What customers say about "Key Specs"
TP-LINK TL-WA850RE N300 Wi-Fi Range Extender
- My room is in the attic, the router is downstairs, and it has boosted my PS4 speed from 8gb to 30gb!!! It even has a very handy app!
- I performed a few internet speed tests with SpeedCheck Pro and wow... my internet speed had increased from about 3-5Mbps to 20-30Mbps.
- I can wholeheartedly recommend this device and although nowhere do they advertise that it increases internet speed, in my case it certainly has.
- Vastly better than devices using our house's (modern) wiring, both in terms of ease of setup and signal strength/ speed.
- Using an online speed test I measured an increase from 26mbps to 97mbps so has proven to be very effective.
TP-LINK RE200 AC750 WiFi Range Extender
- To my surprise not only did the TP-Link boost the signal to the 2nd floor as desired but it also increased my signal strength in the basement on my primary PC.
- As for the speed of the connection via the extender, it is the same as directly via the rooter. I was expecting a speed decrease but no.
- I was getting sub 3 mbps download speeds. After installing this baby it throttled to 56 mbps.
- With the extender, its a solid 30mbps with perfect signal. Given our internet speeds the extender is operation 100% perfectly.
- The show loading speed is never immediate but is quicker than it has been.

TP-LINK RE200 AC750 WiFi Range Extender
- The unit itself is nice and small with NO WIRES! Due to it's size, I am easily able to hide it behind a storage rack and still have the quality signal I expect from my internet.
- The device is TINY! It's the size of a stinking night light!
- It is small and unobtrusive - I had one member of my family convinced it was a nightlight for a minute or two - and yet it is a powerful tool.
- It's small and unobtrusive and looks great!
- It's small and when plugged in looks something like a night light or air freshener.

What customers say about "Features"
TP-LINK TL-WA850RE N300 Wi-Fi Range Extender
- Excellent product. Easy to configure with the "Tether" app. Just follow the instructions on app as you go.
- I had to use the app on my phone to synce it which wasn't a problem.
- If you don't have a cable, an App on your phone should allow you to perform a step by step setup.
- Blue lights do shine very brightly at night which is a bit annoying.
- Interestingly the TP-Link app sometimes says the signal is weak between the router and extender, and at others says it's perfect, even though neither has moved or is obstructed.
TP-LINK RE200 AC750 WiFi Range Extender
- The Tether app that comes with it lets me see if anything needs to be tweaked for the best overall performance.
- Website/app: easy to navigate, easy to use features and good design.
- Through the Tether app I know which devices connect through the Range Extender and which go through the primary router.
- The setting process is fast and easy, the app is so amazing, everything works.
- This range extender is easy to set up with WPS and has a strong signal with great range. The Tether app is great.
