FINALLY after looking for the "red light" in vain, and not seeing an "installation complete" button as is usual with online installation processes I decided that having ALL the blue lights lit was enough of an indication that the setup had indeed been completed.

I am glad I went for this Ethernet port version as I was unable to set up the WiFi connection without it. I used Option 2 and configured it using my laptop connected. Plugged in on upstairs landing my daughter's room that had a rubbish connection now has full connection.

I am lucky enough to have one of those very rare, almost extinct in fact, mythical creatures, commonly known as a "good neighbour" (Latin name bonum proximi). Ask anyone who was alive in the 1950's, they will tell you about when we were overrun with these creatures, taking in our post, lending us a...

extends wi-fi into hard to reach places and black spots

needs a WPS button on the router for easy set up

The item works to extend my wireless network. My router is in the basement and I was having trouble with certain spots outside and on the main level. This extender allowed me to access WIFI in a larger area.

I would not recommend it to anyone who does anything more than checking email on a patio. Ultimately I am replacing it with an actual wired Access Point; far more expensive but will do the job better. I'm giving this one to my boyfriend's father who has no wifi on his porch.

1; The setup wasn't too hard, but I am a little above average in tech skill

Slow..; I mean lest than 5% the speed of the signal it receives; The original 2.4 gHz signal from the router allowed downloads at about 50 Mbps; When connected to the extender, it went down to barely over 2.5 Mbps

The TP-Link TL-WA850RE isn't the best Wi-Fi booster for everyone, but in the right situations it can be very useful.

This Wi-Fi booster is small and plugs directly into your wall outlet

There is only one Ethernet port on this device

Wifi was located in the basement due to the cable being down there and wouldn't reach even the second floor. Now after putting the Extender in the outlet on the second floor we have wifi on the second AND third floor. Works as it should.

Bought this to help with connection to smart tv and it has done the job. No more resetting the network connection on the tv every time we wanted to use Netflix. We have it connected with an Ethernet cable.

I brought this a few weeks back, it wasn't suitable for what we needed. However the product wasn't faulty. arrived promptly and the staff were extremely helpful when returning

Managed to set this up within minutes. Placed some distance away from the modem and got the minimum 3 bars needed. I was unsure whether I would need to move it closer to the modem to get between the 3 to 5 bars instructions suggest. Well, with just 3 bars it has made a huge difference!!
