TP-Link TL-WA854RE N300 WiFi Extender Booster
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The TP-Link TL-WA854RE costs £14.99 and is rated 4.1 stars from 21,108 ratings, with fifty-seven per cent of buyers at five stars.
It takes third because it is the cheapest extender in the article and its name gives away the compromise: N300 means a single 2.4GHz band, where every other model here carries two radios. Its type field holds the entire product name and its range field says up to 100 metres.
How those 21,108 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.1 stars.
