Review on Wi-Fi signal amplifier (repeater) TP-LINK RE220, white by Wiktor Wnkowicz ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

My money wasted, product is terrible.

First impression: I bought it in order to bring the signal from the router to the back room. I plugged it into an outlet, where the signal was rather weak (2 sticks), the repeater caught it, amplified it and distributed it around itself. So that there is only one wifi network in the house, when setting up the repeater, simply name the new network the same as the main network is called. According to the comments - I periodically notice on the phone that when the main network becomes far away, it still sometimes fails in LTE and only then picks up the repeater network. Not critical, but I would like to do without it. And another important point: if calls via wifi are activated on your phone, then if you go from room to room during a conversation, then while the phone changes the network, the interlocutor will disappear. I think that for the money (less than 2 thousand) this is an excellent solution. But I, taking into account the listed roughnesses, would be better off paying more so that everything works perfectly. after two weeks of use: The main Keenetic router did not make friends with the repeater. Devices go crazy, switching from router to repeater and back, depending on how far the network reaches. As a result, moving around the apartment, the phone loses the network all the time. In addition, now every day the repeater periodically loses the network, which is briefly treated by rebooting. In general, money down the drain. I bought a second Keenetic router to organize a normal mesh system - now everything is perfect. Remember that the miser pays twice.

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • It may be suitable as a repeater for the main tp-link router, but if the main router is from another company, I highly do not recommend taking it. See the second part of the comment
