Q: Can this be used for rv’s to connect to campground WiFi
A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about TP-Link AC750 Wi-Fi Range Extender - White (RE205). Yes, the TP-Link AC750 Wi-Fi Range Extender (RE205) can technically be used in an RV to connect to campground WiFi. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.
submitted byJoe - 7 days agoTarget staff supportA: It actually depends on several factors. If the campground uses a captive portal for authentication, then the answer is likely no. If it uses a traditional SSID and Password, then it may be possible, but several factors have to be considered, such as signal strength, AP/Router security, ACL settings, and the physical area you are putting the Extender.

Q: Do I need more than 1 Extender
A: Hi Angelboriqua007, The number of Wi-Fi Extenders you need will depend on how many "Wi-Fi Dead Zones" you have in your home, the position of your router, and the overall layout of your home. We recommend starting with one Wi-Fi Extender and positioning it as optimally as possible before determining whether additional extenders are needed.

A: Hi Georgi, TP-Link Wi-Fi Extenders are universally compatible with Wi-Fi Routers. Please keep in mind if the public Wi-Fi network uses a webpage-based login method (also known as a Captive Portal), the public network may present some restrictions on the extender's ability to connect.

Q: Does this work in hotels? Will it be able to connect via the hotel wifi authentication page?
A: Hi Baseball2025, thanks for reaching out about the TP-Link AC750 Wi-Fi Range Extender - White Yes, a TP-Link AC750 Wi-Fi Range Extender (like the RE200 or RE220 models) can often work in hotels, but there's a crucial point to understand about hotel Wi-Fi networks: be prepared for a slightly more involved setup process due to hotel captive portals. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day between 7 am and 11 pm CST.
submitted byRena - 2 months agoTarget expert supportA: Hi Baseball2025, TP-Link Wi-Fi Range Extenders are universally compatible with Wi-Fi routers. While it may work, obstacles may arise because the hotel uses Captive Portal authentication (a sign-in page). For best results in scenarios where captive portal authentication is used, we would generally suggest using one of our TP-Link Travel Router models.
