Great little extender

Bought this because we started streaming Hulu Netflix and Prime in the bedroom but I couldn't connect my 5G band in the bedroom. The bedroom is upstairs in one corner of the house and my router is in the other corner downstairs in my office. I chose this brand because it is identical to my router. the web interface opened via IP. 5 minutes done. I plugged it back in in the upstairs playroom and now I'm getting 5 bars because my 5gb bam has been running for 2 months and I haven't had to touch…

Pros
  • World's #1 consumer Wi-Fi provider for 7 years running According to IDC report Q2 2018
Cons
  • High price

Internet is now available in a detached garage 50 feet from home

Following the "Quick setup via web browser" instructions in the packaging, the device was ready to use in 5 minutes. I used different SSIDs for the extender's network. I get 60 Mbps downloads when the extender is right next to the router (either through the router or through the extender); After taking the extender outside to an outlet under a covered patio (about 75 feet from the router), you stand next to the extender and still get 60 Mbps from the router and only 20 Mbps from the extender…

Pros
  • Free 2-year unlimited 24/7 industry-leading technical support; Universal compatibility Works with any router or access point 802. 11 a/b/g/n/ac
Cons
  • A few little things

Terrible customer service

Revain needs to add a no star review! Just verified that my phone is actually working after calling these guys TWICE for help with what appears to be a faulty extension cord and they keep telling me they can't hear me after waiting 15 minutes. The first time I used the button on the Revain product page to call back and the second time I contacted TP Link directly at 1-866-225-8139. The rep literally yells my name and still says he can't hear me, I walk away and walk away. I had to hang up…

Pros
  • Find the best spot to install with the smart signal indicator, easily extend your WiFi coverage with the press of a range extender button, set the power plan
Cons
  • unreliable
