Extender for SH31B.

[BDPA1977]

Hello there 👋 

I have just had an SH31B hub installed and am looking for an extender upstairs. I have read posts saying that I need an SW30A extender but cannot see where I can buy one. Does EE sell them? EE also recommended a TP Link extender but I am technically illiterate and don't know which one.

Any help most gratefully received.

Many thanks 

Ben

@BDPA1977 The TP-Link page on amazon, does display units at lower speed and hence lower price. You should go for a make that is better recognised, may have less problems.

Thank you @JimM11 . I am not sure which one I should go for though. My speeds are c.65mbps. What sort of thing am I looking for TP Link wise? 

Thanks and sorry for being a bother.

This has pretty good reviews?

@BDPA1977 TP-Link Mesh WiFi 6 Booster, Ultraxtend WiFi Range Extender with 1 Gigabit Port, AX3000 Mbps Interne...

This link is the lowest speed and lowest price. Will review your picture when it clears.

@BDPA1977 Your choice really, they are all good, your router is AX compatible, or AC backward also, whatever you like best.

I’ve just got the new hub and had a weak WiFi signal from my ev charger. Bought the tp re700x set up was easy and situated it between device and hub. But the ev is still showing weak signal and connected to the router rather than the extender.

@Maxi1441 Make sure when it was set up that the SSID name matched the EE Router, sometimes the TP-Link puts on a EXT at the end of the name for extended network, then you will have to use the tp link app to go in and rename. Use you phone to see what available networks are there.

Ah thanks for that. I did notice that on the app

@Maxi1441 When you setup the Tp-Link RE700X did you just use the WPS button on router/EE to pair both devices, or did you use the app to get it done, have an OP post @Welshy89 trying to setup the unit.
