Which range extender?

[marine1]

Which one would you recommend ?
Signal is a bit bad in unit in complex.
I know they are all not the best but maybe one would perform better ?

If you just need 2.4Ghz take the TL-WA850RE.
I have setup loads of those, they are rock solid.

Agreed.
I have 3 RE505X and a WA850 in the Garage (for automation) and they just work

Unfortunately it's lot for me. And she can't afford a mesh

I'd seriously advise against a range extender. I've never had a good experience. Just get a router with decent 5ghz speeds that can do AP mode and set up its own network in the part of the house that you want to extend to. I have one downstairs and one upstairs, I think I picked it up secondhand for like €30 and I get gigabit throughput everywhere.

Range extenders are a waste of time

I had this exact problem. During the day my connection was fine but as more people came home and logged onto their wifi my devices on wifi went to hell. Wired devices were fine.

My suggestion is to get these instead:

Yes they cost a lot more but anything else is just a waste.

I always prefer TP Link but there is one with dual antenna. Works well.
