    TP-Link N300 WiFi Range Extender with External Antennas and Compact Design (TL-WA855RE)

    • It's still functioning as a hard-wired router, but the wireless has died
    • We hooked it up to a printer that has to be hard wired and does not have wifi
    • Both failed in less than a year and would not allow anyone to log in to the WiFi or let anyone on the Internet even hard wired
    • I used this to connect to my wife and allow me to hard wire into a unit that does not take WIFI.
    • The web-based approach appears to require a laptop PC, but my desktop PC is hard-wired and does not support wireless.
    • I started the update via my surface pro, wirelessly (I read nothing that stated you had to be hard wired)
    • As an extender AND hard wired, it reduced my internet speed from about 300MB to 10MB.
    • Needless to say, the router now doesn't work, it won't connect, even if I'm hard wired into the unit
    • No longer on the same floor as the router so I had to switch from hard wired to the router to a wireless connection
    • Using this with an AMD Ryzen 5 is a breeze and I have the fastest wired internet I want!3
    • The range was less than 30 feet and the speed went from 175 mps hard wired to 20 mps wifi.
    • "Gulliver," this extender will identify itself to your w-fi-enabled equipment (like your smartphone) as "Gulliver_ext," with the same password as "Gulliver
    • But It’s not as good as I thot
