Review on 🚀 TP-Link RE200 Wifi Extender | AC750 Dual Band Wifi Range Extender | Up to 750Mbps | Wifi Signal Booster, Repeater, Access Point | Easy Set-Up | Extends Wifi to Smart Home & Alexa Devices by Micha R-m ᠌

My 2.4GHz/5GHz router is in one room and I am in another. When watching high-definition video on a smartphone or tablet, playback delays very often occurred. In order to amplify the signal in the second room, this device was purchased. Also important was the ability of the amplifier to support a signal at 5 GHz (higher data rate). To get into the settings menu for the amplifier, I had to first connect it in the immediate vicinity of the router and then determine the IP address via DHCP, which, of course, turned out to be different than that indicated in the user manual. I activated the 5 GHz option in the amplifier menu and then I was bewildered. The device can only work in two modes. In the first mode, the amplifier communicates with the router at a frequency of 5 GHz, and with the end device at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. In the second mode, the opposite is true: communication with the router is maintained at a frequency of 2.4 GHz, and with the end device - at 5 GHz. After conducting field tests, I settled on the second version of the connection, because. the amplifier is located near the router and the frequency of 2.4 GHz should be enough, but the signal forwarding to another room is already kept at 5 GHz. According to the test results in the second room (behind a reinforced concrete wall in a typical panel high-rise building), I received a stable signal at a frequency of 5 GHz, although not the highest power (~ 60%). However, a miracle happened. When watching movies or videos in the highest quality, the delays disappeared. For example, on YouTube, the so-called "swapping" has disappeared, when, when playing a video, a stop suddenly appears and a spinning wheel for loading material appears. In short, the amplifier coped with the problem. I note that the case of the device during operation heats up enough. By itself, of course, not to the level of the appearance of the smell of plastic. Well, when using the device in a splitter, it touches other connected plugs with its body.
