Disappointing
TP-Link has many great products. This isn't one of them. I specifically chose the AC1750 repeater to match it with my TP-Link AC1750 WiFi router. While following the instructions to configure the repeater it initially connected and broadcast the 2.4 and 5 gHz frequencies of the WiFi router. I then realized that this repeater was only broadcasting at 1/4 the speed available on both frequencies. Attempts to resolve this, including a firmware upgrade and manufacturer's published instructions, failed. The repeater soon dropped the 5 gHz frequency and would only connect via 2.4 gHz. This device was sent back assuming it was a isolated defect.
I received an exchange for the exact same model. This new repeater, likewise, would not connect to the TP-Link AC1750 WiFi router's 5 gHz frequency. I don't believe that running a repeater on a 2.4 gHz frequency at only 1/4 speed is worth the $70 + price tag so, this goes back as well.
