Q: Will this extender work in a basement room with the door closed and the router setup just outside in the next room

submitted by LadyT - 3 months ago
  • A: Hi LadyT, thanks for reaching out about TP-Link AC750 Wi-Fi Range Extender - White (RE205). It's difficult to say for sure whether the TP-Link AC750 Wi-Fi Range Extender will work effectively in your basement room with the door closed, even with the router in the next room. Here's why: Wi-Fi signals are weakened by obstacles: Walls, especially those made of concrete or with metal components, can significantly weaken Wi-Fi signals. A closed door can also add to this attenuation. Basements can be challenging: Basements are often located underground, which can further impede Wi-Fi signals. Extender placement is crucial: The range extender needs to be placed in a location where it can receive a strong enough signal from your router to amplify it. If the signal is already weak in the next room, the extender might not be able to do its job effectively. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

    submitted byJoe - 2 months ago
    Target staff support
  • A: Hi LadyT, As long as your router's Wi-Fi provides sufficiently stable and strong connectivity at the extender's location, it should be able to receive and extend the Wi-Fi effectively.

  • A: Hi Dj, The TP-Link RE205 Wi-Fi Extender is designed to provide additional Wi-Fi coverage and range within your home by connecting to your existing router's Wi-Fi signal and broadcasting it further - typically into "Wi-Fi dead zones" in the home. If by "landline" you mean a land line telephone connection (RJ11), then no. This extender is equipped with an Ethernet (RJ45) port.

I had moved my home office to another room where I couldn't hardline our ethernet and my connectionw as steadily getting worse especially when trying to do video meetings. I finally got this extender and have a very fast connection now. I will say I think after it showed it was connected, immediately after, it wasn't that fast. But by the time I ran soem errands and came back it was like high speed. So I'm guessing it takes it a few to really connect. FYI, it plugs next to your router while you do set up, then you move it half way between router and dead zone. So glad I found an affordable solution.

Not only does this extender not work at all but it causes more problems. It will connect to the extender automatically and it's like I have no internet at all. Very odd. When I have it on my regular connection it works better. I definitely do not recommend this and wish I would have spent a few more bucks to get something that actually works.

I brought this to extend my bandwidth in my house. I live in a 2 story townhouse and kept having connection issues with my Roku device upstairs. So, I brought this to see if this would correct the issue & it has. However, Im not sure if the connnection will work with mutiple devices, because when I connected both the Roku and my smart TV, the screaming Apps took a long time to load. However, once I connected just one device (Roku), it seems to work perfectly. Granted I was only able to get the 2.4ghz, but it seems to suffice for now! Hopefully I don't have to come back and make corrections/changes to my review. But, I think it works for the price!

1 reply from TPLinkSupport team - 7 months ago
Hi, Thank you for your review. Single Band and Dual Band Wi-Fi extenders utilize half-duplex transmission. As a result, throughput when connecting to the extender may be reduced when compared to the router. This is an industry standard for Wi-Fi extenders and is not exclusive to TP-Link. In your case, we recommend relocating the unit to a position in your home where the router's Wi-Fi signal is sufficiently strong; yet far enough from the router to effectively extend its range. We also suggest making sure you are connecting via the 5GHz band, and that the Extender's firmware is fully up to date, as outlined in FAQ 1409 on our official TP-Link website. If you'd like assistance with any of these steps, please reach out to our free support team using any of the resources included with the product, or from our official website, and we'll gladly have a Support Agent follow up with you directly. Thank you, TP-Link Support

For me, I connected the TP link and tested the internet speed on my console for it. It only brought down my download speed. With the TP link it was bringing down my Wi-Fi's upload speed in general as well. After disconnecting the TP link I noticed my normal WI-FI upload and download speed was way higher than it was when it was on and connected. Did not work the best for me but it is good for the price of $30 but just didn't work for me personally.
