Review on Enhance Your Wi-Fi Range with TP-Link N300 Range Extender (TL-WA850RE) by Stanislaw Kisiel ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The quality is fine, it's fine to use.

In general, this device is worth its 1.5 k. But do not expect that it will give something more than what it costs. I read reviews before buying, but still not completely satisfied with the result. Different pros: Ease of settings (even if WPS did not work, but it did not work for me) There is an application in the AppStore, from which you can also control the device Without wires, the case-monoblock is inserted directly into the socket Nice design Does not make any sounds (beeping), the indicator light is unobtrusive. Different cons: Cuts speed, and decently. Despite the fact that it is 4 meters from the router, around the corner of a concrete wall. Speedtest shows when connected to a router: ping 3 ms, reception 77.85 mbs, return 38.90 mbs. When connected to a repeater: ping 17 ms, receive 292022 mbs, return 35.83 mbs. Bad moment. I thought that maybe the problem is in the old firmware. Decided to ate. And then began dancing with a tambourine. The device does not ate itself. And it cannot be ated by simply pressing the "ate" key in the settings, as I do to ate the firmware of the Azus router. You need to go to tplinkrepeater. Net in the browser, log in, download the firmware file from the manufacturer's website, and upload this file in the "software ate" section. It's uncomfortable to say the least, but okay. I drive the address into the browser of the computer, I try to go. It gives an error saying that you are not connected to the repeater, apparently you are connected to the router. I check, no, everything is fine, I'm connected to a repeater. Still an error. I've tried other browsers, same thing. For the sake of interest, I try to go through the same address from the browser on the iPhone - bingo, I'm on the settings page, I log in, I'm inside. How can I download the firmware file on my iPhone? I thought for a minute, found a way out: I went to the site from the phone, downloaded the firmware, saved it to Google drive. And from the disk I loaded the file into the ate section, that's it, the repeater has been ated. But speed cuts everything too. Nothing changed.
