Ok. LOVE the video. May I ask some questions?
I have ATT internet Wi-Fi in the LEFT of my house. An ATT service guy put the Extender in the middle of the house and 3 hubs for 3 tvs. The RIGHT side of the house hub blinks red all the time, seems the extender helped for a while, now not so much. Where should I put this device? Should I get TP-Link RE505 or 220? (My house is 2,500 sq. ft. One last question. Can I send back ATT extender if I purchase one of these? It costs me $8 month to use their extender and can the Internet provider tell if you are using an extender?
Is it possible to change the extender’s name too?
Just so you know… I just like and subscribe just for the 40 second answer 😂
more than knowledge, this is advertisement.
Best intro! To the point
Excellent presentation, SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS, AMERICAN DOLLARS😢😢😢😢 NOPE
Well I used digital encryptions to lock it in hardware then I use my extender to open a level beyond that to digest it all called a wifi mesh
You can’t seriously be recommending a Chinese product be given back door access to our wifis like come on mate
Great Intro! Perfect

It’s the fastest router ever tested and didn’t specify the speeds? C’mon….how fastxare we talking?
Dude, straight up, you answered the question immediately and then continued on for the nerds, i never subscribed to how to channels, but you got me. I am subscribed.
I wish every video did this, give you the answer upfront and if you want more, keep watching 🙌🏼👍🏼 thank you
Many thanks for this helpful video. Love the lighthearted tone too! = making tech fun. Keep it up CNET. 🙂
The format of this video, quick to the point added detail for those who want it earn an immediate sub and like.
To quote Steven Wright.. "It’s so fast you don’t even need it."
The intro rocked. Thank you.
I’m two levels above my router getting weak signal should I get WiFi extender or mesh system?
This is insidious. I have done so much research. Where is the SIM card on my 1985 Honda Accord?
Proud of mom
Thank you for that quick answer 🙏🏻 😂😂 ill watch the whole video to help you gain them founds though lol cheers Brotha
Extender was good til it wasn’t. Grabbing a mesh asap
Are easymesh tp-link extenders act as mesh nodes or just repeaters?
Giving you a like for not burying the lead. Thank you for that.
Most on point video ever
Thanks for actual helpful information
TL;DR
You nailed it! Genius
Bro answered everything I needed in 20 secs thank you!!
First 40 seconds of video is why I have subscribed.. good stuff
Nice learned what I needed to know in 24 seconds. Excellent job!
LOVE THE TLDR START!!! ty. keep it up
So I need to reconstruct my house. Damn.
Wow… legend 🔥
Thank you for the TL;DR! I genuinely appreciate it
why bother just use access point
I literally fast forwarded the video and was surprised he said thank you already!! 😊
Thank you. I used to plug my extender in the dead zone. I learnt from this video to plug it in the closest location possible where it can receive a strong connection.
great video, what wifi extender do I need to have wifi outside my apartment building 🤔 😅, and stop people from using my wifi
NOOOOOO! NOT Orbi !! It’s is terrible DO NOT Buy. Netgear – they stop supporting after about a year
40s to the point, and details later, thank you sir. We need more people like you!
Cut the music
HAHA the TDLR at the beginning was genius. Thank you ! But I watched the whole thing because it was informative and not full of trash dribble from other videos. Keep up the great content. You have earnt my like and subscription which is very rare. Cheers
Get and plug in second router, and us it in AP mode. It eliminates dead zones. You can buy a second hand "N" router for $15. Most people have an old router laying around.
