Value for money
recently purchased the TP-Link RE330 AC1200 WiFi Extender, and it has significantly improved my home WiFi coverage. My main router struggled to provide a strong signal to some areas of my house, but the RE330 bridged that gap perfectly.Pros:1. Easy Setup: The installation process was straightforward, thanks to the TP-Link Tether app. It guided me step by step, and I had it running in less than 10 minutes.2. Reliable Performance: With dual-band support (2.4GHz and 5GHz), my devices connect seamlessly, and I’ve noticed fewer dropouts in areas where I used to struggle with signal strength.3. Speed: The extender handles streaming and general browsing well. I tested it with a 4K video stream, and the playback was smooth without buffering.4. Compact Design: It plugs directly into a wall socket, and its compact size means it doesn’t take up much space.5. Value for Money: Considering its features, it’s very reasonably priced compared to other extenders with similar specs.Cons:1. Limited Range Extension: While it works well for medium-sized homes, it might not be the best option if you’re trying to extend WiFi to a very distant or outdoor location.2. Ethernet Port Placement: The Ethernet port at the bottom could make it tricky to use depending on the wall socket placement.Overall, the TP-Link RE330 is an excellent budget-friendly solution for improving WiFi in dead zones. While it may not offer the most advanced features for tech enthusiasts, it’s perfect for everyday users looking for a simple and reliable way to enhance connectivity. Highly recommended for small to medium-sized home.

Fast, consistent and easy to install. Not quite 5 stars tho.....
Over the years I have always enjoyed using TP-Link products. They have seemed to offer great value for money without compromising functionality. They also tend to last as well..!These five port metal housed switches are so well made I can only imagine that they would survive the toughest of environments. For me it was worth paying the small difference in price to have the metal cased version over that of the plastic.I have included three photos of these V5 five port metal switches. The first photo shows four of the five ports used to connect to devices and then the fifth port to connect to the LAN.The second photo shows the five ports connected and then the rear of the switch where the power supply connects.The third photo shows the throughput over the LAN with three of these switches connected.Of course the actual throughput will vary with factors other than just the switches deciding the overall sustained transfer speeds. For me I get sustained 113MB/sec transfer speeds on single large files and then a reduced speed if there are many small files being sent across the LAN.The theoretical maximum speed is 125MB/sec.The forth photo shows the box they are packaged in, well made and sturdy packaging with a UK based support address.In total I have four of these switches, a fifth on my LAN is an eighth port version. The other type of switch in use is a POE six port Netgear for my CCTV cameras.These five port V5 metal cased switches are a delight to use, robust and solid and they simply work. So why drop a star in the ratings.....The first reason to drop a star is that they don't offer a Yellow light for a 100Mb connection. They do offer the green light for the 1000Mb one, often the green and yellow are on each side of the connected port. This might bother you or not.The other point is the positioning of the power connector. It is on the opposite side to that of the plugged port connections, that means it can never fit up flush to a wall in certain situations as either the front or the back protrude. Aesthetically, for some, it looks "cleaner" if the connections are all facing on the same side. That being said I do have a couple of Netgear 8 port metal switches and they too have the power port on the opposite side to the LAN ports, altho other models that I have do not have that arrangement.If the above bothers you then look elsewhere.So to summarise, these small metal 5 port switches are unmanaged, simply plug and use but no port or speed etc management via a UI, very well made and simply work with a life time warranty.I do recommend these switches and I do hope that you have found this review useful to help with your buying choices.Best wishes

It’s working great so far! If you need a mesh extender this is great value for money!
Had a few of the TP link extenders and always worked well. Got this new mesh type one as our signal is terrible where we are and thought the mesh system would be better for us. It is! Full wifi throughout the bungalow within 5 mins of setting it up. It was easy to set up 5 minutes with the app!It’s working really well! No dropouts at all so far. And the streaming capability is fast and stays on!Used to take nearly 2 hours to watch 1 45 min episode with all the constant dropouts. Yesterday watched 4 x 1 hour episodes with no drop out at all. I wish I’d got it sooner!

Good Wi-Fi Extender But...
I bought this Mesh Dual Band Wi-Fi Range Extender to extend the Wi-Fi around the house after switching broadband to Fibre To The Property supplied with a mesh router. The extender connects really easily and provides good Wi-Fi speeds on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies all over the ground floor with a strong boosted signal. I have used TP Link stuff before and they are generally easy to use, produce good network speeds for the money, look stylish and function as advertised. However, this device although is Mesh compatible, the Mesh ONLY works with TP Link specified routers, ie: the Mesh function does not work with any Mesh compatible router including mine! Overall though without the Mesh function, its still a good, fast Wi-Fi range extender for the money.

A NEED if your WiFi doesn’t cover the whole home!
I am with, what’s supposed to be, a very fast and reliable broadband company. Well, you can only seem to get an internet connection when in the same room as the router. Now I have this WiFi Extender, I have access to internet connection throughout my whole home, with my Mac that couldn’t update unless it was next to the hub, or the TV that would buffer every 5 minutes, and whilst connected would drop out, I don’t have these problems anymore, it’s brilliant. For the £20 it cost me, it’s perfect, solved all my problems, no dropouts and perfect signal throughout the house, in all the corners there was no connection before.
