REVIEW OF N300 2.4GHZ ONLY MODEL - NOT THE DUAL BAND MODEL No techno talk or over analysis here... I plugged it in close to my router, followed the VERY easy instructions in the quick start guide and boom!!... connected to my Vodafone Home Internet 4G router. That took about 90 seconds in total. Moved it to a socket about half way between my router and the area we had a very weak wifi signal, plugged in and waited for the lights to go blue. That took about another minute in total. Tested the wifi signal and much, much stronger than before. Total installation time then was around 2 and a half minutes. Now have a strong, stable wifi signal in an areas that before we hardly had a signal at all and kept loosing wifi. Went for this model because of the twin external aerial which to my way of thinking anyway must be better than the internal aerial on other low cost extenders. Anyway, it took no time at all to install, caused no stress and helps get a really strong and usable wifi signal to an area of the house where we couldn't get a signal before. What's there not to like about that? I paid £17.99 for this little device which has provided a stress free solution to a problem and that in my book anyway is a fantastic, instant return of investment. To say I am impressed is a bit of an understatement, I had never come across TP-Link before until I started to look at wifi extenders but if I need anything like this in the future I will look at their products as my first port of call. Excellent all round purchase and 2 and a half minutes of my Sunday well spent!

This was very easy to set up. Plugged it into a socket near the router, pressed the wps button on the router and then within a few seconds pressed the wps button on this, and it matched first time. I've relocated it several times to get a sweet spot, and it's picked up the router's signal automatically each time without the need to match it up again or press any more buttons. When relocating it, it does take a little bit of time to indicate that it has caught the router's signal, about 30 seconds I found. There are instructions on how to set this up if you don't have a wps button on your router but I didn't need this so can't comment on how easy this alternative setup would be. One note in the documentation says not to locate this near a microwave. I've got mine located about 10 foot away from the microwave, but each time I've used the microwave I'e had to reset this by turning it off and back on again. No big deal since I don't use the microwave that often, but I would hardly say 10 foot was "near" a microwave. A bit strange that and the reason why I've only given 4 stars, but otherwise this is a very good wifi extender that I'm happy to have purchased.

I bought this to strengthen the WiFi signal from my router to the second Ring Doorbell unit at our furthest door . The door bell/camera unit did not work at all prior to installing this and now it works perfectly . The instructions were very clear and easy to follow and the setup/connection process I found straight forward . Once connected everything worked as I had wished . In my scenario I have a cottage with old thick stone walls and I have sited the bridge unit 5mtrs from our router with a 1 mtr thick stone wall in between . With this considered the unit works well and I have no connection issues .

To be honest, this is really easy to setup. All you have to do is follow the instructions. I followed method 2 and it worked right off the bat. However, since I am using BT Home Hub 4, the problems with the Page redirects started, so after some search on the internet I managed to fix it with these steps: 1) Go to your router admin page (type 192.168.1.254 in your browser), choose advanced settings, navigate to Home Network / Smart setup and disable it. This will disable the configuration page to appear on new users, which would impede your TP LINK from accessing internet properly in pages like youtube and amazon. 2) If you already connected the device, delete it in the list of Home Network / Devices If the problem still persists, do the following: 3) Go to settings page of the TP Link (in your browser, type the ip address assigned to it like 192.168.1.X, where X is probably between 64 and 252) 4) Navigate to Network/Lan: choose static IP, write 192.168.1.X where X is between 2 and 63 on the IP Address 5) Navigate to DHCP settings: choose DHCP server off 6) Reboot the device and it should work. Repeat step 2 if it doesn't This thing is great and works pretty well (got it 7 meters away from my router and it boosts a lot), it's the hub that was at fault here for configuration.

Had ordered one for my friend earlier based on the online reviews. Order one for myself this time and I am very pleased with the product. After I set it up for the first time, it didn't seem to work and that way I got to test their customer service as well which was very good too. I can only think I made a silly mistake the first time around. Would definitely recommend this product. One small tip, once you have set it up, disconnect your wifi connection on your devices and reconnect again. You should see full signal throughout the house --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update 20/04/2017 - Nearly 6 months after the buy. I probably got a bit too excited in the initial days due to the very close proximity of the router and TP-Link. I have now placed TP-Link about 30 feet away from the main router and the signal is pathetic. Tried various other combinations but just not good enough. Wanted to update the review, for sometime, but only remembered today

I bought this because the previous set up that I was using just wasnt working well. It was a Netgear WAG102 Access Point, and it was terrible. It would drop connections, stop loading, and so on. Since my routers WiFi doesnt quite reach the bedroom, I was after another solution. I came across this and since recieving it, it works extremely well. It has the simplest setup I think any device ever has. The only downside is, however, that if you want to have custom settings, such as a different SSID (having the device "clone" your routers WiFi can be confusing for some devices) then you need to enter the configuration page, and this was sightly tricker than they let on, especially AFTER you've set the device up and linked it to your routers WiFi. If you arent connected to it, and theres no way to tell which is which since they both have the same SSID, the "tplinkrepeater.net" URL does not work. So getting onto the device means either going out of range of your router enough so that it switches connections, or finding the IP address of the repeater. I did this by logging into my main router and going to "IP Filtering" since it shows everything that is connected to it. From here, I got the repeaters address, and connecting to it was no problem using the standard 192.168 address. Beyond that, however, the device works fine and I am very happy with the purchase

I recently purchased the TP-Link TL-WA860RE N300 Universal Range Extender with Extra Power Outlet, and unfortunately, my experience with this product has been quite disappointing. Firstly, the setup process was more complicated than expected, with confusing instructions that made it challenging to get the extender up and running. It took me a significant amount of time to troubleshoot and configure the device, which was frustrating. In terms of performance, I found that the range extender did not provide a significant boost to my Wi-Fi signal strength. Even when placed in optimal locations, the extension of my network coverage was minimal, leading to continued dead zones in my home where the signal remained weak or non-existent. The extra power outlet feature, while convenient in theory, did not function reliably. I encountered issues with the power outlet not working intermittently, which was a major downside considering one of the selling points of this product. Despite reaching out to Amazon for a replacement, the second unit they sent did not perform any better. This consistent lack of improvement only added to my disappointment with the TP-Link TL-WA860RE N300 Universal Range Extender. Overall, I would not recommend this product to those seeking a reliable and effective solution for extending their Wi-Fi coverage. The setup difficulties, lackluster performance, and unreliable power outlet make this range extender fall short of expectations, even after attempting a replacement.

One star for ease of set-up: Wireless setup failed. Had to configure via ethernet cable, which was fine. But then, when I tried to use the device (to connect my Youview Box via ethernet cable) it wasn't working. Spent over an hour on TP-Link's chat support, who asked all sorts of technical questions that I didn't really have answers to. But the support was friendly and helpful, even if the procedure they took me through was a bit of a headache. The support person finally sent a link to upgrade the firmware, which I did, with some effort, not being a tech-minded person at all. Then I had to re-configure the product again, running through the basic setup procedure once more. Also, the product won't work when plugged in to an extension cord - it has to be in a wall socket. That wasn't really clear to me when I bought the product. Now, with upgraded firmware, and plugged into a wall socket, the product works very well. Great wifi signal in my sitting room, and the Youview works brilliantly. But the trouble I had setting it up felt like messing around with a PC back in 1998. These days you expect a different level of user friendliness.

Works as it should and easy to set up

Very easy to set up and then it just worked and did its job

La photo montrait bien une prise anglaise mais je me suis fié aux commentaires annonçant une prise française. J'avais un adaptateur donc je l'ai gardé...
