This \u003cstrong\u003eplugs straight into a socket\u003c\/strong\u003e — no cables, no power brick, no shelf space — picks up your existing Wi-Fi and rebroadcasts it further into the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clever part is the \u003cstrong\u003efive signal lights\u003c\/strong\u003e on the front. They show how strong the link back to your router is, so you can move it from socket to socket until you find the spot that works. TP-Link's advice is to settle where at least \u003cstrong\u003ethree lights\u003c\/strong\u003e are on. Without that, positioning an extender is guesswork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetting it up takes a \u003cstrong\u003eWPS press\u003c\/strong\u003e: press WPS on the router, then the button on the extender within two minutes, and it copies your network details across. If your router has no WPS button, the \u003cstrong\u003eTP-Link Tether app\u003c\/strong\u003e walks through it instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is also a \u003cstrong\u003e10\/100 ethernet port\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is more useful than it looks. Anything with a network socket and no Wi-Fi — an older smart TV, a games console, a printer — plugs into the extender and joins the wireless network through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works on the \u003cstrong\u003e2.4GHz band\u003c\/strong\u003e at up to \u003cstrong\u003e300Mbps\u003c\/strong\u003e, and draws about \u003cstrong\u003e3W\u003c\/strong\u003e. The app can put the lights into \u003cstrong\u003enight mode\u003c\/strong\u003e so it is not glowing on a landing at 3am.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct
