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.

A great Item
A great item boosting my internet.

Easy set up PROVIDED you follow the instructions
I wasn’t sure if this would improve the house WiFi signal to the far reaches of a cottage with 2 ft thick walls but it did and it does. Much improved signal now in all rooms. The set up as described appears over complicated but follow it step by step and it works. It took literally 4 minutes to set up which felt far too easy but if even a technophobe like me can get it to work then anyone can. I could have ordered this from an online supplier but if it didn’t work I wanted to be able to return it without the postage hassle. All good so far, I would recommend!

Hello there,
TP-Link TL-WA850RE 300Mbps Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender:
It will work for gaming in the sense that it can connect your console or network setup but it's not the best choice for fast-paced shooter games.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello there,
TP-Link TL-WA850RE 300Mbps Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender.
The item operates on a single 2.4GHz wireless band, which helps its signal pass through interior walls more effectively than 5GHz bands, though it caps maximum theoretical speeds at 300Mbps.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello there,
No, the TP-Link TL-WA850RE 300Mbps Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender does not have to stay plugged in directly next to your router permanently, but you do need to plug it near the router during the very first 2-minute setup.
Thanks for using Q&A.
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.

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
