Ratings and reviews

Really helpful to customize my extender for best performance! Absolutely beats the web version. One problem though is that since for some reason the web version does not work I'm forced to use the app, which I don't mind, but I can't disable both extended networks in the app. It tells me to use the web version, which doesn't work for me. I use Ethernet from my extender to my laptop and disabling the extended networks would improve performance, so I hope tplink can add that in the app. 😁

I've used this app for four years. Fearures are laid out poorly, interface is bad, and it just plain doesn't work sometimes. Random gremlins appear(bedtimes don't work), then go away for no apparent reason. Trying to do any custom configuration of settings and getting them to stick for longer than a week is a gamble. I wouldn't recommend the app or the routers to be honest.

I had better Wi-Fi connection with my old 2018 router then the new 2026 tether routers. they're experts recommended it to me. but has a lot of annoying smart features. and requires you to make an account and pay to fit your environment. unless you're an IT tech expert and can do it yourself. Also the FBI email user that tether routers are vulnerable due to firmware issues. I could confirm the email was genuine. Also router loses data stability even if it's connected. I regret buying it.
