Lately I have been having WiFi connection problems. So I decided to look into buying a WiFi extender. I wasn’t sure at all about which one to buy and which was worth the money. I also did not want to spend an excessive amount of money. I search online and found an article listing the best extenders to buy in 2021. I decided to buy the TP-Link AC750. The process was very fast and very easy to follow. It took me about 5 minutes to set everything up. Before buying the extender the WiFi in the far end of my home was very poor and sometimes no signal. With this extender I am able to stream on my tv without any problems. The WiFi signal literally went from poor signal to excellent signal. I highly recommend this item!

I figured I’d throw down a 5-star for this since a lot of the reviews are mixed based on the desired results of the buyer.I bought this to ‘extend’ my already strong router signal through some additional walls in order to support the Google Nest camera on the exterior corner of my home. Router was a total of probably 100′ from this camera, including at least three insulated walls. It would lose connection daily and especially during inclimate weather.Since the installation, which was simple, I have had no dropouts or loss of footage anymore. I can stream in high res again! I installed it as instructed – about half way between the router and ‘dead zone’.The speeds are significantly slower, by more than half. You can’t expect to game with this. But to pull a steady 10mbps from my garage will do for a camera.I think this works well as a solution to my problem, as I do not/will not use the _EXT WiFi network for any other devices. I read reviews where folks had issues connecting and re-connecting with mobile devices, but it seems to have no issues with a consistently connected device like a security camera.Either way, time will tell. Happy thus far.

Oh man, I am over the moon about this product. My bedroom is the basement of the house, so the wifi just barely reached, and has a very weak signal. This extender is a life saver.It took maybe 2 minutes to set up, the hardest part was getting it out of the box! It amplifies the signal perfectly, and I find that it actually makes my wifi faster, as less people are using it!HouseWifi is my normal wifi signal in my room and the HouseWifi_EXT is the extenders wifi signal in my room. Look at the difference!I will be convincing my family to buy these for the farther parts of the house. In love!!

I don’t typically write Amazon reviews, but I feel this warrants one. My modem and router are kept downstairs, and my upstairs study is an almost complete dead zone, I’m lucky to get above 1-4 Mbps, while other rooms get 20-25 Mbps. I researched wifi range extenders, and this one seemed great for the price. It arrived a day earlier than planned, and after 5 minutes pairing it with my network, it was plugged in and working perfectly. My computers now average about 22-24 Mbps in my study, which has a huge effect on my productivity and general enthusiasm for life. A few notes:It does not have a cord, it plugs directly into an outlet like a nightlightIt automatically creates a new network named yournetwork + “_EXT”It’s smaller than I thought, about the size of 3 stacked packs of post-it notesIf you use your internet everyday for school or work, slow speeds speeds can be detrimental. This completely fixed the issue for me. The most $20 has every improved my life. Other more expensive models probably have some features this doesn’t, but if you just want to fix dead zones for not much money, this is the answer.

This is by far the best WIFI extender I have ever used. I have a multi level house and wifi is challenging. Full signal in some parts of the house and in others,..there is none. I have tried MANY MANY wifi units similar to this. I’m very tech savvy and pride myself in figuring stuff out with out directions. However, that is very different with some wifi extenders. They are complicated to set up and do not work good at all. I had good luck with the TP-Link light sockets with the echo and setup was a breeze. So I decided to take one more shot at yet another wifi extender. Choosing the TP-Link in hopes it would work just as good. I really don’t understand these other reviews that state how hard it is to set up. This wifi extender is truly easy to set up. This is what i did,….Quick instructions right on the side of the box. Plug in the TP-Link, close to your router, the green light flashes, press the WPS button on your router, then press the signal button on the extender. The green light flashes, goes solid green, goes solid red then after 5-10 seconds the light stays solid green. The unit is now paired with your router. Now, Unplug the extender, walk to a midway point in your house close to the dead spot and plug it back in. It will blink green again, then solid green, then solid red, 5-10 seconds it turns solid green. Open any device you want to use for wifi, go to wifi settings and find your wifi name. Except the word _EXT will be after the device name. So if your normal wifi is GOOBER616 for example. It would now show as GOOBER616_EXT, Choose the Ext one and enter your normal password for wifi, and BOOM, FULL wifi signal. I now have wifi in every room in the house. If you plug the unit in and the light stays on solid yellow? Then move it to another socket closer to the router. Hope this helps anyone who has or has had a problem.

I needed a WiFi extended to provide a better Wifi signal to my Ring Doorbell. Unfortunately, the location of my router was too far from the Ring and the signal had to travel through too many walls, including the external brick wall. Because of the weak signal, I was having trouble answering rings and getting live views on my phone.I originally looked into purchasing the Ring brand Wifi extended, but it was 50 bucks and it was ONLY for Ring products. I thought it would help to have a Wifi extender to connect to all my other devices, so I scoured Amazon to find a cheaper one.I am technologically literate in many areas, but connectivity and networks are NOT one of those areas. I was concerned that I would have to hire a techy person to come help me, but surprisingly, it was very easy to set up and connect with my current AT&T Uverse router.I did run into a bit of a problem, as my Ring Doorbell was still showing a weak signal. I fiddled around with the Ring and realized that this extended had created a new network for me to connect to – it was my network name with “-EXT” at the end. I reconnected the Ring to THAT network – my password was the same and everything – and NOW my Ring Doorbell works PERFECT!This extender is great and does exactly what I need.I also noticed on the box that there is a phone number to call for 24/7 tech support, which is very handy to have!I highly recommend it if you just need a boost in signal to reach certain devices or reach devices that are too far away from your router.

I live in a large apartment, the modem is in my bedroom and the signal in the living room is strong enough to be reliable so use an extender. When the one I have had for a few years died, I ordered this one to take its place. There were many to choose from, but I chose this one because TP-LINK is a brand I trust.The extender was easy to install and was soon up and running. I now have a very strong signal in the living room and throughout the apartment.Based on my experience, I recommend this extender.

If you have a dual band 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi router you may find yourself at the threshold between the range of 2.4 and 5 GHz which will cause your device to either switch back and forth or hang on to a poor 5 GHz signal rather than switch to a stronger 2.4 GHz signal. I didn’t figure all of this out until after I purchased this device only to find it didn’t fix my issue. My devices continued to hang on to the weak 5GHz even over the strong 2.4 GHz being broadcast by this range extender. Disabling 5 GHz on the original router was really all I needed.I will say this is an excellent value if you really need it. It was easy to setup and is easy to manage. The range is good too. Though I don’t really need it, I’ll keep the extender installed in the bedroom to maximize performance.
