Great video! Two things to add: 1. The con you mentioned with regards to the lower speeds is actually common with most (if not all) range extenders, not just this one, because of the way range extenders work (basically receiving and retransmitting the packets). Which also explains why you get a higher speed when using it as an Access Point (AP) instead. I for one I'm glad they actually let us use both modes. 2. The 300mps is the max transfer rate and is dependent on the source connection. So if your source isn't giving you that speed, you definitely shouldn't expect to see that through your extender. It can't give what it doesn't have. To illustrate the second point, assuming you use the device in Extender mode (which are known to give you at max 50% of your source's speeds), if your source is at 500Mbps, the best (could be lower) you should expect is 250Mbps. However if your source is 800Mbps, ideally you should expect 400Mbps, however, the highest you would actually get is 300Mbps because that's the max transfer rate I hope this helps someone struggling with the 300Mbps constraint. Also I didn't know if someone had already addressed this in the comment, I didn't go that far down. So if they have, sorry for restating it.
if u have 50mbps and use tplink 300mbps then it will not increase ur speed to 300mbps. tplink 300mbps is just a data transfer speed. if u share file from one pc to another pc then the data can be transfered upto 300mbps speed..
Im trying to connect from ethernet port on my modem, to this device. But when I do my whole internet crashes. Nothing can connect to wifi. When i plug out the cable the internet works again. So confused
hello,i want to put it on my room and put an ethernet between this and pc..my router is on living room..i have 100+ mbps speed,will i play smoothly or not?
does it actually extend your range? before extender range 20 meters, at 20meter "hardly connect", at 25 meter "cant see it at all" with extender range 30 meter, at 28 meter "slow but with still can watch youtube in 480p smoothly" It would be nice if you could answer this in the video
Is there a difference between wa850re(eu) and wa850re(us)? Because my device is wa850re(eu) and I downloaded on it the latest version of the firmware (us) Did I download a wrong firmware
Yo buddy excellent review, so do you any idea which extender would give me full or at least 50% of internet speed? I am facing the same issue as you are i have a 300mbps connection but with this I hardly get 20 mpbs & have you tried to update the firmware version of it?
Thanks Athaulla! Yes I’ve tried updating but it didn’t help, looks like its capacity is actually 20mbps when repeating through the wireless medium.. Well well, I’m not 100% sure since the companies are never clear on product details hahah, but in which country are you in? So that I can search based on available products within your market. Cheers!
Chaq, I love your videos. But do you realise how distracting it is when a You Tuber waves his hands around in front of the camera? Lots do it. My advice: hide the hands.

Thanks bro i understood the difference between the access point and range extender, thanks for making it clear 👍
how would you expect to get better speed than from your source ?????? 300 mps is max possible speed.
I was confused and didn't know how to use it properly and you helped a lot thank you
if u have 50mbps and use tplink 300mbps then it will not increase ur speed to 300mbps. tplink 300mbps is just a data transfer speed. if u share file from one pc to another pc then the data can be transfered upto 300mbps speed..
So I get 300 mbps when next to my router when I go to my room I get like 4 would this help me get higher?

Best review... excellent detailed explanation..good bro...u earned a subscriber
does it actually extend your range?
before extender range 20 meters, at 20meter "hardly connect", at 25 meter "cant see it at all"
with extender range 30 meter, at 28 meter "slow but with still can watch youtube in 480p smoothly"
It would be nice if you could answer this in the video
Can this improve signal strength on my ps5 as my strength is weak
Is there a difference between wa850re(eu) and wa850re(us)? Because my device is wa850re(eu) and I downloaded on it the latest version of the firmware (us)
Did I download a wrong firmware
will it connect to 2.4 ghz main network and transmit both 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz extended network, please reply?
This actually helped me, thanks a lot Chaq🤙🏽
Hi bud .How do I add another extender without the use of a computer Tia
Hey man what is the app called can you please answer me ASAP I just go it now
It’s called “tether”, I suggest you scan the barcode on the box. Cheers!
@@Chaq thanks
Which is better ? tp link wa855re or wa850re
would this work on a extension board?
I just need it for my smart TV, do I need to set it on my computer first?
Same here, did u bought it or sometin similiar?
@@Markzy_DM bought the same thing, never had a problem, working good so far, I set it tru my phone
Bro i still get 72 mbps im not getting 300mbps help
Great video man I love it
Thanks🙏

@@Chaq thanks buddy I am live in India. It's really unfair actually to market their products this way. I think there is a 450 model that there ...
Are there any payment needed on this ?????
i thought you teach us how to configure it
What is apple keshn name please

Thanks for the information and this helped me to not buy it now as it won't help with my gaming lol
Big up from Scotland 👍 piece off 🤣
