My mother has no idea what wi-fi is. It was terrible going to her house to have no connection. The only connection was to a single desktop computer in the office with the modem. For my own sanity I looked up the cheapest well reviewed router on Amazon and found this one. Set it up super easy and it works just fine for me and my mother who I taught to set up her phone on it.
If you do this for your family member I highly recommend labeling all the cables with tape and neon sticky notes so if it gets unplugged they know what goes where. My mother had to rearrange the furniture and move it and she didn't have any trouble plugging it back in where the labels said. I also recommend taping a note to the router saying what the IP and password is as she did forget it a few times but was able to just look at the note I put there.
She likes that she can have a password on the wireless as she didn't want people stealing her internet.
For $20 you can't beat having access to the internet wirelessly. It has strong signal even on the second floor.
No complaints. I haven't had her call me with any issues with it and I installed it 2 years ago. When I come over it is still working.
After a failed experience with on wifi extender I got this one after it was recommended to me by a friend. It works 1000 times better! I can video chat and stream with perfect clarity in my formerly dead zone. If you're reading this: it's worth spending the extra money to get this one.
I don't often write reviews but read a lot of them, and wanted to put this out there to help anyone considering this router.
When I was comparing different lower cost routers it seemed like every product had negative reviews and pointed out flaws, to the point where it gave me pause on buying ANYTHING at all.
But bottom line this is a very good router for the price, simple to set up, and I recommend it BIGLY
1. Good reception in 2000 sq foot house. I have used multiple devices and streamed video with no problem.
2. SO SIMPLE to set up - right out of box, connect cord, plug in power, and use the SSID and password printed on the S/N label - no need to log in and do any configuration
Do not despair upon reading all the reviews and just order this if you're looking to stay under fifty buckaroos
Like others have mentioned, this thing is incredibly easy to set up, especially using the WPS setup option. Instead of relocating our existing router, which would have been a pain to do, this was what we needed. We were able to boost both 2.4GHz and 5 GHz networks with ease. The only caveat I noticed was that it kept renaming our 5GHz network to whatever it wanted - even after I manually changed it to match our 5GHz network.
I bought this wifi extender with low expectations. I have a 3200 square foot house and thought I may need one for each floor. However, I am super happy I decided to try one at a time. Despite what I have read on some reviews, setting this thing up was a breeze and took maybe 10 minutes....max. I set it up for both bands. Then, I plugged it in on the same floor as my router and the range covers my entire house. No more dead spots and the speeds are much faster too. I couldn't be happier. As an added benefit, my wifi now extends far into my yard as well. Very happy.

Easy to set up. Clear and brief instruction sheet. Also video available on the internet. Has improved the wifi signal in the house. Was able to watch Netflix and Amazon with no interruption due to poor signal strength.
Works great. I use it in an above-garage studio to connect to the network in an adjacent dwelling. My signal was unpredictable before installing this. Now it's very good.
It works and it's easy to setup. I'm using it to get better WiFi connectivity in an upstairs bedroom.
Using an app on my Android phone ("WiFi Analyzer"), I measured the signal strength - prior to installation of the extender - of my 5GHz band at a very poor -75dBm. I could barely use the internet in that room and my WiFi connected TV could not play a YouTube video without degraded quality and long re-buffering pauses.
After installation of the extender, the signal strength is -40dBm which is as high as the meter goes. Now, the web loads quickly and I can watch TV again in that room.
Set-up was easy. Despite being instructed to place the extender halfway between the main router and the "dead spot," I placed it right next to the TV in my room and it works fine.
The only negative is that the password for logging directly into the extender is insecure. This password is strictly for administering the extender (changing settings, etc.). It's different from the network password you use get online for web-browsing. It's set to use an insecure default password ("admin"). The instructions do not mention the password nor do they encourage you to change it to something only you know -- which you should do. To change the password, install the TP-Link Tether app on your Android or iOS device. You can change the password there.
Exactly what I was hoping for. Allowed me to extend wifi range, easy to set up, and straightforward directions and packaging.
Before I say anything, I'd like to clarify as to why I believe anyone would give this AC1750 a bad rating; they're usually using it as a repeater.. In it of itself that's something you always want to avoid. If you're in an office, you aren't just "amplifying/repeating" YOUR wifi, but also EVERYONE else's! Therefore clearly, you have a poor signal, huge interference, latency- you name it. This is what you should expect technically speaking if you live somewhere in which multiple wireless networks are being broadcast within your immediate home/zone/office/room/etc.
I live in an apartment building with walls of thick concrete and steel and it's in the shape of a rectangle in where my router is at the far last room, and I needed something to help with wifi signal in the living room/kitchen (essentially the other half of the apartment.) for myself, family, guests, etc. I can confidently say that I'm one of the few people with such challenging 'surroundings' (this is an 8th story apartment in a crowded town along with walls and beams of thick steel/concrete, just to reiterate). The way I went about it was I bought a nice length of CAT6 ethernet and ran it all along the ceiling/wall where the coaxial/cable provider is already there, I made a nice clean run and have the Access point right in the living room. There's no dead zones, no weak signals, etc. The whole physical process of running the Cat6 and crimping it took around 45 minutes (trying to pin down the cable on areas with concrete took more time than would for most others circumstances).
However, if you'd like to make things better, use a wifi analyzer app and check ALL the channels being most occupied within your vicinity and change your settings accordingly to reduce the overall interference with other home routers/wifi networks. For this reason I have the Access Point in the living room (the first place you enter) running on different channels than the one in my room (the other extremity of the apartment). Because I use an Asus RT-AC3200AC, I chose the TP-Link AC1750 as they both have support for 5ghz/2.4ghz simultaneously, and I didn't want to compromise on quality too much but at the same time not spend more than $75 for a decent AP.
All in all I can't complain; initially the one small issue I had was I needed to grab a firmware update on the TP-Link website that had a specific bug fix related to asus routers (coincidentally..) but after flashing it we were on track and ever since then it's been swell!
