If your internet or download speed is slow when your device is connected to a TP-Link Range Extender, try the following troubleshooting steps:

  1. Check the placement of your Range Extender: Ensure that your Range Extender is placed in an optimal location with minimal obstructions between your router and the Range Extender.

  2. Check the signal strength of your Range Extender: Make sure that the signal strength of your Range Extender is strong enough to provide a stable internet connection. You can check the LED lights on your Range Extender to determine if it has a strong signal.

  3. Update the firmware of your TP-Link Range Extender: Check if there is any firmware update available for your Range Extender and install it. Updating the firmware can fix any bugs or issues that might be causing slow speeds.

  4. Change the Wi-Fi Channel: Interference from other Wi-Fi networks can cause slow speeds. Change the Wi-Fi channel on your router and Range Extender to avoid interference from other networks.

  5. Disable the Wi-Fi on your device and reconnect: Turn off the Wi-Fi on your device and then turn it back on. This can help you reconnect to the Range Extender and potentially improve your internet speed.

  6. Try using a different network adapter: If you are experiencing slow speeds on a specific device, try using a different network adapter to see if the issue is with the device's hardware.

  7. Contact TP-Link customer support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, contact TP-Link customer support for further assistance. You may need to inquire about warranty service or get further technical assistance.

It's important to note that the steps for troubleshooting slow speed issues can vary depending on the model and firmware version of your TP-Link Range Extender. Refer to the user manual or online support resources for specific instructions on how to troubleshoot your particular model of TP-Link Range Extender.
