TP-Link AC1750 Wi-Fi Range Extender Repeater (RE450) Setup and Review

[@omo7945]

Would be nice if you told us about what your internet speeds are with Ethernet cable directly connected to your computer

[@chas0001]

This was so easy to set up. I did it on my Tablet in about 3 minutes. All you have to do is connect to the TP-LINK wifi on your phone or tablet first.

[@FPSLarryIII]

Just bought this yesterday. Super easy setup. I was having some issues with WiFi speeds in the area I have my Xbox setup. I bought this and plugged an Ethernet cable right into it and the speed is significantly better. Almost as if I have it plugged into the actual router. Worth the money. Download speeds were improved by a mile. 👍🏾

Honestly was thinking of this. My wifi bad so I bought ac1750 still slow so in gonna buy the wire, hopefully it will go better

Have used this model for about 3 months. Can now use wifi in my garage (totally dead before) and can watch HD content in my family room and update devices via wifi) another total dead spot. Easy to set up. Only downside is it blocks both outlets.

[@dinocub1]

thought about getting a power bar? Then it wouldn't block both outlets.

[@cwgmz971]

I have brought the UK version of this and the setup is slightly different. I recommend setting this up using the TP - Link tether app as it's just simpler to set up that way. The complete setup took me around 20 mins. The speed to expect will be around 95% - 100% of the usual speed of your router depending on how many are on the network. When choosing a place to put the extender do it in an area where you still have around 4/5 bars of Wi-fi as the further you are the higher the speed penalty. The range for this is very good and is as advertised. I'm very happy with it.

[@ryanhedrick4424]

Important question: I live in a pretty rural area, the cutoff point for any WiFi service providers is 2 houses down (about 1000 ft away). I currently extend to their router with a crappy netgear extender and do get low speed connection most days, but still usable. Will this extender boost those results?

[@computerjantje]

not likely. The extender should be place closer to where you want tho good wifi but stil within good range of the wifi original router. Wifi strength is the same in about all equipment. So you just win the amount of meters that the extender is closer to your goal area while you had to place it inside a good working distance from your router. So in total you win about an extra half range in the direction you are hanging your extender. If the router range was 20 meters, you have to place the extender at about 12.5 meters from the router. From the extender you probably get about 20 meters again. This means a total of 12.5 + 20 meters from the orignal router.

[@Coltan999]

I used it as Acces point and it works great but you must check the new IP in your router or you cant get on it to do some software settings.

Hi, would you know if this extender supports WPA Enterprise security WiFi connections?

[@blankminded6]

I tried it today. In my case I think I would be better off just using a second router as an ap or as just the router. turn the isp router into just a modem and use an ethernet to connect a router to broadcast the wifi. I will be taking it back to the store!

Its not worth the money and made my internet slower and worse. The manager also said this unit is not compatible with fibre optics. That could have been my main problem. Most people wont know that.

Beware of TP-Link products. If the product fails within the warranty period you will be required to pay for shipping the defective item to them before they will send a replacement.

[@atanasdionisiev3031]

Usually you buy stuff like that from a tech store and they cover damages and replacements in the warranty period so no reason to worry

[@61JWolf]

@@atanasdionisiev3031 Most retail & online stores will allow you to return defective items within a specified time period. e.g. Walmart will accept returns for up to 90 days, Amazon will accept returns for up to 1 year. After the return period for a particular store has expired you will have to deal with the manufacturer. The TP-Link product that I purchased was warrantied by the manufacturer for 2 years. It failed after 18 months. To get a replacement, I would have to pay ~ 20% of purchase price to mail the defective item to them. Moreover, TP-Link will not replace the item with a brand new item. As stated in their warranty policy, the replacement will be a refurbished product without a warranty reset. A company's product warranty is their assurance that the product has fair value. Effectively, their promise to back up their product rings hollow.

[@atanasdionisiev3031]

@@61JWolf i guess here it comes the difference between US and Europe. In Europe the shop that sells a product will cover warranty issues if it is defective. I have to say that what you describe is so unfortunate and dishonest to the customer, having to deal with long response time and then also meet difficulties with replacing something obviously faulty. Some shops i kbow even have that 100 days (for example) open period where you can return a product with no explanation and get your money back. If it's bot damaged of course so they can resell it.

[@jamiefitzgibbon431]

HPESC International AB how?

[@Peter_Schayah]

When you log into it you will have that option to change the mode. You can toggle between extender and accesspoint. When you use it as an accesspoint you have to connect with a networkcable from the router to the tplink. When you do this, first connect it by the cable without mounting the cable so that you can test where it will give the best signal (probably somewhere in the middle of the house). Here where i live i have it mounted in a house next to my house (so the tplink is not even in my house) and i have full signal on my pc here wich here is what they say they deliver = around 250 Mbit/s. You will have the work to draw the cable but it is worth it. It gives me better signal than 3 mesh units together that i tried. With the 3 mesh units i got under 100 Mbit/s. However if you use the tplink as an extender then the result is not so good
