TP-Link AC1200 WiFi Extender, 2023 Engadget Best Budget Pick, 1.2Gbps Signal Booster for Home, Dual Band 5GHz/2.4GHz, Covers Up to 1500 Sq.ft and 30 Devices,Support Onemesh, One Ethernet Port (RE315)

This TP-Link WiFi extender works really well and does exactly what it promises. Setup was quick and easy, and within minutes I noticed a big improvement in WiFi coverage, especially in areas where the signal was weak before. The connection is stable and fast enough for streaming, browsing, and everyday use. I like how compact it is, and the signal lights make it easy to find the best spot to plug it in. For the price, the performance is excellent and feels very reliable. Overall, this is a great value for the money. If you need to extend your WiFi without spending too much, this is a very good option. Highly recommended.

The TP-Link AC1200 Wi-Fi Range Extender RE315 is a solid, budget-friendly fix that actually works. Setup is a breeze and only takes about five minutes using the Tether app. What I love most is the OneMesh support, which creates a single, seamless network so your phone doesn't drop the signal while you're walking around the house. It even has a smart signal light on the front that turns white when you’ve found the perfect spot and red if it's too far from the router, taking all the guesswork out of placement. While it’s not the absolute fastest tech on the market, it provides plenty of speed for 4K streaming and video calls, and there's even an Ethernet port if you want to hardwire a device for extra stability. It’s a great middle ground solution if you want to kill dead spots without spending hundreds on a full system.

This is a great extender. It was very easy to set up and has great range. The only point holding this back from 5 stars was that you have to connect to this extender and didn’t just work as an extension of your network. I didn’t think you would need to be logged into the extender as well as the network in other areas of the house. I thought it would just work invisibly by extending the existing network, but that might be my misunderstanding of how this worked.

This worked great. My router combined both 2.4GHz and 5GHz and I used this extender to assist with 2.4GHz. The instructions were easy and it connected to my router with no problem. A couple of my gadgets only needed the 2.4GHz option and this helped connect to them right away and they are no longer dropping on the network. The signal is also stronger because of the extended coverage so that is an added plus. The design is great and I barely notice is it’s there because of the size. I also used this option instead of buying a whole new router which would cost me way more.

I purchased this to extend wifi to my three KASA smart lights located just outside my garage doors. I have Access Points on all 3 levels of my home, but was getting a weak signal to 2 lights and no signal at all to 1 of the lights. I decided to install the extender on the ceiling using the garage outlet so it wouldn't take up a wall outlet or be in the way. I was initially confused by the setup becuase I did know that in a Wifi Extender (non-mesh) setup that you have to connwct the desired devices to the Wifi Extener network. Once I got that squared away, everything was plug and play. Plus, the TP Extender has a cool feature called 'Location Assistant' that helps you position the Extender to ensure it get good signal from your home network. After I setup everything, my smart lights are all getting -70dBm signal from my Wifi Extender and I have access to the lights with my phone connected to my home network.

I live in a house with a few different people and also work from home which requires me to have a direct line to the internet via an ethernet port. (I'm not tech savvy so not sure if I explained that right.) my internet bill went up significantly and was just an added expense I couldn't really afford and was stressing about what to do about my internet. One of my housemates sent me the link for this and told me I could get their wifi password. I was skeptical at first, but after getting it home I was pleasantly surprised. The quality is great. The Wi-Fi signal is strong. To get an idea of it's range, I'm on the another floor on the opposite side of the house and it works great. When I try to just log on to my housemates Wi-Fi on my phone, without the extender, the Wi-Fi is spotty. But with this, I've never had a problem. The security seems to be good. I can plug my ethernet cord right in to it. And it had never overheated. Overall, I was really impressed. Would definitely recommend this product.

This is a nice extender and does its job well. Pros: - Easy to setup - Small - Ethernet backhaul mode is really really nice. Cons: - The big one for me is that it only extends the primary SSIDs. The TPLink router gives us nice options for guest and IOT networks, and those options are completely gone here. You'd think that a device from the same family would support the same features... - Needed an updated firmware before started working correctly. Before the firmware update it was messing up my whole network while trying to do Ethernet backhaul.

I purchased this device to extend wifi coverage into the backyard for a Birdfy camera. It connects to a TP-Link AX4400 as the primary router. It extends both a 2.4 and 5 GHz network in an EasyMesh configuration with another RE315. The coverage is excellent. The building has corrugated metal exterior and interior walls; so this is impressive. Overall I highly recommend this repeater for its price, coverage, ease of setup, and quality build.
