Review on πŸ“Ά Renewed TP-Link RE450 AC1750 WiFi Range Extender with High Speed Mode and Intelligent Signal Indicator by Chris Long

Revainrating 4 out of 5

.install could be easier.

. The initial installation was a problem. At first I thought it was working fine, but then it drops the connection and reboots every 30 seconds. I'm a decent 'techie' and have tried several times to reconfigure using the 'Quick Setup Guide' which had 2 'Quick and Easy' versions. I've tried both without success. I was about to repack and return when I decided to investigate the 2.4GHz vs 5GHz issue as only the 5GHz light was on. I went into our new modem/router setup and found that I had to turn on Wi-Fi on both devices and set it to 2.4GHz (something I wouldn't recommend for a newbie!). since only the latest devices accept 5 GHz (Kindle Fire devices are not supported!). It was the solution. It shouldn't have been that hard and the tp-link device should have had extended instructions to show this problem. I do my best to describe my problem and solution to help others who may have the same connection problems. Now - it works perfectly!

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Volume
