- Does it work with any router?
- Yes, it extends any router's signal, but EasyMesh features need a compatible TP-Link router. Without one it works as a standard repeater.
- Will my devices switch between rooms automatically?
- Smart Roaming lets devices move between the router and extender under one network name, though some devices hold on to the weaker signal.
- How much speed do I lose?
- A repeater shares its radio with the router, so expect roughly half the router's throughput at the extended end. The Gigabit port avoids that for wired devices.
- Where should I plug it in?
- Place it roughly halfway between the router and the dead zone, where the router signal is still strong. Plugging it into the dead zone itself gives poor results.
- Does it create a separate network name?
- It can copy your router's name and password, so devices see one network, or use a separate name if you prefer.
- What's in the box?
- The extender unit and a quick installation guide. Setup is done through WPS or the Tether app.
