Did not work

Would not communicate with my Bell router. Spent a couple hours trying to sort out to no avail. Computer picks up signal from extender but that's it, Just would not work no matter what. Have a D-link and it works fine so I believe the problem must be with the Wifi extender itself.

Good WiFi extender

I purchased this item to enable WiFi to be extended out to the garden and it now works very well. It means that the security camera now stays online and I can use my iPad outside to search the internet. It took a little while to set up but that was probably because Im not very tech savvy! Im very pleased with my purchase which arrived promptly, was well packaged and much cheaper than Ive seen anywhere else.

Malcolm's review of TP-Link RE300 AC1200 Mesh Wi-Fi Range Extender

Pros: Very Marginal increase in signal strengthCons: Very difficult to programme (required a smart phone and an app). Tried is in several different places but the improvement in signal was very small.

Night and day difference

I was having daily network blips during Zoom calls for work. Since I have to use a VPN this just doesn't work, as the VPN has to reestablish a connection every time the network drops out. I set up my range extender at the top of my stairs (my router is in the lower level of my split-level home) and I haven't noticed any issues since. For those who will care, note that it's not a "true" mesh system, because of implementation details I'm too lazy to bother memorizing. But it does a pretty good job of faking it, at least in my home. The router and range extender each cover one level, about 1k square feet each. I haven't noticed my phone having less than full WiFi bars everywhere in the house. Now that my upper level is covered, I can even get reliable WiFi on my back ... MoreI was having daily network blips during Zoom calls for work.

The router and range extender each cover one level, about 1k square feet each. I haven't noticed my phone having less than full WiFi bars everywhere in the house. Now that my upper level is covered, I can even get reliable WiFi on my back porch, too! I work from home as a software engineer, so I'm constantly online, and in Zoom calls every other hour. I also have 3 kids doing virtual school right now, so they're also on video calls basically all day. Add to that 2 smartphones, a smart TV, and a PS4 - all of this on WiFi because my built-in-the-50s house has absolutely no way of allowing me to connect anything via ethernet. Between my Archer C7 and my RE300, everything has full-strength WiFi signal everywhere in the house, and more than enough bandwidth for everything we do. This is easily the best purchase I've made to accommodate for virtual life (except maybe my new desk chair).

Really good wifi extender

Very quality product from TP-Link to get wifi at weak spots in your home. Replaced our 5 year old Netgear WiFi extender. Our netgear extender was so obsolete that there was no app available to manage it but it had served us well over the years and decided it was time to upgrade it as the signal was becoming choppy and it couldnt handle the number of devices when having company over. It was super easy to install and they were right! I followed the instructions included but had already read previous reviews with tips and tricks. I just plugged it in next to the router, let it do its thing and downloaded the app which is super simple to use and navigate. Typed in my password to connect to the network and off I went! I originally put it where the old one was, out in the ... MoreVery quality product from TP-Link to get wifi at weak spots in your home. Replaced our 5 year old Netgear WiFi extender.

I originally put it where the old one was, out in the pool house but via the app, it told me that the signal was weak and to relocate it and so I moved it inside, closest to the pool area, ran my signal test and viola! Insta-WiFi! Had it all done and all my devices connected in five minutes. I really like the fact the app tells me how many devices are connected to it.
