    Good, connects easily, catches my line normally without losses, sometimes the ms may increase, but otherwise very good

    I have been using a Tenda router for 2 years and my internet speed has never dropped. I plugged the extender directly into the socket, it was very easy to connect, the LED lights turned on immediately, and it reaches around 93Mbps from a 100Mbps line in the middle rooms with Wi-Fi.

    For now, I am very satisfied with its setup and performance.

    CAUTION! Some laptops have very poor network cards, and in a test we conducted, one laptop reached 40Mbps (which is better than the previous 12Mbps it reached), but when we tested with mobile devices, they all reached over 90Mbps. So it also depends on the laptop or the network card in general of your desktop PC/laptop. My second laptop, which is about €300 more expensive, reached 82-86Mbps in the same room where I tested everything else.

    Well, all the tenda products I have are very good in general, this particular one is good BUT for short distances you need changes in floor, intermediate walls, etc. get the classic tenda with large antennas, it works constantly on the red light, meaning weak signal, and all this for just one floor, it's simply convenient without cables, etc.

    Personally, I connected it very easily in 1 minute without any knowledge or encountering any problem! It is quite stable and it helps you in short range. It is also economical and well-designed.

    I bought it so I don't have to pull a 10-meter cable from the router to the PC. It's quite good, it doesn't lose any speed and the ping remains stable. It's very easy to install. I've had it for 1 week, time will tell

    Amazing!
    I wanted an internet cable-to-wifi and not wifi-to-wifi.
    It can do both! It comes in wifi-to-wifi mode for multiple users.
    To change the mode to cable-to-wifi:
    1. We place it near the router and wait for it to connect by pressing the WPS button (see manual)
    2. We connect the Tenda to the laptop using a cable
    3. We type the address mentioned in the manual into the browser
    4. On the page, we select the mode we want and it's done.
    We repeat steps 3-4 to restore it to wifi mode.

    Super!!! I created a permanent wireless link between my router and the Tenda. I connected another router to the Tenda with a cable, which automatically establishes an IPsec VPN with my company. And on this router, I connect my computer, printer, company access point, and phone to the corporate network. Zero delay, independent network from the home network, flawless performance. So I don't know what smoke it's blowing as a repeater, because I use it as a bridge, but for its price, it solved my problems and effectively replaced the awful cable that went through the hole and all over the living room to reach the room where I work. It has been working non-stop for 4 months now. Power outages, WAN router restarts, etc. don't bother it. Everything is up and running in a few minutes. Bravo to Tenda.

    I do not have the knowledge or experience from another extender, but I can say that even for someone like me, after watching a similar video, I installed it very easily (using the router's code), but I can't say that its range convinces me...
    At a distance of 4 meters from the router (with two walls in between), the performance drops below half, 35mbps in the router's area and only 14 or even lower in the extender's area (between and directly across from two rooms)!
    But without interruptions or connectivity issues, it connects smoothly up to 5 devices, while without the extender, we had a serious problem (it dropped even to 7mbps), so we are probably satisfied, although we cannot know if another one would have been better or to what extent its capabilities correspond to its price of €35.

    Easy installation and network setup via mobile and computer.
    What you need to pay attention to is the smaller range compared to tp-link.
    That is, in the same socket, the signal reception is significantly reduced compared to the router (I use a stock modem-router from Cosmote).
    After placing it in a closer socket, it connected seamlessly with speeds on both bands almost the same as those achieved with a cable.
    Overall, I would choose it again for its stability and dual band.
