TP-LinkAC750 WiFi Extender (RE230), Covers Up to 1200 Sq.ft and 20 Devices, Dual Band Range Extender, Booster Extend of Internet Connection, OneMesh Compatible

I live in a small apt, less than 900 square ft. I have always had terrible wifi, i do like to play games online, stream videos etc but the connection on my pc was always slow and very unstable. As my router has to be set up in the living room I wasnt able to connect ethernet, which would have been ideal. But I got this handy device plugged it in directly next to my pc and immediately wifi signal was far stronger and more stable. We pay for 100 mbps so not the fastest internet in this day and age however this product is great for this speed. I easily would get less than 30mbps with my old wifi, usually quite a bit lower than that even.Once I got this set up I was receiving 87mbps stable. This was without messing with any settings in the tether app. I then went ahead and plugged my pc into the ethernet port and speeds improved even more to about 94mbps stable which is honestly better than i expected.I have read that the ethernet port only outputs up to 100mbps, if true that is fine for customers like myself who pay for 100mbps. Bottom line is if you are in a similar situation like me, in an apt and you just want more stable speeds that give you the speed you actually pay for, this product works great. If you live in a fairly big house and pay for speeds faster than 100mbps I'd probably recommend a higher tier product. You can always give it a try however, at this price point it is low risk, returnable and it does as described. It just may not meet range and speed expectations for you.Setup was easy, I did end up just getting the app. Just match all passwords to my existing router password, it connected fine, my devices found the extender on the network fine and connected to it just fine as well. Just follow the simple couple of steps in the instructions.What else can I share here.. my ping when doing speedtest was 8, my upload speed was 6mbps I think i dont usually pay attention to the upload speed and am not sure what i am supposed to be getting from the isp but it does seem stable for what that's worth. I did play a game online after setup and it worked just fine. Yea it may be ideal to get more than 94mbps when playing games but for me it works just fine and I'm getting the speeds I'm paying for so obviously no complaints from me. Very satisfied with this product. Would recommend.

I had a specific use for this. I have a high end Samsung TV that's out of warranty, and its internal WiFi receiver recently died. (This turns out to be a fairly common problem with older Samsung TV sets.) That killed my access to Netflix and any other Internet apps built into the TV, but aside from that problem the TV works great.I needed an Internet connection at the set to use the hardwired port for Internet access, and this unit connected to my home WiFi network and provided the connection with ease. I've had bad luck with the AC-connected Internet extenders, but this unit is NOT that kind of unit. This is a Wi-Fi extender, and although I didn't need it to extend the reach of my network, my need was solved because it has an Ethernet port. It was very simple to set it up at my computer, then move it to the TV set location, plug it in and run a short Ethernet cable from the extender to the TV. Result: perfect Internet connectivity and an inexpensive fix.The result was a $30 fix that took less than 48 hours from the time I ordered the extender from Amazon. I never really considered having a service call to repair the Samsung TV, and with this $30 option it made no sense to try and repair (and pay for) the faulty WiFi unit in the TV.

I had a WIFI dead spot at the front part of my condo that I did not even know. I did not know this as I am always connected since my cell phone and Pad have 4G connection. I am on 4G connection while at the front part of the condo. There was no signal in my guest room but since I seldom have guest staying, I was not aware of this. Recently a friend of mine mentioned that I have a dead WIFI zone. I checked it out and sure enough, he is right.I had a similar issue with my house which I solved with installing a Google WIFI system. It works perfect. A 3-Pack covers a multi stories 6000 sq. feet house. I have 227 Mbps download all over. I have about 220-230 Mbps in my condo. Both internet provider is Spectrum (Different cities). Since my Linksys WIFI router in the condo is doing fine, I rather not spend $300 to get the newer Google Nest WIFI. Spending $30 to extend my WIFI is a no brainer option, so I thought.Here is the issue. This device while named as an Extender is not an extender. It does not act like a mesh system. This device has its own connecting ID. That means your device would not automatically connects to it unless you change the WIFI connection. So, having a consistent WIFI signal while walking around the condo is not what this device can do. It does solve my issue for my guest though. I can now let them connect to this ‘Extender’ instead of my regular WIFI. At $30 this is a cheap solution.There are other issues with this device. When connecting to it, the WIFI speed drops to about 140 Mbps when being close to it. It would drop to 70-80 Mbps in my front part of the condo. This is acceptable as the speed is still fast enough where I was not getting any signal before.If you are still with me after reading so much. Here is a pointer. Do not use 2.4 GHZ unless your device does not have 5 GHZ connection. Set the Host Network using 5 GHZ and also use 5 GHZ for your clients’ connections. The reason is using 2.4 GHZ would drop the WIFI speed down to 20-30 Mbps (in my case, your mileage might vary).If you are installing a new WIFI system or upgrading. I suggested that you go with a mesh system. This WIFI Extender does not really extend. It provides another connection point with a different ID.Whether this device would work for you depends on your need. It is not an ideal solution for me but it would do.BTW. The setup was quite easy and fast. I did spend more time on this as I was playing with all the settings and connecting with my varies devices. If you have one, save some time and just use the 5 GHZ connections.
