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