Customers Say
Easy to set up WiFi extender that improves coverage and speeds in most homes. Works well for streaming, gaming, and smart devices, though some users experienced initial setup issues or limited range in larger/multi-floor houses.

Worked very well eventually.
For the first fortnight, this barely worked at all. Connecting was difficult and staying connected was even harder. Just when we were considering asking for a refund, it started to work very well, and has performed perfectly now for about two months. Don't give up on it!

Good product
Bought recently as I also bought a new solar security camera, worked perfectly

Great Budget Wi-Fi Booster That Gets the Job Done
Great little device for the price. It was very easy to set up and instantly improved Wi-Fi coverage in rooms that previously had weak signal. Expect super-fast speeds, for browsing, streaming, and general use it works perfectly. A solid budget option if you need to get rid of dead zones.

works well
Great device works perfectly, no problems at all

Excellent coverage
Despite the best service provided by EE, I have a dead zone in my loft. A friend recommended this product which I reluctantly tried. The coverage has been exceptional.

Hi Dave,
The TL-WA850RE is a 2.4GHz-only device ā it does not have a 5GHz radio.
This means it will only be able to connect to and extend your router's 2.4GHz network.
If 5GHz support is important for your setup ā for example, for faster speeds or less interference ā you may want to consider a dual-band range extender such as the RE450 or RE330, both of which support both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
Thanks for using Q&A.
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 However, compatibility issues may arise with routers or gateways that use modified, outdated, or non-standard firmware.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/...

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
