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 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.

The TP-Link WiFi Extender with Ethernet Port is an excellent device that truly improves your home network coverage. Setup was quick and simple — it connected to my existing router in just a few minutes using the WPS button. The signal strength has improved significantly, especially in areas where WiFi used to be weak. The Ethernet port is a big plus, allowing me to connect a smart TV or gaming console directly for a more stable connection. It’s compact, works flawlessly, and stays consistent without disconnecting. For the price, this is one of the best WiFi extenders you can get. Highly recommended!

’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.

I have a TP-Link router in my living room. Connecting it with this new TP-Link extender was quick and easy. It required no apps, websites, accounts, logins or passwords. Just the router (which is fed by an Arris cable modem) and the extender I started by plugging the extender into a power outlet next to the router. Pushing one button on each device got them communicating at 2.4Ghz. Pushing the same pair of buttons once again got them communicating at 5Ghz. I then moved the extender to its intended location in the house's center hallway, about 25 feet away from the router. I was immediately able to access the Internet through each of the router's WiFi channels, and through each of the extender's two channels. The back corners of my house, where WiFi reception had been spotty and, at best, very slow, are now perfectly fine. I didn't measure throughput rates, because my Internet speed from Cox is so slow (typically 20 or 25MB) that it's worthless for testing the limits of anything. It's only been two days, but my smartphone and laptop are working flawlessly anywhere in the house. For $12.99 (current price, Oct. 29, 2025) this TP-Link extender is a great bargain, especially given the company's track record of excellent reliability.

5-star ease of set-up (if my non-techie wife can do it, anyone can!) 5-star functionality 2-star dependability ?-star warranty experience My wife got tired of waiting for me so she did it herself. We have an almost 150 year old home. The kitchen is located in the back of the house in the "new addition" built in 1890. We swear the wall that separates the main house from the addition is lined with lead. The wi-fi located right next to that wall reaches the whole main house from basement to 2nd floor to attic. It reaches 100 feet out into the yard. But anything wi-fi in the kitchen (only 30-40 feet away) has always struggled with a weak signal. This solved the problem immediately and was one of those quick, easy AND inexpensive solutions that we always wish we could find. It recently stopped working. Reading online, it looks like a lot of people have trouble with these dying. This rarely happens to us, but it actually died with about half a month left on the warranty. We'll see what TP-Link's warranty service is like, hopefully we hear back soon.

Good price for a product that is working perfectly giving me full wifi coverage over my entire house with my wireless router and 2 of these extenders.! Easy to set up too. Recommended!

Set up was simple and took about 2 minutes! so fars it is working very well with a strong signal. it was also delivered same day.

Many factors come into play between what a device can do under ideal circumstances and configurations. Still, my 400 Mbs internet connection at my central modem versus the speed when it gets to my backyard home office (about 100 feet) is 30 Mbs on my 5 Ghz band. I bought another wireless repeater, and the rate was approximately the same still (maybe a couple of Mbps improvement)- the only real difference was that the signal was more stable, which is something- luckily, I bought this product at the same time intended to be used as range extender/wireless bridge because I have a VoIP office phone, and I discovered swapping the two in their respective primary roles gave me a connection in the 70-100 Mbps range on the 5 GHz band portion of my network. In short, the TP-Link RE220 appears to be stronger in range extension capability than the " WiFi Extender, 2023 Fastest WiFi Booster 1200Mbps Dual Band (5GHz/2.4GHz) WiFi Extenders Signal Booster for Home, Internet Booster WiFi Repeater Covers up to 10000sq. Ft and 45 Devices (Black)" Still, Unfortunately, it was harder to get this device (TP-Link RE220) to work as a wireless bridge than the other device; I had to run the Ethernet connection troubleshooter tool on Windows multiple times before it started working as a wireless bridge which was ironically what I bought this unit to do initially since it specified it could do that in its specs and produce information on Amazon. The only frustrating part is that on the same side of the room, my range extender (when testing either device mentioned), which is about 40 feet from the central gateway modem, the Mac computer pulls in ~400 Mbps from the gateway modem. At the same time, the repeaters could only pop out, even within a couple of feet of them, register (Andriod phone and said Mac running by Ethernet from the repeaters only) a signal with a top speed of just barely 100 Mbps. Placing the repeaters within 10 feet of the central gateway home modem and comparing the rate only registered ~150 Mbps, getting the top Mbps speed in a typical house setup is unlikely. Thus, the specs must have been taken in an open lab with nothing between the originating internet modem/router and the devices themselves... Moving the units in repeater mode closer to the house towards the modem only made the signal that reached the home office weaker- thus negating any benefits of the repeater sending out a faster signal due to being closer to the main home modem/router. One ding I give both devices is that I was unsuccessful in using the Wi-Fi-based setup option based on logging onto the default mode signal from the unit and putting in the specified URL to access the setup wizard. There was an app one could use, but I only had success getting to work by plugging each device via their respective ethernet ports to a dedicated computer with an ethernet port and accessing it through the ethernet connection. Otherwise, the setup would fail once the WiFi configuration changes took effect. I'm glad I had an ethernet cable and the intuition and computer savvy to use it that way (it is in the instructions- but how to get it to set up through the ethernet connection is not as spelled out as lower-skilled users could require without needing to consult another more advanced computer user), or I would have never gotten either device to work as intended. Devices like these are why less tech-savvy people hire people to set up their computer networks. If the set-up by Wi-Fi worked as the instructions described, the set-up would be a breeze... but in practice, it doesn't (at least for me), and that is my biggest complaint, besides the out-of-touch-with-reality specs either product lists in their descriptions on Amazon. TLDR edition: If you are looking to speed up your connection to a remoter part of your dwelling or property, this is likely only going to be able to triple the speed you would get from an unassisted home router, not ten times the speed or the speed at the source router- even if you have Gigabyte per second plus internet packages. A much more pricey unit with more transmission wattage and larger/longer antennas may get you gateway modem/souter speed connections even in distant parts of your dwelling space or backyard these units will give you. Nevertheless, you will see that kind of performance from these units under normal operating conditions. You get what you pay for; it has solved my unstable and overly sluggish connection problem, which prompted the purchases in the first place. I'll take a stable/strong 70-100 Mbps connection in my home office over a shotty/weak 20-30 Mbps any day of the week, especially for the price I paid (I got them on Prime Days sales prices).
