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

The router with the Internet is installed in a neighboring apartment of a brick house. Weifai was barely caught, only close to the adjacent wall between the apartments. First, I tried to expand coverage using the existing second DIR-300 router in repeater mode. Wi-Fi coverage appeared in the second apartment, but the speed after the DIR-300 was simply meager (2-4 Mbit / s at a speed of the distributing router of 80 Mbit / s). On ebay I found this TP-link in a new state for a penny (300), I decided to try it. I didn’t really hope for success and then planned to take something more powerful from the repeaters, but this one did it perfectly well. I plugged it into an outlet in the second apartment on an adjacent wall (bearing brick wall 520 mm). I got excellent coverage in the entire second apartment and normal speed (30-40 Mbps). This is a series of 3 brick walls (2 x 150 mm and one 520 mm). It works stably, does not fall off and does not freeze for a week. The setup is elementary - in the presence of WPS - by pressing one button on the repeater and one button on the router. ALL! You can use. If for some reason WPS did not work, you can download the application for android from the market and configure it through it. The setup is also simple, select the Wi-Fi network that you want to strengthen from the list, enter the password for it and that's it, the device works. There are some human beings with a complete lack of a brain who stick a repeater right next to the router, into the same outlet and wait for a magical increase in the Wi-Fi coverage radius. And when this does not happen, they write negative reviews that nothing works. The signal amplifier should be placed at the edge of the coverage area of ​​the existing network. Only then will he be able to expand it further, where the antennas of the main router do not reach. If you stick it next to the router - it simply will not work.
