TP Link WiFi extender works great
Purchased this as the upstairs TV wouldn't connect to the Internet. Really easy to set up using the WPS button and connects brilliantly. One thing to note the Blue light is bright and I've managed to hide the extender behind a chest of drawers so we can sleep undisturbed.

Great connectivity boost
It works really well and has definitely improved my call quality on Teams and Zoom. No problems with streaming in certain areas of the house anymore either.

Hi,
Yes, the TL-WA850RE is broadly compatible with most standard Wi-Fi routers, including both TP-Link and non-TP-Link models like your Plusnet router. However, compatibility issues may arise with routers or gateways that use modified, outdated, or non-standard firmware. As long as your Plusnet router is using standard Wi-Fi protocols, the TL-WA850RE should work without any issues to extend your fibre broadband Wi-Fi coverage.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello Suesue3030,
The TP-Link TL-WA850RE 300Mbps Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender signal strength will vary from household to household.
A set up video is available on the items media library on the website.
Thank you for using Q and A.
Hi,
You can use two extenders together in a single network. To ensure optimal network quality, it is recommended to connect both extenders directly to the host router's Wi-Fi network instead of connecting one extender to another. Assign a different Wi-Fi name to the first extender so you can separate its Wi-Fi from your router's. The setup process for adding a second extender is the same as for the first one.
If both the router and the extenders support the EasyMesh feature, you can follow the instructions provided in this link: https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/3582/...
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi Chris,
TP-Link Range Extenders are broadly compatible with most standard Wi-Fi routers, including both TP-Link and non-TP-Link models like TalkTalk routers. However, please note that compatibility issues may arise with routers or gateways that use modified, outdated, or non-standard firmware. As long as your TalkTalk router uses standard Wi-Fi protocols and has up-to-date firmware, the TP-Link Range Extender should work without any problems to extend your Wi-Fi coverage.
Thanks for using Q&A.

Hello,
Yes, the TP-Link TL-WA850RE is universally compatible and will work with your BT full fibre 150 setup. However, its technical specifications will limit the potential speed you can achieve.
Compatibility
The TP-Link TL-WA850RE is designed to be a universal Wi-Fi range extender, working with virtually any Wi-Fi router or wireless access point, including the BT Hub provided with your Full Fibre 150 service.
Connectivity: Connection can be established easily using the WPS button on both the extender and your BT Hub.
Wired Option: The extender also features a single Ethernet port, allowing you to connect a wired device (like a gaming console or TV) to your network.
Potential Issue: In some cases with older BT Hubs, users have reported issues with the "Smart Setup" feature needing to be turned off in the hub manager for a seamless connection.
Have a nice day!
Hi Richard,
The extender can connect to and extend a phone's mobile hotspot Wi-Fi. The setup process for connecting to a mobile hotspot Wi-Fi is the same as connecting to a router. However, some hotspot Wi-Fi may not be stable as phones are not specially made for sharing Wi-Fi. Moving the phone's position frequently may also influence the extender's connection.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello Barnetman,
TP-Link TL-WA850RE 300Mbps Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender
As this device extends Wi-Fi signal, it isn't connected to the router using an ethernet cable. To connect it to your router, plug it into a mains socket near to your router, connect the device, then move the device and plug it in at the desired location.
Thanks for using Q&A
Hi,
The TL-WA850RE only supports 2.4G WiFi. If your router also supports 2.4G, and the 2.4G and 5G networks are separate, then this range extender can extend your router network.
Thanks for using Q&A.
