I have a TP-Link mesh network, needed another node to connect a new appliances so this has a TP-Link SG108 switch downstream. Easy to manage and generally reliable, plus happily coexists with a number of other TP-Link network devices. Doesn't seem to get the speed suggested. For sure, update the firmware immediately and that improves stability.

Second device bought. Work perfectly to repeat wifi signal all over the house without fault. Works also to send wifi to a different floor of the villa. Used for many months and i never got disappointed. Also easy to install

This WiFi extender has proven to be outstanding. Despite being a refurbished unit, it operates flawlessly. Its range is remarkable, allowing me to set up a pseudo-mesh network with two extenders. The coverage is extensive and surpasses what I had anticipated. Overall, it’s an excellent purchase, particularly for those considering refurbished options.

My LAN modem is on the second floor. Wireless signal strength on the first floor and basement was always poor. This unit raised the signal strength on the first floor from "poor" to "excellent" for both my laptops and mobile phones. The unit was not difficult to install but I could not make the setup happen using my mobile phone -- the email that was supposed to arrive after I created a login never arrived, even after multiple re-transmit requests. When I switched from my mobile phone (android) to my desktop the email arrived promptly. One note if you are going to use this unit, When you want to connect a device to the extended LAN you use your LAN password, not the tp-link password you created for setup. Overall I had the unit up and working in about 40 minutes. I would recommend this unit for extending household LANs

This product is absolute garbage. Please do yourself a favor and heed my warning. I used my iMac, macOS Catalina, to connect to the extender and set it up. This was using the wifi connection, since the built-in Gigabit port on the extender wasn't enabled yet. I am NOT stupid, and I know how to set up computer networks. I was able to get the extender to connect on the 2.4 and 5ghz bandwidths from my router, but I could not get any devices to have internet access when connected through the extender back to my router. I began to investigate and noticed that in the settings this extender has a DEFAULT DHCP server enabled. WHY??? My router is the DHCP server, and only it should hand out IP addresses. This option should only be enabled when you choose to set the extender up as a Wireless Access Point. I disabled this stupid setting, rebooted both the router and the extender, but still had no internet access. I definitely received IP addresses from the router, through the extender, back to connected devices. I eventually connected the Gigabit port to my iMac's LAN port as a final test. This was my undoing...I did not have internet access this way either, so I rebooted my iMAc. Upon reboot neither the wifi card nor the LAN card could make a connection. I turned off the extender and attempted to connect to my router via the iMac's wifi. Nothing. Network Utility showed nothing. No IP, no connection. I rebooted the iMac into recovery mode and Network Utility made a solid connection. So now I'm kicking the table, because the network cards work in Recovery, but not in the OS. Booting back into the OS, and nothing. I flushed the DNS cache more times than I can remember. I reset NVRAM. I rebooted more times. Nothing. THIS PIECE OF JUNK BROKE MY IMAC NETWORKING!! My last ditch effort was to reboot back into recovery and restore from a Time Machine backup. The backup utility said it would take 4-5 hours to complete....I said a small prayer and went to bed. The next morning my iMac was connected back to my router, and working fine. Seriously reader, do not buy this, especially if you have a Mac.

Decent range extender. I got a refurb with hardware version 1, so I can not update the system with the opensource firmware I wanted BUT the firmware it has is sufficient for what I needed and works well.I wanted a range extender for my shop with a ethernet port so I could build a small LAN for all my gadgets that might need internet for updating and such. My modem/wifi router is in my house and can not be moved or my wife and kids would feed me to the neighbors dogs. The house is about 50ft away but plenty of walls in way so running a cable is not feasible and buying a wireless router with more power is not a reality no matter what the advertisements say. (5gh is 5ghz, and the FCC regulates power output to be certified)So I needed a range extender AP that could dual band bond, and provide dhcp on the ethernet port. This unit fits the bill and does what I need.The setup webpage is easy enough to use, and I like that you can duplicate the ssid of your regular router with the same password OR set each band to a different SSID and password.For me that was great as I keep things separate.

Device is easy to install and works fine, with one major exception. The max wifi speed is half of wifi speed when connecting directly to the router. I can use my phone right next to the AC1750 and get 400Mbps when connected directly to my router, but only 200Mbps when connected to the extender. Contacted TP-Link and they say that's normal and how it works due to "interference". So don't expect full speed when going through the extender. It can extend the distance from the router where there's a solid signal, so can still be useful, but a max of half speed is far less than ideal.Edit: A couple of tips. If you can run a cable from your router to the extender configure the extender as an access point. This will allow much faster throughput on the wifi connections. Of course extenders are often used to extend wifi reach and a cable run isn't practical, but if it is the speed can double. Also, the Tether app doesn't appear to allow changing the channels the extender uses and the default is for it to use the same channels as the router, which maximizes interference. If you use a PC to access the extender the configuration options do include specifying the channels used on the extender. Tweaking those can potentially make a big difference in speed. On Android you can use an app like Wifiman to see which channels are congested in your location, which allows selecting channels that are not in use for more speed.
