Review on πŸ“‘ Powerful TP-Link AC1900 WiFi Extender: Boost Internet Range for 2800 Sq.ft and 35 Devices, 1900Mbps Dual Band Wireless Repeater with Gigabit Ethernet Port by Dre Bhatt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Total disaster

This WiFi extender is beyond useless. After turning it on, it works for about an hour with excellent speed on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Then the 5GHz band drops out and I have full bands but no internet connection. At this point, the 5 GHz LED on the extender is off. For some reason even my WiFi router shows a working 5GHz band. I don't have 5 GHz internet, only 2.4 GHz. I use the TP-Link app to disable 5GHz so it only works on 2.4GHz because I can live with that. Restart the router and I now have great speeds on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. baller Give it a few hours and the extender magically turned its 5GHz band back on and again I have no internet over 5GHz from my router. Unplug the extender, reboot the router and I've had perfect 2.4 and 5GHz WiFi for days. The best I can guess is that this is some kind of tech zombie that keeps coming back from the dead to destroy my 5GHz signal. It's time to destroy his brain and be done with it already.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
