I have 2 of the TP Range extenders .They work very well and are very reasonably priced .Dan

Tether app did not work for setup
I purchased this to use at my church to substitute for the internal wifi for a media player that had failed. I decided to test it at home before taking it to the church. I attempted to set it up using the Tether app on my phone as was recommended. Tether was able to find the device but was never able to complete the setup, even when the device and my phone were within 5 feet of my wireless router. I decided to try WPS and that worked – but I knew that the church system was using a separate controller with multiple WAPS and did not support WPS. I finally tried connecting the RE205 directly to my network through the RJ45 and was able to open the web server on the RE205 and complete setup. Thankfully that same approach worked at the church and I was able to set it up on that network. All is well, but it was definitely not “Easy to install”.

Ahora que todo mundo ha necesitado tener internet y en especial Wifi los canales de la red de 2.4 Ghz están prácticamente saturados así que la única forma de tener conexión estable es potenciar tu propia red o potenciar la red de 5 Ghz que es muy rápida pero es difícil que llegue a toda una casa.Hice varias pruebas potenciando las dos 2.4 y 5 y usando speedtest encontré que el dispositivo tiene una opción de “maxima velocidad” donde elimina una de las redes a potenciar y las consolida, los resultados fueron excelentes. Mi mejor configuración fue que use la de 2.4 y la distribuya en 5 Ghz con resultados de mas del 200% de mejora.Ahora ya no tengo falla de conexión por mi propia red, obviamente el servicio de internet tiene una MTBF de mas o menos 10-13 horas por lo que la intermitencia del servicio no se soluciona , oslo la intermitencia en tu propio domicilio por interferencia.

I was overwhelmed with user reviews on such repeaters and extenders. Secondly, I did not know what to value for in these devices other than price and user feedback. so I will share my experience to help answer these 2 important points.Repeaters, range extenders, access points ..what is right for me ? Without being too technical – here are some use cases.1) Solving issues around poor wifi zones in your house – this will serve as either extender to increase wifi signal or help you create a wired access point using your existing wireless signal. This is extremely useful if you have a device that needs a wired input or if you prefer a wired input. E.g. VOIP phones etc. This device can give you a wired Ethernet connection from your current wireless system without having to move your existing router.2) Cut the cord & go wireless – these days, most internet service providers give you wireless modems. Meaning they have some basic wireless capabilities that are fairly adequate. However you can use this device to extend and repeat those signals and completely go cord free in your entire house. That saves you the cost of buying rather expensive wireless routers with this rather small and cheaper option.3) Get high speed in network jammed & congested areas – like condos, too dense neighborhoods or multiple routers in a house. Use the 2.4Ghz & 5 Ghz options to get blazing speeds in areas where you have many wifi signals that compete in the same channels and slow down your own connections, even with a good high speed internet. its not your fault but you are sharing airwaves with everyone around you. This device lets you connect to 2.4Ghz ( more popular & common frequency) and then let you connect to this device using a 5 Ghz frequency. In short you get a highway to this range extender even on a busy road. Trust me its a neat feature to get high speed in very dense zones.Personally, this has been my biggest win by using this device. I am able to get a combo of 2.4Ghz & 5 Ghz frequency and cut across the wifi signal congestion for my upstairs bedroom from my basement router beacon. It not only increase my actual throughput speed but also reduced latency ( showing faster web page load and response times)Finally – TP link has the best remote management capability using their tether mobile app. That means you can control and administer your network using your mobile phone without having to connect to routers using a laptop and a wired cable.Happy to help anyone going through similar challenges as mine from my own experience. Hope the feedback and review on this device helps your quest for solving the most common problems…slow, weak or flaky wireless internet 🙂 with dead zone in houses where routers are either not strong or cannot distribute signal uniformly.
