The TP-Link 300Mbps Universal Wireless N Range Extender, or TL-WA850RE, is a Wi-Fi range extender to increase your network's reach in the home.

yet again a dead end, it would appear these range extenders are not what they are made out to be, they actually solve very little, thick walls or awkward spots are cat5 cables only forget wifi.

just received the tp link and had it up and running in about 5 mins,instructions in box were easy to follow or u can watch the video on dabs.Very simple to set up and it extended my wireless network very effectively so top marks.

Here are some of its features better explained. Range Extender – 300Mbps Most Wi-Fi routers are capable of extending a large distance but cannot maintain the same connectivity across walls and barriers.

Used it so I could get strong WiFi signal throughout house.

A Little Hard To Set Up

TP-Link's 300Mbps Universal WiFi Range Extender (TL-WA850RE) is one of the better wireless range extenders I've tested in the last two years. It's not as powerful as D-Link's Wireless N300 Range Extender DAP-1320 . It's also much less feature-rich than the Netgear AC1200 WiFi Range Extender .

Very easy to set up, configure, and roll back to factory settings; Provided good Wi-Fi signal at up to 75 feet from router; Affordable

Provided poor signal strength beyond 75 feet from the router; No Gigabit speed supported on Ethernet port

An inexpensive and easy to install addition to the home network that enables you to squeeze that little extra out of your wireless range.

One button setup did not work to connect with my existing Belkin N300 wireless router - but the web based setup via ethernet cable went ez-pz. I am using this to bring signal for a blue-ray player that doesn't have wireless in a corner of the basement that I just didn't want to run cable to.

The TP-Link 300Mbps Universal WirelessRange Extender model TL-WA850RE provides the means of improving the coverage of your 2.4GHzWi-Fi network. It is a stepping stone to extend the reach of the network, or fill in dead-spots where there isn't a really useful signal as well as improving existing data...

Excellent! Plugged the device in, paired it with my router, unplugged and move to desired location. Devices all connect to the boosted WiFi signal without any issues. Considering getting another to boost signal to another section of the house.
