TL-WA850RE slow speeds

2017-06-05 03:06:16

Model :

Hardware Version :

Firmware Version :

ISP :

I purchased a TL-WA850RE unit yesterday to help with a Wi Fi dead area in my house.

I did get it set up ok and there are "5 Bars" for signal strength but speeds are very low vs my Lynksys router that it is connected to.

Example Lynksys Wi Fi speed is currently at 20 MBPS and the Range extender is 520 KBPS with 5 bars of strength.

Suggestions?

The extender is used to extend the wireless signal, then increase the speed accordingly.
It seems the extender is too close to the router. Normally 3 signal bars is good to use the extender.
Besides, you can have a check the speed when a pc is connected wired to the extender.
This will help to tell whether only the wireless has the slow speed issue.
