Customer Ratings & Reviews

Using it as an Access Point (AP) gives it better performance than a simple Range Extender (RE). No need to try and boost a weak signal to begin with. We have Cat-6 throughout our home, so running this AC1750 from one of our network ports as an AP extends a Wi-Fi signal that our Verizon Wi-Fi 6 router cannot accomplish. We use this TP-Link-AC1750 (RE450) in the basement and a TP-Link-AC2600 (RE650) also as an RE on the 2nd Floor.

As good as it was reviewed. Only issue I had was yard and garage. 17,500 square foot yard is now almost completely covered and the detached garage has a signal. Read the instructions and setup is fast and easy if you have a modern router they will find each other with two button pushes. I just purchased a new wifi modem and it didn't connect to the 5G the first time but now it is right as rain.

I am a 64 yo woman w/ a lil knowledge in this brain still! But it was easy to set up and always connects w/ full bars!!

In a room with bad signal it works twice better than before.

Following each step in EXACT ORDER and both 2.4ghz & 5ghz lights stay solid blue everytime !! If you have to unplug and move to a different/new location >> all 3 lights stop blinking = good to go ! No need to push the wps button a 2nd time.

Long time users of the internet can remember modems and dialup. I had two phone lines so I wouldn’t tie up the main phone line. I then progressed to DSL and finally cable. The instant internet connections were glorious – and then came WiFi. I thought I was in heaven! However, there was one problem. My house is long and the cable came in at one end of the house and that’s where my router was located. I had great coverage at that end of the house but was a little spotty in the other end. I have an Airport Extreme base station and was very happy with it. I had tried other range extenders, but they seemed to slow down my connection and they proved to not be very reliable. So when I had the chance to try the TP-Link AC1750 RE450 Range Extender, I was expecting to be disappointed as I was with the other range extenders. Boy was I surprised! The first thing you notice about the AC1750 is it size. It’s not small. The electrical plug is at the bottom of the unit and covers most of the other plug in your electrical outlet. This is a small price to pay for the performance – more on that in a bit. It is 6.5 inches long and 8 inches with the middle antenna extended. It is 1.5 inches deep and 3 inches wide but 5.5 inches wide with both side antennas flipped up. Once you plug it in, a blue LED power light lets you know that it is ready to go. The quick instruction guide follows you through the set up. There are two options – using a web browser and using WPS. I used the web browser. In your Wi-Fi settings you will select TP-LINK_Extender_2.4GHz and then go to your web browser of choice and enter http://tplinkrepeater.net. Use admin for both the username and password. You will be prompted to change both of these and then you will be guided through the rest of the setup process. I selected to keep the existing SSID and to have both the 2.4GHz and 5 GHz networks show as one. When the settings are to your liking, the extender will reboot and you will set the 2.4GHz and 5GHz light lit up. The large circular button will have a blue ring around it if your extender is in a good location (at least halfway between the router and your dead zone) and red if it is too far away. Now for the real test. Did it help my dead spot and increase my speeds? I know that the 2.4 GHz band can travel farther, but the 5 GHz is better because it can transfer larger amounts of data and is less congested. I used a Wi-Fi app to test the coverage on my Mac. The results are shown in the pictures. I was in the middle of my house and could barely see the 5 GHz band before the extender, but after I was not only seeing it there but everywhere in my house! I recently upgraded to a 30 Mbps internet plan and was only getting that in the bedroom above where my router was located. As you can see in the picture, I was not getting the speed I was paying for. This picture was taken at the complete opposite end of the house! I went from 15 Mbps to 34 Mbps. There is also an Gigabit port if you want to run an Ethernet cable to it. I can not sing the praises of this range extender enough. With all the streaming and downloading that is being done in my home, the increased speeds and coverage is amazing. If there are any problems, it comes with a two year warranty and 24/7 technical support. It says on the box it will work with any W-Fi router. It played very nicely with my Apple Airport Extreme. I’m sure that it you get this extender you will not be disappointed!! (This is a review of a free product received by TP-LINK as part of the review program.)

Had to have GeekSquad come by and set it up but Rene was awesome and knew what he was doing!! This TP Link WiFi extender is fantastic!!

Over the years I have purchased numerous range extenders and they are all sitting in a drawer gathering dust because they didn't work. Most were difficult to set up and would drop connection and require rebooting constantly. This item works! Setup was a non-event. I pushed a button on my Fios Quantum Router and a button on this unit, watched the lights flash for a few moments, and the setup was done. Not only that, but the unit has not had a hiccup once since being placed into service. It has extended my wifi to the far regions of my home giving acceptable speed and a seamless connection. Also, unlike the comment made by one of the other reviewers, I still had the use of the second plug on my standard 2 plug outlet. I highly recommend this TP-link range extender.

I use to have a Linksys wifi extender that i had to manage online. This device with TP-Link is compatible with the Tether App. It makes it soo much easier managing it like getting the device connected to your wifi router, seeing whats connected to the device, channels, and soo much more. I love the convenience. If you have a hard time connecting to 5ghz, be sure to go to the settings on the original wifi router and change the channel to 36 or 42. It’ll connect for sure afterwards

I love this extender. I have a TP-Link AX3000 router and this extender was simple to integrate. I use the TP-Link Tether app to install and manage the network including this extender. I have a very smart house with over 40 connected devices. I let the extender do the work. I setup the 2.4 and 5.0 ssid with the same name. So when I'm adding a new device, the network knows how to determine the correct connection (router or extender and 2.4 or 5.0) to balance the traffic. I have a large one story home and previous to adding this extender, we would periodically get device not active messages. I think my network was too crowded. Now we never get this message. This extender also solved the problem of going thru the exterior walls to get to the devices in my yard. I'm not really a techie. But it didn't take much understanding to get this extender installed and integrated into my network.

I live in a brick apartment building and the standard internet carrier- grade router did not have enough horse power to reach all corners of my apartment. This range extender resolved the issues of dead spots with low connectivity. The signal strength is noticeably stronger. I have two to four devices connected simultaneously (apple TV, laptop, two iphones). For more devices I would recommend the higher grade of the same model which has wifi MIMO (multiple input - multiple output) functionality. Think of it as a multi lane highway beaming the signals parallel across multiple lanes.

I bought this because there is a dead spot in one of my rooms and needed a wifi extender. After doing research I decided upon this one. The set up was fairly easy but I did have trouble getting the extender to recognize the 5hz signal from my router. As it turns out, it appears to the the fault of my router. So I had to set that part up manually with the app. THe performance has been great. That dead spot is gone and it is as fast as other areas of my house. A great product with an easy to use app.

This was exactly what I needed to extend Wifi in my home, signal is amazing and the app makes it super easy to set up and place in tbe perfect area of your home. It picks up both the standard WiFi and the 5G WiFi and extended both signals.

A little concerned about a few of the reviews where people had issues with their setup, I took the plunge based on the positive reviews and the unit went on an excellent sale so decided I could always take it back if it gave me issues. Glad I did as the setup was a breeze. I have it on the far end of our house to allow for stronger connections with devices in the garage (which is separate and even farther away) and it works perfectly. Those devices would randomly send me notifications of a lost internet signal on a regular basis. Once I set this up (2.4 only, as I needed the range) , those have all gone away. Would definitely purchase, again.

This extender was very easy to set up. I have been using it now with multiple items connected with no issues. Things seem to stay connected and the signal is strong. The app makes it's very easy to set up, use, and monitor the status of the extender. Overall I am very satisfied.

Easy to use, and works great. We got a clear signal immediately.

I love this product. It seamlessly integrated with my existing wifi router and it really extended the range of wifi signal. Surprisingly, the 5G band is really fast, it is even faster than my new google wifi mesh routers. I am very happy about this product.

Great range extender for home wifi network, it just about doubled the strength of my 2.5 single band wifi signal. Setup was sust plain simple through my browser, easy to change the ssid.

Excellent results. Put in center of 2200 ft home and get good reception in remote area of house. Very easy installation. Installation completed in 5 minutes. Very pleased with purchase.

Setup using a browser in 2 minutes. The great thing is that once setup it just extended our current Wifi with the same Wifi name and password. Did not require a separate Wifi name or to login so we can roam anywhere and it keep the speeds up very well.
