About this product
Banish Wi-Fi dead zones with the TP-Link TL-WA850RE 300Mbps Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender, designed to strengthen and expand your existing router's signal into areas it can't reach on its own. This compact range extender connects wirelessly to your router, delivering reliable coverage throughout your home or office at speeds up to 300Mbps on the 2.4GHz band. Setup is refreshingly straightforward thanks to WPS - just press the button on your router and the Range Extender button on the 850RE within 2 minutes, and you're connected without any complicated configuration.
The single Ethernet port adds extra versatility, letting the extender work as a wireless adapter for wired devices like Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, DVRs and Internet TVs, so you can bring wireless connectivity to equipment that doesn't have built-in Wi-Fi. It reduces signal interference to keep your connection stable and consistent, whether you're streaming video, browsing or working from home. The plug-and-play design means you can position it wherever you need coverage most, making it ideal for reaching those tricky spots where your router's signal just doesn't quite make.

No Connection
Did not connect to my router so will be returning to Argos
Brian, 65 or over
Happy so far
Only had it a week. Used to extend the house wifi to the garden. Our cctv camera is wifi powered and would not be detected from the house router so this product extends the wifi allowing detection. The extender gives wifi to the camera but it can vary. Sometimes it only gives 3 bars out of 5, other times we can get the full 5 bars, but either way it still serves its purpose for our needs

Fair deal for the cost
Not as good coverage as I was expecting. Setup was straightforward. There are fluctuations in signal strength.

Hello John,
Yes, this setup will work, but you need to flip your wiring plan backward for it to work correctly.
The TP-Link TL-WA850RE Range Extender does feature a built-in Ethernet port.
Thank you for using Q&A.

Thanks for using Q&A
Hello Mags,
The supplier has advised the following for the TP-Link TL-WA850RE 300Mbps Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender:
The TL-WA850RE supports Range Extender Mode, which allows it to connect to your mobile hotspot's Wi-Fi signal and extend the Wi-Fi coverage of your mobile hotspot.
• 2.4GHz only: This device only supports the 2.4GHz band (Wi-Fi 4, up to 300 Mbps). Please ensure your mobile hotspot broadcasts a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network for the extender to connect to.
• Recommended placement distance: For best performance, the extender should be placed within approximately 5 meters of your mobile hotspot, with no more than one wall or obstruction in between. In a static caravan, this should generally be easy to achieve.
• Usage level: The TL-WA850RE is recommended for basic usage, such as web browsing, social media, and standard video calls - which is typically well-suited for caravan use.
• Plug-in design: It plugs directly into a wall socket, so you'll need a standard power outlet available in your caravan.
Overall, the TL-WA850RE is a practical and straightforward option for extending your mobile hotspot's Wi-Fi coverage inside a static caravan, provided your usage needs are basic and the hotspot supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
Thanks for using Q&A

Hi,
TP-Link extenders work with any Wi-Fi-enabled device (phones, laptops, IoT devices, etc.) that supports standard Wi-Fi protocols (802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax).
To ensure perfect performance, it is recommended that the distance between the router and the Range Extender be limited to 8 meters, and the distance between the Range Extender and the end device be approximately 8 meters.
Thanks for using Q&A.
