This video looks at TP-Link's popular RE400 and RE450 Range Extenders, which are suitable for use in large homes. They offer easy setup and good performance. This is an unboxing, review, teardown disassembly, and setup tutorial of a free demo unit received from TP-Link, for testing and feedback, as part of their review program.
Do you have Wi-Fi problems in some area of your home or property; maybe a back bedroom, patio, or basement? Are there any Wi-Fi dead zones? A Range Extender can improve coverage, boost low Wi-Fi signals, and increase Internet speeds.
If there is a large area to cover, even if you have the best most expensive router, a Wi-Fi Range Extender might be needed. That’s because all routers have their maximum power throttled to meet maximum FCC requirements. That occurs even when running Open Source firmware. My large old house has plaster wire lathe walls which degrade Wi-Fi signals. For complete coverage, inside and outdoors in the garden, I use multiple access points and range extenders.
