TP-Link AX5400 WiFi 6 Range Extender with Ethernet Port | Internet Signal Booster for Home | Tri-Band Wireless Repeater Amplifier | Built In Access Point Mode | APP Setup | OneMesh Compatible (RE815X)

Waste money not working

I wanted to increase the WiFi coverage in my house, and this extender does a really good job of that! My router is a TP-Link AX5400 (Archer AX73), and is "EasyMesh" compatible. I tried using other less expensive (aka "cheaper") WiFi extenders, and I got what I paid for. TP-Link recommends this particular extender (the RE815X), and it works great. Setup was a very easy - Plug in the extender while it's near the router, press the WPS buttons on both devices. They link up, and you're good to go. Move the extender to where you want it, check that the signal light indicates it's receiving an acceptable signal, and that's it. The router and extender together use a third 5GHz radio to communicate with each other, and the extender essentially extends both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz band so that BOTH bands get an extended signal. The end result is like having two routers. As for the size of the extender, it's larger than a dual outlet wall plate. I put mine in an unused outlet (imagine that!) under the counter in the kitchen. I put my router in one corner of the house floorplan, and I put the extender in the opposite diagonal corner. I now have better coverage for all my smart home and IOT devices. Devices on the second floor now get a 5GHz connection where they only had coverage for a 2.4GHz before. The signal is strong enough to reach Alexa devices in the backyard. The signal strength for my Ring cameras has improved with the addition of this extender. If I could change just one thing about it, it would be that the connected device names show up in the management interface of the extender. The router will identify all the devices connected to the network and show the name, MAC address, and DHCP assigned IP. The extender shows the devices that are connecting to the network using the extender, but the it (the extender) only shows the MAC address and IP of the devices, and not the name. This would be a "nice-to-have", but isn't a "show-stopper" for me. Overall, I'm very pleased with this product and I would recommend it. It might be seen as a little "pricey", but I think the overall value is well worth the cost. I have no regrets buying it.

Excelente potencia para un repetidor, buen alcance de la banda de 5 y mejor aun para la de 2.4. Lo tengo conectado por ethernet a través de switch y entrega casi completo el ancho de banda del router. Recomiendo ampliamente.

ممتاز جداً نشكركم كثيرا

Ok so internet at my house has been spotty around the house at times until I got a wifi extender. I bought one, but that was a few years ago. That wifi extender would only get me about 100mb/s from a router that was located downstairs which would get a speed of about 500-900mb/s (depending on how close you were to it). Now that my home has frequent guests and even more devices that require internet connection around the house, I needed something that performed much better. I decided to get this wifi extender to supplement my old one. This new wifi extender I decided on is triband and performs a lot better. I now get easily more than 200mb/s when I check the speed on my phone upstairs. Of course speed isnt the only feature. This extender helps my internet connected devices stay connected to my main network without having to switch between my main or extended network manually. As soon as I move from downstairs to upstairs, my phone switches to the extended. This makes the process very easy for all people in my home. If you are looking for a new extender for your home, consider this one as one of your choices. Setting it up was very simple. I didnt need to wire it to my router to set up. I first plugged in this extender close to my router. Then, I opened the TP-link app (of course you need to make an account which is free and simple) and identified the extender to the account on the app. After all that, I could set it up with my network nad entered in the password. Finally, I could unplug the extender and decide on where to place it in my house. If you need help deciding where to plug it in, the app helps you by letting you knoe if the extender is too far from the router or if you can place it even further. TP-Link has been a pretty good brand for the most part. Good customer service and easy to use products. Overall, a great experience.

Es un equipo muy estable, no se cae la señal. Lo estoy usando en extender una red WiFi y la instalación es facil y rapida. Desde que lo instale no he tenido que meterle mano o cambiar algo, ha funcionado meses sin problemas y siendo estable, incluso cuando ha fallado la electricidad. El acabado es muy robusto.
