Great value for the money, definitely recommended!

Bought version 3. The device really works, but it is limited to one frequency range, which is not bad at allcomnsidering the speed of 300 megabits. Made a general review and test at the place of the intended installation. By and large, the device lived up to expectations.

Pros
  • + Easy to set up + Not a scary design + Relatively stable. + Convenient indicators (the one that is responsible for the Internet lights up blue if everything is fine, red if the signal is there but weak and does not light up if there is no connection).
Cons
  • -Only 2.4GHz - Antennas do not rotate 360 ​​degrees, you can accidentally break off. -After a couple of weeks when cloning the network, the devices began to behave somehow strangely - it felt like they were constantly reconnecting, I had to allocate a separate name for the network and it got better. Perhaps this is due to the ate to the latest firmware version, to which the traffic processing function has been added (such as filtering the wrong one). I think to roll back to June, it was stable for 2 weeks in clone mode.

The best thing I've ever used, I recommend it to everyone!

Take a look at the cute "muzzle" of the device and immediately fall in love with it! And in the process of exploitation, your love will only increase. Works flawlessly, sleeps on schedule. The speed keeps at the level of the main router.

Pros
  • Great repeater! I recommend it to those who have a long apartment and do not have a modern 5GHz router. It worked for me for more than a year, but today it turned out from the logs that in connection with the purchase of a more modern two-channel router, everyone in the apartment moved to 5GHz and the repeater lost its relevance.
Cons
  • Everything is fine

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

For everything to work to the maximum, you need to connect to the router as just an access point connecting devices via an Ehternet cable) Different pros: I bought it as a repeater to expand coverage DIR-825 / B1 at 2.4 GHz) copes with its function. Cons: Those who connect the repeater point via WPS will have problems with the data transfer rate both on the access point and on the repeater) all because there will be a continuous fight for the communication channel between the router, repeater…

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

I use it as a repeater to transfer from WiFi from a router to a network cable. So that the cable does not drag around the apartment. For some reason, the WiFi card in the computer did not give more than 30 mb / s. And then 70 - 80 .

I like everything, the price and quality are acceptable.

A couple of days later I noticed that the understudy network was gone and I was connected to the same network throughout the apartment - convenient With its pros: Does his job. In the room where it didn’t catch at all - the Internet appeared with one BUT Has some cons: Yes, the network appeared but with a limited speed, regardless of how the repeater is connected to the WIFI network

Good value for money, I recommend.

I connected the repeater via WiFi - I got a rather noticeable lag in video conferences, keep in mind. Threw Ethernet to it - and everything works OK. Everything else works fine without wires. Pros below: Easy to set up, you can have brains like bread - you'll figure it out anyway Reception normal Cons below: Delays in Zoom and some other web conferencing services when connecting through a repeater In general, there is no functionality, although in fact it is a small router) Acceptance is ok…

Terrible quality, disappointed with the purchase.

The router is in direct line of sight for the repeater, the rate is 500 Mbps, when connected to the main router, the speed is excellent, when connected to the repeater, it's just tin. Look at the screenshots and everything will become clear.

Pros
  • Convenient setup app
Cons
  • Connection quality is terrible Slow Ethernet port

How could such a bad product be made?

Has pros: Unable to connect to router. I took for 1250, and in May 2022. in the "Amazon" Has some cons: So I couldn't connect to the router. The technical support service helped, but alas, they could not connect. It's a pity.

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

As I understand it, you need to look for balance when using this amplifier, because. it cuts the speed itself. That is, if in your back room the network catches 20-30 percent of the original signal, then there is not much sense from it. It will amplify the signal, but at the same time it will cut the speed. As a result, we get the same. The real benefit is felt when the signal is almost non-existent or very, very weak.

Pros
  • It's just set up - the router of the same company is their application where everything is clear.
Cons
  • Does not add speed where there was a weak signal. See comments

There was a problem - in a large apartment, wi-fi did not finish from one corner of the apartment to another. There are 3 load-bearing walls between the corners. I bought a powerful router Asus RT87U (Zyxel Keenetic Giga 2 was standing), the situation was not corrected. I bought an Asus RPN12 repeater for it, the coverage did not increase, despite the fact that the repeater was exactly between the router and the receiving device. Even the original signal from the router worked more stable. In…

Pros
  • - easy setup via WPS - signal stability - transmission speed - coating

Overall it's not bad, but I expected more.

In general, I felt the difference without a device in a certain room, the signal almost did not reach, with the amplifier it became much better, but there are interruptions or interruptions in work, which I have not yet understood, either with the Wi-Fi signal or with the amplifier itself, for its price it will certainly go . It only remains to figure out what the problem is . probably in the router, because in a private house in the basement there is even Wi-Fi (the amplifier is on the…

Pros
  • The price is completely normal for the device.
Cons
  • It shines very brightly, at night you have to either unplug it from the outlet or cover the two blue lights with something, and sometimes there are interruptions.

For two days I was looking for a solution to the problem, planning to meet ten thousand. I bought this model in between times, not really hoping for a result. But. the reality turned out to be better than expected. There is now a full antenna all over the first floor and on the street, instead of one or two divisions. Hurrah, comrades! The joke was a success, and now the problem with the Internet is solved. Fast, easy and very cost effective.

Pros
  • Ease of problem solving. I thought for two days, and then for two minutes . I plugged it into the socket, poked it into the router and onto the retriever, and Oh, Miracle! The Internet has risen like a Phoenix from the ashes. A full antenna pierced through the thick brick wall into the street.
Cons
  • Didn't find it.

The lazy one always pays double the rate! So is the case with the TL-WA855RE. An attempt to set up a wi-fi network in the house was unsuccessful. The main router is from the top ones, the signal strength in the area of ​​\u200b\u200binstallation of the repeater with a margin. But neither the settings nor the correct location of the repeaters affect the essence of their work: glitches, glitches, glitches. As a result, all were replaced by access points of the same manufacturer. Problems as hand…

Pros
  • Appearance, compactness.
Cons
  • Almost useless device. Constant loss of signal from the main router, glitches when installing several TL-WA855RE devices on the network.

A little disappointed, a bad purchase.

For 7 months it worked normally as a repeater, then it began to hang every 2-3 days. the network is visible but it will not connect, the password does not match, sometimes even the network (done with a different name) disappears. the problem is solved by juggling from the outlet, but only again for a couple of days. terribly unreliable model I will take it under warranty, I hope they will change

Pros
  • Design Range is good applications on IOS and Android (although it doesn’t make much sense)
Cons
  • after 7 months hangs every couple of days cuts ping from 3ms to 25-30
