TP-Link AC750 Wifi Range Extender | Up to 750Mbps | Dual Band WiFi Extender, Repeater, Wifi Signal Booster, Access Point| Easy Set-Up | Extends…

I recently purchased the TP-Link AC750 WiFi Range Extender, and I must say, it has made a significant difference in my home network. Here’s my review:

Performance (4/5):
The AC750 range extender effectively expanded the coverage of my WiFi network. I noticed a noticeable improvement in signal strength and stability in areas of my home that previously had weak or no coverage. It handled multiple devices simultaneously, including streaming and online gaming, without any major hiccups. However, the range may not be sufficient for very large homes or outdoor areas.

Easy Setup (5/5):
Setting up the extender was a breeze. TP-Link provides clear, step-by-step instructions, and the mobile app made the process even more straightforward. Within minutes, I had it up and running.

Compact Design (4/5):
The compact design of the extender allows it to plug into any electrical outlet without obstructing adjacent sockets. It blends well with the surroundings and doesn’t draw unnecessary attention.

Dual-Band Functionality (4/5):
The dual-band capability was a significant advantage. It allowed me to connect devices to the 5GHz band for faster speeds, while older devices could still connect to the 2.4GHz band. This versatility was a definite plus.

Reliability (4/5):
The range extender worked reliably most of the time. Occasionally, there were some minor signal drops or the need to reset the extender, but overall, it offered a substantial improvement in network stability.

Price (5/5):
The TP-Link AC750 offers great value for the price. It’s an affordable solution for improving WiFi coverage without breaking the bank.

In conclusion, the TP-Link AC750 WiFi Range Extender is a reliable and budget-friendly solution for improving WiFi coverage in a typical household. While it may not be suitable for large homes or complex network setups, it does an excellent job for the average user. If you need a simple and effective way to extend your WiFi signal, this extender is worth considering.

La dueña a la que le rento un departamento tiene un modem izzi con un plan de (me parece) 50 mbps, de donde nos comparte el internet. Ella se encuentra un piso abajo de mí aunque el suelo que nos separa es algo grueso, y en realidad parece que yo estoy a 1.5 o 2 pisos arriba del modem. Mi novia y yo vivimos juntos y trabajamos de Home Office.

Antes tenía un extensor tenda A9 de $330, pero solo me llegaban unos 10 mbps o máximo 14 segun fast.com. Pero peor que eso: solia irse el internet tanto a mí novia que está directamente arriba del modem y al lado de nuestro extensor tenda, y especialmente a mí que estoy en otra habitación con la puerta cerrada.

Así que compré este TP Link RE450 por sus buenas reseñas, a $960.

La configuración fue rápida; solo lo conectas, bajas la app en android/ios, te haces una cuenta de tp link (yo ya la tenía porque tengo una cámara de seguridad tapo) y escaneas el extensor, a partir de ahí te pregunta que red 2.4 y/o 5 es la que quieres extender (el mismo dispositivo puede extender las dos) y te pide las contraseñas. A partir de entonces te apareceran tus redes 2.4 y 5 con el sufijo “Ext”, pudiendo modificar el nombre si asi lo deseas. La contraseña es la del modem, no sé si la pueda modificar y de todos modos no tengo problema con eso.

Lo importante es que de momento si ha estado funcionando para lo que quería. Ahora Fast.com me dice que recibo una señal de entre 40 y 50mbps, y el test de velocidad de ookla dice que entre 34mbps y 45mbps.

Incluso más que la velocidad, yo valoro la estabilidad de la señal. El internet simplemente ya no “se va” y las páginas de internet cargan casi al instante.

Lo curioso y milagroso es que el extensor logicamente lo puse en mi departamento, justo donde estaba el extensor viejo y justo arriba de donde está el modem de la señora en el piso de abajo. Con esta misma configuración no nos funcionaba el internet antes, sin embargo al Tp Link parece no importarle nada de esto y recibe y extiende muy bien la señal. De hecho la app y mi pc dicen que la calidad es óptima.
En otras palabras, en la misma ubicación (muy lejana al modem), este extensor recibe mejor la señal que el extensor viejo, y que cualquier dispositivo pc/celular.

Lo único malo que encuentro en mi entorno es que al parecer el modem si que está demasiado lejos para usar la red 5ghz. Aunque está configurada y visible, cuando me conecto a la red 5 extendida, obtengo velocidades en fast.com de tan solo 20-30. Esto porque como es bien sabido, la red 5 no se comporta tan bien con obstaculos y la distancia al modem. de hecho la app de tp link me dice que la señal es debil

Aunque según lo que investigué, el punto de las redes 5ghz es solamente que pueden trasmitir velocidades super altas, arriba de 300mbps incluso. Para mis humildes 50 mbps, ambas versiones, la 2.4 y la 5 los manejan igual de bien, salvo que la 2.4 tiene más alcance asi que es simplemente mejor, incluso si no tuviera el inconveniente de mi distancia al modem. Pero si fuera el caso de que necesitara la red 5, sin duda estaria decepcionado.

I have a range issue in the second floor as the main modem/WiFi router is installed in the first floor. This solved the issue practically but here is what you need to know if you haven’t tried such solution yet:

1. It’s amazingly easy to set up.
2. It can work either as an extender or as an access point.
3. Here is the caveat: if you deploy this as an extender, don’t expect that you can get the same SSID as the router. The extender will as _EXT suffix to the original SSID. This is not a great problem BUT you will need to setup all your devices for a new “access point” because of this change (added extension). Also, they have documented that if they are using this extender along with TP Link’s mesh router, it will be the same SSID all around and devices will latch to the strongest node seamlessly.
4. It comes with Indian-type three-pin plug (this is bought in India) integral to the extender body. This is a convenient design but I expected a DC power input as well. Unfortunately it doesn’t have one. So it is not possible to power it from a router UPS (inexpensive solution to power such a device). In my case the main router is UPS powered and so if there is a power outage, extender will become unavailable even when there is connectivity and the main router is running.
5. Signal strength or range was not specified in any documentation and I would give only 4/5 stars for this. As I get only 2-3 bars in the strength indicator, across a wall while I see the main router signal from the floor below is stronger. It may be designed so, for a mesh network and it may be adequate for that.

Overall I would recommend this to extend WiFi range because of setting up was simple and it really works.

Easy to install. My download speed of 5G increased from 3.8 Mbps to 94.49 Mbps. 2 walls blocked the signal earlier. The 3.8 was through a small corridor. The extender placed at a strategic point helped amplify the signal. I have cancelled my second broadband connection as a result of the benefit I get from the extender.

I am also blessed to receive the advice of an honest and hardworking network engineer of a service provider who told me to go in for an extender.

Went through 3 other brands with good reviews for a better price and the all failed in less than 2 months. Finally went with a trusted name and very happy. Setup was fairly easy and great improvement on speed with a 2 story house and upstairs router. Get this and you will be happy
