommend the TP link Wi-Fi extender because after many attempts and setting up as per the instructions it keep losing the connection
    • This extender worked well initially, then began to not work well and when it got too frustrating we just unplugged it and our network worked better without it but with some dead spots
    • The extender works well most of the time
    • it worked for a short while, then totally messed up my existing range extender (which it was replacing).
    • This extender really works.
    • I don't think they have really good extenders made yet
    • By far the best range extender I’ve ever had.
    • Highly recommend this extender.
    • Doesn't get signal as good as the extender that just does 2.4 gHz
    • It didn't work to place this extender somewhere inside the house with a good line of sight to the office
    • Excellent WiFi range extender
    • nice range extender, much cheaper than a mesh setup which is overkill in a smaller home
    • Very well-made extender has done the job perfectly getting 5 bars of Wi-Fi extended into my garage where I had been only averaging one or two bars at most.
    • If the main router "blinks" then the extender may or may not work without being set up again
    • I reviewed several sites with reports on best range extenders, and went through bundles of customer reviews.
    • And now after purchasing this lovely wifi extender wow i now have signal in my kitchen basement and backyard.
    • This is the best Extender
    • Also the extender seems to be lying when it says I have full WiFi bars
    • I rarely find products that I say I don't like---but this extender is just not working for me
    • My old extender slowed the speed of my signal to about 20% of the original signal
    • Bytheway, this extender is ranked number 2 by an internet site dedicated to building small networks.
    • This little Extender sets up easily and works great
    • Unless you are extending a network a really long way -- like between two houses -- the extender will always do more harm than good
    • When the extender works it does what you expect, but it can be a rough road to get functional and if you need support help it will likely eat much more of your time than is sensible.
    • Am now back using trusty old & small Netgear extender and IT
    • This little extender really does the trick to help keep my laptop connected and enjoying a decent speed, even when outside
    • Love this extender
    • This has been the best extender I have purchased in the last 5 years
    • If you have limited bandwidth to begin with, the extender is not going to increase it
    • The extender didn't even work for the signal
    • This is one powerful extender and easy to set up.
    • Best wifi extender in my opinion, high internet speed with high range.
    • Good reliable extender.
    • The extender has a big circular light that turns blue if the extender has been put in a good spot, and it glows red if it’s not close enough to the router
    • long narrrative short...this is a realistic highly thoughtout extender
    • We have an L-shaped house and this extender wasn't powerful enough to extend to the very back room.
    • nice range extender, much cheaper than a mesh setup which is overkill in a smaller home
    • Works great as a wireless extender for all my gadgets
    • Great range extender
    • Amazing signal, great little extender
    • the netgear nighthawk does not have the range that the house and office require. rather than be disapointed about the expensive netgear route and the inexpensive TP extenders
    • The easiest extender I've ever set up (literally only two buttons to press)
    • Works good as a 5.8 extender to my wired laptop.
    • Time to call AT&T to see what range extenders it supports
    • I must admit that I was real doubtful that this would work because I had tried a less expensive range extender with no success
    • So I purchased the TP-Link AC1750 looking for a good extender
    • I researched online to see what the best outlet extenders were and this was highly recommended.
    • The ring around the power button turns red if the extender is unable to connect to the wireless router and blue if it is able.
    • I use it in my house as an extender and so far it's working out pretty good
    • Splitting the difference between the dead spot and the router, then installing the extender there gave us great performance where we used to have no signal.
    • I don't know how much money I have spent on increasingly more expensive extenders over the years hoping that one of them will work
    • Extender was easy to set up and works very well.
    • What stands out about this router is through searching on various internet searches, this extender outshines the competition when it comes to media streaming

    • this is an extremely poor extender.
    • This is the best extender I have ever used.

    • This is, of course, very upsetting as the extender is not inexpensive
    • Good range extender with long range.
    • The old cheap extender was able to connect to my new extender, so now I'm able to chain up the wireless internet to the backyard, all the while seeming mysterious to them
    • This was a more expensive extender than others with great reviews but mine's not one of them
    • works well as a wifi extender, when I move away from Wireless router.
    • I love the extender
    • Overall, this is a fast and powerful range extender, equipped with the latest communications technologies to support multiple devices and digital stream
    • PUshed the WPS button on my Netgear router and the one on the AC 1750 extender and like magic it is up and running
    • The extender generally worked well, and we were able to watch YouTube videos in the dead space most of the time
    • Extender is working fine for us so far
    • The BEST WiFi extender I have ever bought
    • Inside this will without a doubt provided great wifi signal throughout my 3400 sqft 2 story homeThe setup is pretty easy, though if you’ve never set up an extender or worked on a network before it might take a thorough read of the instructions, but they are detailed and guide you through the setup quite well
    • alone!How does this thing get rated "best extender on the market"
    • There are much better dual band extenders out there.
    • Worst worst POS extender I've ever used
    • I was hesitant to purchase this because, in the past, no other extender has worked... even for the main house

    • Very good little extender for the cost.
    • Nice extender
    • As far as the extender improving the area range and bandwidth strength in a dead spots in my home.
    • Second time I called, I had completely removed the extender and the system worked fine
    • Ignoring my own advice of buying the right thing the first time, I originally purchased a cheap Huawei WiFi extender and while it offered a more reliable connection that prevented drops, the speed made it equally unusable.
    • I highly recommend this range extender.
    • Put together, the MU-MIMO and beam-forming technologies make this a very efficient, fast, and powerful range extender
    • I highly recommend this TP Link WiFi extender.

    • Also this extender looks pretty nice
    • This extender is not worth $10 bucks
