Are you looking for a trusted way to extend your router’s Wi-Fi signal? You can install, configure and synchronize the Wi-Fi extenders with the Wi-Fi router in your home or office.

Conclusion
It is important to remember that placing is very crucial to the functioning of Wi-Fi extenders. The extenders should not be too far from the router so that they can catch the signals.
Placing can become a chore, that is why all TP-Link extenders come with a Smart Indicator light that helps you choose the right position.
Another thing to note is that the Wi-Fi Range Extenders are built to improve the Wi-Fi coverage in the home or office. They do not directly increase speed, this is dependent on the router.
A more powerful extender may be able to pick weak signals faster and better than a regular extender.
Lastly, always refer to the user manual before installation and use. TP-Link offers unlimited 24/7 technical support for two years after purchase.
If you experience any trouble with the installation, set up, or the device is malfunctioning, you can easily contact Customer Care for assistance.
