Vast Improvement for Dead spots
One area in my house had a very poor wifi strength. To connect to this device, using the WPS button on router and WPS button on extender at the same time flawlessly connected. Start next to your router then move extender to the dead area.WoW! Download speed went from 20Mbps to a whopping 76Mbps. Night and Day. Movies, videos etc. YEA!I did have a bit of a learning curve my fault. You must open your settings on whatever device you use and select the (your network name with an EXT added on. That is the Tplink device. Choose it and you are good to go.I am enormously impressed with the product.

Good for cable boxes where coaxial outlet not available or has a weak signal
I had an old 2.4 Ghz wi-fi extender that I tried to use (with a network cable) when my coaxial outlet had a weak signal because of the 100'+ amount of cabling used for a kitchen TV on the other side of the house. It had spotty reception, apparently because the 2.4 Ghz bandwidth just couldn't handle the amount of data required, combined with the microwave causing interference when in use (they both operate on the same bandwidth). Bought this dual band wi-fi extender because it offered 5Ghz, which solved both problems. Much cheaper than renting wireless boxes from the cable company, buying a new router, or buying a mesh network.

Not compatible with most routers, unless they are Archer brand
I'm changing my review from one star to four, after two evenings of fighting with this thing, and finally getting it to work.First off, the app is rather useless, unless you have a TP-Link or Archer brand router (according to the chat support and list of compatibility devices). The help chat sessions are not very good either. WPS connection kept failing, over and over, despite my attempts to log into my router and edit settings. I couldn't find anything that would be preventing proper connection, but I kept getting a red light on my router's WPS connection (by the button), indicating a time-out or failed connection, that was pending, so here's what I had to do.First, I connected TP-Link AC1200 range extender to my router, via Ethernet cable. Somehow, during this process, mashing the WPS buttons, and attempts at linking the two yielded a new network appeared, called xxxxxxxx_EXT, where xxxxxxxx was the name of my original WiFi network. The WiFi light indicator on the TP-Link AC1200 was lit, and solid, but it had done this, prior, even while I was trying to connect via WPS, yet the router said it was pending, with a red light (meaning it failed or timed-out).Maybe it let me connect via WPS when the Ethernet cable was connected; I don't really think so, but maybe(?) I think this was just a biproduct of connecting them, though. I didn't get any prompt or alert or chime or anything, I just noticed the new network was available. Whatever, but it bothered me, not knowing what actually happened.However it worked, I then connected my PC to the new WiFi network, and went to the TP-Link website, from the instructions (tplinkwifi.net?), which I also found from a Grok AI query, when I was trying to get help. ***You definitely have to go to this page after connecting to the extender's network, then create a password and confirm it*** I do remember it asking me if I wanted to allow other devices on the original network to connect to the new network, which I agreed to, as some of my devices need automatic network recognition, like smart home devices and Google Home mini. I just made the passwords match, for ease of use.Once I had confirmed that was working, I changed my PC back to the original WiFi network, and unplugged the Ethernet cable, unplugged the TP-Link AC1200 extender, and moved it to a mid-way point, then plugged it back in and waited for the WiFi light to appear solid. I then connected the other devices to this new network, and lo and behold, they had much better signal strength!It only took two nightly sessions of fighting with it.So basically, the app is useless, for most people, and WPS might not work for you, but you can link the device to your router and magic might happen (?). Fine, I'll take the win, even if I don't get it. BTW, I was an internal help desk IT senior agent for a big tech corporation, not a weekend warrior. I still don't know what actually solved this. 🤷 -But it's working, quite well, now. I guess it's a win, for the price.

Great extender that's a breeze to use
It was easy to set up. The app interface was very pleasing and intuitive. I was able to create a separate wifi login for 2.4 and 5ghz which solved the problem I had as I needed to be sure to use 2.4ghz for another device I had purchased. Signal quality between it and the router and it and the device are superb. I didn't purchase it with this in mind but was pleased to see that when I placed it in the socket it matched the wall well enough that it pretty much blends in and is out of sight. Great product at a reasonable price.

Highly affordable extender, and works with AT&T Fiber Network. :D
TP-Link AC1200 WiFi Extender, 2024 Wirecutter has been a blessing in disguise for giving me consistently fast speeds at around 95 to 100 mbps. It works with my AT&T Fiber to connect to our nearby Modem for starts. It was a simple plug and play near my Laptop where I can do a direct Ethernet cable connect to it, and to my laptop or simply use it as a WiFi 5 access extender.This extender is well-built, affordable, and the reason why I went to this was because AT&T recently had an update on their Gateway which null and voided an extender I owned for 3 years which sucks, but this came to the rescue! I was very happy that it's VERY reasonable in price, and gets a perfect connection every time 40 seconds to 1 minute time.Once you have it installed, I would suggest going to Google and doing a search by typing in "Speed Test" and go to the general speed test option, or click on Ookla. They both work very well, and give you very accurate numbers.
