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.

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.

’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.

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.

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

Product works really well, i downloaded the app and it walked me through the setup process very easily. I ended up plugging the unit halfway between my router and my deadzone and now i am getting high speed internet through the whole house with no problems. I highly recommend this product, especially for the price. This is one of the most affordable ones i could find and it does the trick for my small home. I like that i can access it through the app to check on things as well

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.

Bastante bueno y fácil de configurar. Me ayuda bastante con mi wifi.
