Review on πŸ“Ά Enhance and Expand Your Network with TP-Link AV600 Powerline WiFi Extender and WiFi Booster (TL-WPA4220 KIT) by Andrey Georgiev Popo ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The average product, you can find a better one.

Clone Wi-Fi and avoid running wires around your residence with this clever design. Unfortunately, the actual execution fell short. Wired connections can be acceptable, but they require daily plugging into an electrical outlet or risk losing network connectivity. Although it's simple to duplicate the settings, Wi-Fi is notoriously unreliable. Dual SSID networks appear in the house. Since there is just one network, the phone or tablet will automatically establish a connection with the nearest access point. That sounded like a fantastic plan. Even if you move around the apartment a lot, as long as you use the same network and password, your phone will always connect to the one you want. However, either TP-Link is flawed or it does not play well with the Netgear router. For four minutes after connecting to the router, your phone will not be able to connect to Wi-Fi in any other room where TP-Link is in use. When connected, it only functions sometimes. So, I stick to the tried-and-true "wired" methods. Disabling wireless range extender.

Pros
  • Easily arranged. The apartment is wire-free.
Cons
  • The network drops out daily, and wi-fi has bugs. The indicator light flashes constantly while connected to Wi-Fi.
