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.

Wish I'd bought one sooner
First things first, I paid full price for this because I needed it. I didn't get it for free and I'm not getting any incentives for reviewing it. I can't stand fake reviews and lukewarm "This was free so it's great, five stars" time wasters any more than anyone else can.My bedroom is a finished enclosed porch that was an addition onto the side of the house after it was built, so WiFi signal in here is horrible. And horrible WiFi signal combined with taking seven online classes due to the pandemic of 2020 is not a great combination. I get somewhat decent signal right next to the door, but in the ten or so feet it takes to walk to my bed the signal drops to the point of being practically unusable. I got sick of having to choose between sitting on the floor up against the door, or sitting comfortably in bed while my Zoom connections constantly lagged out and disconnected.I had been considering buying a WiFi range extender for quite some time, but I never got around to it because there was such a wide selection of them and none of them had particularly great reviews. I wanted to get the fastest best one on here but then I couldn't bring myself to pay $100 for a range extender with 3.5 star reviews, so I never bought one. I finally decided to go with this one because it was one of the cheapest ones on here, I have had previous positive experiences with TP-Link products, and I figured if it didn't work I could just return it.It's really easy to set up. I was under the impression that range extenders had to be plugged into the router with an ethernet cable but no, this is completely wireless. It has two antennas, and it picks up your router signal with one and extends it with the other. It plugs directly into an outlet. You get on your phone or computer and go to the website that is listed in the instructions and connect the extender to your WiFi network. This one only works on the 2.4 ghz band. When you're setting it up they tell you to do it right next to your router, then unplug it and move it to where you want it to go after you've got it set up, but I didn't do that and it still works just fine. I have my extender plugged in right next to the door, which is the place in my room that gets the best signal, and it makes it so I can get a good connection throughout my whole room.You need to have reasonable expectations before buying one of these. It's not going to magically make your network super fast, it's just going to make the signal reach a bit farther than it already does. I do not stream Netflix or play games or anything over this, I mainly just browse websites, stream video lectures, and attend Zoom video meetings, and it works great for these purposes. Personally I am extremely pleased with this little device and I really wish I had bought one months ago, it would have made my online classes go much more smoothly.
