" ...  My experience with the TP-Link N300 WiFi Extender (TL-WA855RE) has left me dissatisfied, as the product fails to deliver on several fronts, making it a less-than-ideal choice for improving Wi-Fi coverage. ... *Limited Speeds:* Despite the advertised potential, the extender only provides up to 300Mbps speed, which falls short of meeting the demands of modern internet usage. ... This limitation becomes apparent, especially in households with multiple connected devices. ... *Ineffective Range Extension:* While the extender claims to boost Wi-Fi coverage up to 800 square feet, my experience suggests otherwise.  ...  "

I haven't changed anything, moved locations, or increased my Wi-Fi usage since I first bought it and wasn't experiencing issues so that's pretty frustrating.  ...  "
