Good, but can be problematic if you're buying second hand.
Good points: This product does what it says on the box. Bad points: Tak - es up a power socket. Can be less easy to set up if it has been previously used, especially if a password has been set - it took three attempts at a reset to achieve success.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

TP-Link RE200 V2 issues
I bought a used RE200 V2 and had lots of trouble getting it identified by my SKY ER110. I have an earlier RE200 V1 bought new and that is solid. Connected and correctly identified by the SKY ER110 without and issue. The RE200 V2 would show up as an UNKNOWN device on the list of "Attached Devices" on the SKY ER110 box. The first two bytes of the MAC address always showed up different to that printed on the RE200 for both the 2.4 and 5Ghz wifi interfaces. On a couple of occasions I would see the correct address for a short while, then back to the first two bytes going bad. I even did a firmware upgrade hoping that would resolve this issue. The upgrade went perfectly without a problem but the above problems remained. Apart from these issues, the device does work. Purchased to provide a wifi connection to my wired only printer.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Neat WiFi range extender
This neat looking unit extends my Plusnet Wi-Fi signal upstairs, not a particularly long distance but ensures my bedroom's get a decent signal. It doesn't have any external aerials like some units on the market, whether that's important or not I wouldn't know. The various ways of wirelessly connecting the unit to your main router hub are described quite well in the clear and uncomplicated manual. I had no problems, just need to wait for the units' signals to find each other and self-configure. I used the WPS button (photo) on my main router hub so I did not need to download the app or use a browser window on a computer to configure/connect the unit. This particular WiFi extender transmits on both 2.4 and 5 gigahertz bands. My latest Huawei Nova mobile locks on the 5 gigahertz WiFi signal.

Efficient way to BOOST wifi, not strictly an extender though!
Positioning of this is critical, it does pump out both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, but take my advice, and put some doubled-up tin foil about baking-tray sized, behind your wifi hub first. This, may be the biggest boost you will ever get for nothing - think of the microwaves in wifi as light - reflect more from the back, where it probably is ‘wasted’ and it gets focused to the front. About 40% boost in power just from tin foil - no it’s not a joke, I worked in IT in an emergency service, not kidding this really works. Same as if you put foil at the back of a lamp. This unit, you plug it in, you will want to download the TP-Link ‘tether’ app now. Don’t connect to the little network the ‘extender’ - really a booster or repeater in truth - until you get the app downloaded. Once you have the app, you have to have an ID on the TP-Link system! That’s the paperwork over, NOW you can log onto the non-connected world of the ‘extender’ wireless network, it will be called something _EXT if it’s new. NOW, setup the unit to be able to log into your existing wifi. NOW, you may set the unit following the option of ‘extender’ to have the wifi network name the same as your little extender/booster unit. This makes the transition seamless as you move through your home, because you set the password to be the same, and the wifi network name to be the same as your main wifi hub. It’s called ‘cloning’. OR of course, you can mess with the pressing of the WPS or quick-setup button. I didn’t because I have no idea where this button is on my wifi hub, and it’s buried behind the TV. POSITIONING - essentially, you want to make this unit plug in to where SOLID wiring is in the wall. I say this, staring at my own device, slapped onto a dangling 4-gang, but don’t do as I do, do as I say...! The location, is to be BEFORE your wifi ‘runs out’ properly. If two rooms down, the wifi has gone, do NOT plug this unit there. Move one room nearer or the hallway or something. To be brutally honest, if I had my money back after the umpteen extender/booster boxes and broken obsolete wifi hubs stacked in the loft, I’d just get a mesh system - but in effect, I am going to end up with that, once the other extenders arrive (really extenders this time, it goes through the mains then emitted as wifi after that). This unit is technically a booster, or repeater, because it takes the existing wifi signal and reinforces it or repeats it, amped back up to full power. At the extremities of our property - the summerhouse - I utilise the fact a mainscable runs to the shed opposite, and there is a socket in there, from which a ‘proper’ extender emits wifi, having received the data via the mains cable instead of wifi, which was non-existent in the garden. It sprays the wifi willy-nilly, so again I got sticky-back copper foil this time and CAREFULLY stuck it to the ‘backside’ of the wifi powerline unit, the side furthest from the garden, so it too, gets boosted for free, focused in the direction of the summerhouse/garden. As a result, these boosters/repeaters work to give us 50Mbps in the front lobby, then the next room the kitchen, so they daisy-chain in effect, from where the hub is in the front room in that manner, their ‘zones’ of wifi overlap, this is what you must do. Unless all the front lights are green, it ain’t working properly. With wifi, the POWER emitted, is exactly proportional in reality, to the SPEED you benefit from. These boosters/repeaters, can only give what they get - if your hub has no foil sheet reflector behind it, is at the far end of an obstacle course in your front room, and has a wall or two, dropping to ten MBps, don’t expect much. Slot this in where ‘ookla’ speed meter app, tells you you have maybe 15mbps let’s say, or more. And at the extremity of your domain, you may well need ‘proper’ extender units, with a ‘base unit’ that plugs in near your wifi hub, uses a LAN/ethernet cable - looks like a phone cable end but is not - and that cable, plugs the other end into your hub. This gets a wired (as opposed to wireLESS) signal nice and clean and not corrupted or degraded, into the base unit. That base unit then fires it along the mains cable (it is called carrier wave method, because the light network signal piggy-backs onto the mains sine wave electricity), and when received by the other paired wifi-emitting unit out in our case, in the shed, wifi appears nice and cleanly, as if the hub almost, were in our garden. So, booster/repeater vs extender, don’t get confused. Good luck, if in doubt, search for the instructions online, TP-Link’s website will let you grab them.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Easy to set up and solved broadband speed problem
I was struggling with broadband speeds on devices located at the opposite end of my flat from my newly installed Plusnet Hub 2 router. The RE200 solved my problem and increased the upload speed tenfold. I like that it has both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and the devices connecting will choose the optimal one. I live in a period property with thick walls and there have been no dropouts or issues so far. This is a nice cheap solution.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent piece of kit. Does exactly what it says.
Effortlessly linked to my Virgin Media router using WPS button. Then located it at top of staircase and linked it up to my laptop in the bedroom. So easy to set up and now I get very good WiFi reception anywhere in the house. Would highly recommend.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Blinking long password!
Very good extender. Works very well. Easy set up although I had to do it through the tether app from playstore. My biggest gripe is the password.... it's huge! Better sit down with a cuppa because it will take a long time to enter it, 64 characters long and I couldn't find a way to change it. But still worth it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Very poor product - I expected better from a tech company, the might of TP Link!
I bought two of the RE200 range extenders - neither of which work consistently as they both lost their connection to the host network internet connection with no reason although I was still able to connect to them directly! I used the Tether app to get everything set up and initially it worked, but within hours, they both disconnected from the host network at different intervals and despite all efforts, in some cases even rebooting several times, I was still unable to connect to the internet. I performed a firmware update to the latest versions and still the same result! Having then looked at further reviews/feedback - It appears this is a common issue...I only wish I had seen these first before making my purchase as it seems that numerous users have approached TP Link regarding this issue and it has never really been acknowledged or resolved! I would not recommend this product despite my previous trust in TP Link!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Excellent Product & Technical Support
Excellent product works perfectly. It produced a fully stable WiFi connection on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, and has removed the WiFi black spot in my home, which allows me to stream the HD content on the TV without any buffering now. I had not used a WiFi extender before and was a little unsure, I contacted TP-Link customer support by email, they replied very quickly in less than 24 hours and at 1am on New Years day, and gave me a step by step walk through and instructions on how to install and use their product and its Tether app. It is the most outstanding technical support I have ever had from a manufacturer. I recommend it without any reservations at all.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Easy to use and good price range extender.
TP-Link products have always worked well so I had no worry ordering this range extender. It was easy to set up and just works. It is discreet and looks good with indcator lights on the front. It has really helped get the internet coverage around my house up to a decent level.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
