A complete disaster
This WiFi extender is worse than worthless. After turning it on it works wonderfully for about an hour with great speeds on both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Then, the 5 GHz band drops off and I have full bars but no internet connection. At this point the 5 GHz light on the extender is off. Somehow, even my wireless router is showing 5 GHz band working I have no internet at 5 GHz, only 2.4 GHz. I use the TP-Link app to turn off 5 GHz so it's just running on 2.4 GHz because I can live with that. Restart the router and now I have great speeds on both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Baller. Give it a couple hours and the extender has magically turned its 5 GHz band back on and I again have no internet through 5 GHz from my router. Unplug the extender, restart the router, and I have perfect 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi for days. The best I can figure is that this is come kind of technological zombie that keeps coming back from the dead to kill my 5 GHz signal. It's time to destroy its brain and be done with it already.
