recently purchased the TP-Link RE330 AC1200 WiFi Extender, and it has significantly improved my home WiFi coverage. My main router struggled to provide a strong signal to some areas of my house, but the RE330 bridged that gap perfectly.Pros:1. Easy Setup: The installation process was straightforward, thanks to the TP-Link Tether app. It guided me step by step, and I had it running in less than 10 minutes.2. Reliable Performance: With dual-band support (2.4GHz and 5GHz), my devices connect seamlessly, and I’ve noticed fewer dropouts in areas where I used to struggle with signal strength.3. Speed: The extender handles streaming and general browsing well. I tested it with a 4K video stream, and the playback was smooth without buffering.4. Compact Design: It plugs directly into a wall socket, and its compact size means it doesn’t take up much space.5. Value for Money: Considering its features, it’s very reasonably priced compared to other extenders with similar specs.Cons:1. Limited Range Extension: While it works well for medium-sized homes, it might not be the best option if you’re trying to extend WiFi to a very distant or outdoor location.2. Ethernet Port Placement: The Ethernet port at the bottom could make it tricky to use depending on the wall socket placement.Overall, the TP-Link RE330 is an excellent budget-friendly solution for improving WiFi in dead zones. While it may not offer the most advanced features for tech enthusiasts, it’s perfect for everyday users looking for a simple and reliable way to enhance connectivity. Highly recommended for small to medium-sized home.

Very simple to operate and connect a booster signal to our main router. Works well and is stable.

Bought this on recommendation due to my EE router taking around 30 seconds to connect to the internet when my PC is booted up or wakes from sleep. The previous BT router connected straight away. This is a known problem with EE routers with no known fix. Just connect the Ethernet cable from the router to the switch and another Ethernet cable from the switch to the PC. Power it on and it worked straight away. The PC now connects to the internet immediately. I would have awarded it 5 stars but the supplied documentation re: installation is very poor. In fact, the image on the side of the box explaining how it works was clearer!

Such a small but powerful gadget. It’s steady, reliable, and does exactly what it promises. Installation was super easy completely DIY-friendly, no tech skills needed! 😄Connectivity has been seamless, and it’s made a noticeable difference in areas where the internet speed used to be poor now everything runs smoothly with no dropouts or buffering.Another bonus is the reset feature, which comes in handy if you ever need to start fresh or make changes, hassle-free.

This is to extend BT internet provider. It is ok, not brilliant than my BT610 extender which broke after 9 yrs. Instructions is a bit confusing as you can only conect to 5G which cover 2.6g and 5g (shown in their app, which you need to download. You can use browser, but it is slower. My old extender just did all without installing any unncessary app on my private mobile.As it is not BT, the connection is not stable, there will be times, it just die off, when I am playing games in so called dead zone. same floor, but divided by a shower room ie plasterboard walls.For this price, it is expensive and not value for money as I only use it for the dead zone for a hour or so. The question, I might as well, move to better zone to get normal zone, but out of my bed. I like to wake up and check my phone, but cannot, hence I bought this, but it is not stable. This was for my old tablet, ie samsung A6 tab.Modern phones ie samsung s25 ultra, do not need this extender and can pick up the BT signal with no issue and stable, so this extender is not brilliant.I would not recommend this for BT internet provider users, instead get a proper BT extender for better communication, stable and connection and is cheaper.

Bought this to solve WiFi signal problem in upper parts of the house. Easy to install - and it really has solved the problem. Cost effective and simple solution.
