The warranty period is typically two years, but it can vary. Check the product packaging or TP-Link's website for details.

Troubleshooting

Make sure your router's WPS is enabled. If WPS fails, try setting up via the web interface. Ensure you have the correct Wi-Fi password.

Slow internet speeds.

Move the extender closer to your router or in a location with a stronger Wi-Fi signal. Check your internet speed with a speed test to rule out ISP issues.
