TP-Link 150Mbps Wireless Range Extender (TL-WA730RE)

Anyone used it got a ps3 2 floors down only getting 12% from the dir 655 in attic. So thinking of placing this half way and seeing if it gets a decent signal.

Wont really be used for gaming just streaming avi and bbc iplayer. Anyone used one or similar ?

I've got the tp-link and have used it every day for the top floor if my house. Basically in my daughter's room there was basically no signal and now with the extender she gets a decent signal and can watch sd video and stuff. Some say it halves your throughput but I say meh. I put the extender on the first floor. It boosts my signal when I'm in my bedroom on the first floor too.

Cheers I suppose for £20 its worth a go if it saves having to buy powerline or go with ethernet.

You would probably be better off buying some directional antennas. Thats the setup I have on my DIR 655.
