TP-Link TL-WA850RE 300 Mbps Wi-Fi range extender: 2.4 GHz 802.11n, two internal antennas, one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port and a five-bar signal light for placement. Plugs straight into a UK wall socket.
The TP-Link TL-WA850RE is a 300 Mbps 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi range extender that plugs into a UK wall socket and repeats your router's signal into weak spots. It has two internal antennas, a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port, a five-bar signal strength light and WPS one-button setup, and uses about 3 W.
It is a low-cost way to stretch Wi-Fi into a back bedroom, conservatory or loft for browsing, email and smart home devices, most of which use 2.4 GHz. The signal light shows when you have found a good spot between router and dead zone.
The Ethernet port lets a wired-only device join the Wi-Fi. If you want 5 GHz as well, choose the dual-band RE200; browse more in data networking.
