Great control & data
Even the free version has really nice data. Not sure I’d pay for the subscription. The interface and user experience is great.

Super User Friendly
Have used networking equipment from a lot of top tier brands. This is by far the most user friendly app. Easy to connect and has everything any level of user might need.
2025-06-30
Not actually bad
I would recommend taking me about 2 minutes to use the app not bad

Best in the game
It’s an extremely well made application overall , the best in the game so far. Of course there are other apps which execute features better, I cannot block a device without it being currently connected, which is a much needed feature

No Downtime Routers
Making use of 4 TP-Link routers, 3 serve as access points. They run silently in the back ground, absolutely no problem and truly reliable routers.
2024-11-09
Simple setup
Really happy with the simple setup, I set out an hour to swap over my router but from opening the box to having internet again it took less than 15 minutes. And that included making a cup of tea!
2024-11-05
Super easy installation
Easy WiFi setup. Just have to get it to work as an access point

No hassle or technical expertise required
thoroughly impressed with the TP-Link Extender! Setup was a breeze, with no hassle or technical expertise required. The coverage and range have exceeded my expectations, providing a strong and reliable connection throughout both houses and even in the yard. I can now enjoy seamless Wi-Fi connectivity wherever I need it, without any dropped signals or dead zones. The TP-Link Extender has truly upgraded my home network, and I couldn't be happier!"

Tether App and extender Installation
It was very easy and convenient…I will give a few weeks and confirm if it is the right product for me. Thanks for making the installation process so easy.
2024-05-03
Better job
You are doing a wonderful job. The only area I recommend to paying attention is on security interface. Less is more.
2024-04-12
Excellent app
The app takes all the work out of setting up a TP-Link network. Makes the whole process uncomplicated and finds and sets up mesh devices very quickly.

Seamless Wi-Fi Extension Made Effortless!
I recently purchased the TP-Link Wi-Fi range extender and I couldn't be more impressed. The setup process using the app was an absolute breeze. Within 6 minutes, I had extended my Wi-Fi range without any hassle. The app was intuitive, making it easy to navigate through the setup steps. Compatibility was not an issue at all, and I was up and running in no time. The efficiency and ease of use of this product are unparalleled. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to extend their Wi-Fi coverage seamlessly. Five stars all the way!

Changing password
It was very easy to change my password
2023-12-31
Good, could be better
It’s a home wifi system, I should be able to see what data is being used for.
2023-10-20
Easy to Setup
It took me less than 5 minutes to complete the setup, by following the 2 steps setup instructions.
2023-10-09
Good products
Pity the rules change with every device; as soon as you become accustomed to where to change settings, everything gets bundled together differently. It may be a good idea to consider sticking to what people are used to.
2023-03-16
Data allocation
I so wish you the app can give us the ability to limit data usage for guest or other devices or enable to allocate certain data for example “4G” to device 2 a day, device 1 have unlimited data. This kind of control can assist a lot.
2022-01-13
Amazing!
Incredibly easy to use. The app certainly eliminates any complications that you’d experience from blocking users, resetting the WiFi name and managing devices on the network. Highly recommended!
2021-08-23
Networking made easy
This app removes all the complications and complexities usually experienced during network setup. It is so easy to use.
I wish you could add more controls on the console to be a fully-fledged SD-WAN tool for home and business use. I also need to be able to monitor and change the speed of the internet (of course linking to the service provider system), and more especially on the AI space.
2021-08-02
New Feature
The app is great just wish I could check the Internet speeds. The USSD feature is not found on the app just the desktop website, hoping that can be added soon as it does not allow me to purchase data bundles remotely.
2020-12-18
History
Ever consider browsing history as an option per family member/user?
2020-07-02
Add Speed Test Feature
This app is very helpful in managing my home network. It would be great, if I could be able to check now and than the speed of my internet connection. Internet service providers don’t always give you the internet connection speed you pay for. I hope you really consider adding this feature.
2020-05-09
Why do you need my personal details?
I want to analyze a home network. Why on earth do I need to log in and register? I already bought your hardware and really would like to manage it, but to put the functionality of a supporting app behind registering my contact email and other personal details doesn’t respect me. Poor show, will steer away from tplink products in future.
2018-09-30
Great app
One of the very few apps out there that actually does exactly what it’s supposed to. For a automation app I’ve had very, if any, issues with it.
2017-11-18
Awesome device and software
Great speed. Totally reliable. App does what it does. Some nice features, like turning the light indicators off at night then back on at a certain time of the day. Speed is exactly as promised.
If you cant use the app or cant get great speed. Youre doing something wrong. Not the device.
