Review on WiFi signal amplifier (repeater) TP-LINK TL-WA854RE, white by Kiyoshi Sakade ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like it, thanks for the quality product.

In a place where the wifi signal is good (more than 3 bars), this repeater will only make it worse - it will reduce the speed. Where the signal is weak (less than 1 division), the repeater will increase the signal level (up to 3-4 divisions) and increase the speed, but will not give the maximum possible speed that the provider gives. Therefore, I had to set up an additional network in it so that it would not interfere with the main one.

Pros
  • 1. Beautiful design. No wires. You just need to plug it into an outlet. 2. Ease of setting up a connection to an existing network. 3. The function of amplifying the wifi signal exactly in the place where the weak signal performs.
Cons
  • 1. Cuts the speed by 30% in a place where the signal is good. That is, if in a place where the wifi signal is good, connect a computer to it, then the Internet speed will drop by 30%. 2. Price 1400. as of May 2022 appears to be overestimated. It is better to buy an analogue used. for 700-800.
