What customers say about "Key Specs"

TP-LINK RE200 AC750 Universal Dual Band Range Extender

To my surprise not only did the TP-Link boost the signal to the 2nd floor as desired but it also increased my signal strength in the basement on my primary PC.
As for the speed of the connection via the extender, it is the same as directly via the rooter. I was expecting a speed decrease but no.
I was getting sub 3 mbps download speeds. After installing this baby it throttled to 56 mbps.
With the extender, its a solid 30mbps with perfect signal. Given our internet speeds the extender is operation 100% perfectly.
The show loading speed is never immediate but is quicker than it has been.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

TP-LINK RE200 AC750 Universal Dual Band Range Extender

The unit itself is nice and small with NO WIRES! Due to it's size, I am easily able to hide it behind a storage rack and still have the quality signal I expect from my internet.
The device is TINY! It's the size of a stinking night light!
It is small and unobtrusive - I had one member of my family convinced it was a nightlight for a minute or two - and yet it is a powerful tool.
It's small and unobtrusive and looks great!
It's small and when plugged in looks something like a night light or air freshener.

What customers say about "Features"

TP-LINK RE200 AC750 Universal Dual Band Range Extender

The Tether app that comes with it lets me see if anything needs to be tweaked for the best overall performance.
Website/app: easy to navigate, easy to use features and good design.
Through the Tether app I know which devices connect through the Range Extender and which go through the primary router.
The setting process is fast and easy, the app is so amazing, everything works.
This range extender is easy to set up with WPS and has a strong signal with great range. The Tether app is great.
