Brilliant for extending WiFi. Wished I had discovered these sooner rather than paying provider to guarantee room coverage. Easy to set up and work better than previous providers booster boxes.

Great for security
Was great for extending my WiFi to connect to my outdoor security camera
Dumply, 65 or over
Good for the money, but not fantastic.
Instructions give you details about down loading the App and setting up an account, but the easiest way is to use the WPS button on the base unit. Also, the extender doesn’t create a seamless extended network, it creates a new extension network, fine for my use, but maybe not for everyone?

Hello There.
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for TP-Link TL-WA850RE 300Mbps Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender.
Yes, the TP-Link TL-WA850RE Range Extender can work with the TP-LINK M7010 4G LTE Mobile WiFi unit. TP-Link range extenders are broadly compatible with most standard Wi-Fi routers and access points, including both TP-Link and non-TP-Link models. As long as your M7010 is broadcasting a standard Wi-Fi signal (802.11b/g/n/ac/ax), the extender should be able to connect to it and help extend its coverage.
To set up, plug in your TL-WA850RE near the M7010, connect to its Wi-Fi network, and follow the extender’s setup instructions. If your M7010 uses an open or hidden Wi-Fi network, the extender can also connect to it. If you encounter any issues during setup, please reply to this email and our customer service team will get back to you.
Thank you for using Q & A.
Hi Tony,
We recommend that the distance between the range extender and the rourter should be approximately 8 to 10 meters.
By the way, this range extender can only be used indoors.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello Sharon,
Thanks for getting in touch with us, the "TP-Link TL-WA850RE 300Mbps Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender" will work with any internet provider you may have in the UK.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello Tommo,
The supplier has advised the following for the TP-Link TL-WA850RE 300Mbps Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender:
"Yes, the TP-Link range extender is broadly compatible with most standard Wi-Fi routers, including those from other brands like EE. As long as your EE mini hub broadcasts a standard Wi-Fi network (using protocols such as 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax), the TL-WA850RE should be able to connect and extend its Wi-Fi signal. Please note, compatibility issues may arise only if the router uses modified, outdated, or non-standard firmware, but this is uncommon for most consumer routers.
If your EE mini hub uses an open Wi-Fi network (no password) or a hidden Wi-Fi network, the TP-Link extender also supports connecting to these types of networks."
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hi,
TL-WA850RE does not come with the power lead. It is directly plugged into the power outlet.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi Dave,
The TL-WA850RE is a 2.4GHz-only device — 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 — for example, for faster speeds or less interference — 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/...
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.
