TP-Link WiFi Extender with Ethernet Port, Dual Band 5GHz/2.4GHz, Up to 44% More Bandwidth Than Single Band, Covers Up to 1200 Sq.ft and 30 Devices, Signal Booster Amplifier Supports OneMesh(RE220)

I got this TP-Link WiFi extender to improve the signal in parts of my home where the connection was weak, and it made a huge difference. The setup was quick and easy, and it connected to my router without any issues. Once installed, the signal became much stronger and more stable. I really like that it has dual band (2.4GHz and 5GHz), which helps with better performance and less lag. The Ethernet port is also a great bonus if you want a direct wired connection for something like a TV or gaming console. Overall, it boosted my coverage exactly the way I needed, and the speed improvement was noticeable.

I bought this TP-Link WiFi extender over a year ago, to provide a strong signal for devices in my home office as well as some outdoor wifi cameras that were having trouble locking onto the main router's wifi signal. Thus far, it has worked reliably; it is a set-it-and-forget-it type of device that, once you have configured it, just works, 24x7. For the price, it's very good and seems to extend quite far into the yard even through a wall (30-40 feet). You have to name the extender something different from your primary wifi network. For example, if your network is named "living-room", you would name the extender network something different such as "bedroom". Since it provides both 2.4 Gh and 5 Gh bands, you typically will have "bedroom" and "bedroom-5g". Once it is set up, the extender connects to "living-room" (to use the above example) and amplifies the signal locally. Thus, while you are in the bedroom, you should enjoy a good strong wifi signal. If you happen to turn off the living room router, of course, you will also lose the bedroom signal. For the price, this extender is a no-brainer. The next step up would be a mesh system, which is much more expensive but provides you with an even better approach which is the same name all through the building. Instead of having to log into several wifi networks on all your devices, now you would just have one (e.g., "livingroom") and it automatically handles the extender feature without forcing you to go through all this extra name rigamarole. Meshes are definitely next level. But for the tiny cost of the basic TP-Link extender, which honestly is cheaper these days than a large 3-topping pizza, you can get by very well. After over a year, my extender is still going strong, as are the two other TP-Links I have around the house. The only issue I've had is that once in a while, typically after a power outage, the extender may require a reboot, for some reason. Inside is a tiny computer (probably) running some flavor of Linux and in the event of a glitch, sometimes it does not properly shut down and thus needs to cleanly recycle. Unplug it, wait 30 seconds, then plug back in, the LED indicator lights will gradually turn back on, and it should be up and running again. You have to make sure your wifi router is already up and running, of course, or it won't have anything to connect to. If this doesn't work, press the reset button for 20 seconds, connect a phone or tablet to the TP-Link hotspot and go through the setup process. I have had to do this once or twice and everything worked perfectly once complete. All in all, it is a highly recommended device that will make it easier to browse the web in anything larger than a one room apartment.

’ve been using the TP-Link RE220 WiFi extender for a while now, and it’s turned out to be one of those small gadgets that makes a big difference at home. Setup & Everyday Use Setup was honestly the part that impressed me first. I plugged it in, pressed WPS on my router and on the extender, and within a couple of minutes it was up and running. The app and web interface are straightforward, so even if you’re not very tech-savvy, you won’t be stuck guessing what to do next. Adjustable Range & Coverage What I really like is how much control I have over the range of the signal. By changing where I place it and tweaking the settings, I can decide whether I want it to push the signal just to a nearby room or cover a larger area. It’s not just “on or off” – you can fine-tune things so you’re not blasting maximum signal where it’s not needed. That’s been great for avoiding interference with neighbors’ WiFi and keeping the connection more stable. Dual-Band Flexibility (2.4 GHz & 5 GHz) Another huge plus is being able to choose the signal frequency. The extender supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, and I can decide which band each device uses. I use the 5 GHz band for things like streaming and gaming where I want the fastest speeds, and 2.4 GHz for devices that just need a steady connection and longer range. That flexibility makes the extender feel more like a mini-router than a basic repeater. Performance In terms of performance, it does exactly what I expect from an extender. Speeds are naturally a bit lower than being directly connected to the main router, but the important part is that areas that used to be dead zones are now usable. I can browse, stream, and work without constant drop-outs. The Ethernet port on the bottom is also a nice touch if you want to give one device (like a TV or console) a more stable connection. Things to Keep in Mind • Like any extender, it works best if you place it midway between the router and the weak area, not right at the far edge. • Don’t expect it to magically outperform your main router – think of it as extending what you already have, not replacing it. Overall For the price, the TP-Link RE220 delivers excellent value. The ability to adjust the range, the very simple setup, and being able to choose between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz make it feel much more premium than its cost suggests. If you have dead spots in your home and want a no-nonsense solution that you can customize to your needs, this extender is a solid choice.

This was one of the easiest pieces of electronics I’ve ever had to setup. The app was easy to install and easy to follow. It offers all the information you need to make this work. It easily connects to many decides and offers great signal strength. Once connected, it WORKS! For the price you would expect something cheap but it’s durable and looks great in my home.

The TP-Link RE220 WiFi Extender is a solid option for extending your home network, but it has a few trade-offs. Setup is straightforward, and the dual-band support helps boost signal to dead zones. It works well for casual browsing and streaming, but I noticed speeds drop under multiple device usage, and coverage didn’t fully reach some distant rooms. The Ethernet port is a nice addition, though not a game-changer. Overall, it’s an okay budget-friendly option for smaller homes, but heavy users or large spaces may need something more robust.

Es muy efectivo, facil de conectar y en efecto amplía la señal del wifi. Tiene ambas redes 5G y 2.4, puedes cambiar el nombre.

el mejor en su genero./ muy buena marca / facil instalacion desde su App/ y una de sus caracteristicas mas importantes es que amplifica 2 bandas. / 2.4Ghz y 5Ghz. / Muy Buen Producto!

Es buen producto, pues realmente sí funciona. El router lo tengo en un cuarto de arriba pegado a las escaleras y quería que la señal llegara mejor en la sala de abajo. Mi casa no es grande y aun así se tiene que colocar el extensor en un buen punto, pues subiendo las escaleras era muy cerca del router y en la sala era muy lejos, así que lo tuve que conectar a una extensión y lo extendía hasta abajo de las escaleras, lo cual no me parece el resultado que yo esperaba (lo quería poner en el enchufe pegado al sillón), pero realmente cumple su cometido, y sí mejoró la señal, así que nomás por ese detalle le doy 4 estrellas, porque si es un poco exigente en cuanto al punto de colocación, pero de ahí en fuera, la instalación bastante fácil y el funcionamiento es bastante bueno.

Después de 3 meses de uso no ha presentado ninguna falla, es fácil conectarse y ha mejorado mucho la señal en mi departamento; es un buen producto

Un equipo con varias opciones para ser configurado, funciona bastante bien y con buenas prestaciones.
