TP-Link - AC2600 Wi-Fi Range Extender - White
- Key Specs
- Wi-Fi Speed: 800 gigabits per second (The maximum rate at which data is transferred between a network device and wireless router.)
- Wireless Standard: AC, N (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Wi-Fi Range: 14000 square feet (The device will provide a Wi-Fi connection to this approximate area.)
- Form Factor: Plug-in (The size, arrangement, and physical configuration of the product.)
- Band Technology: Dual (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Antenna Type: External
- Number of Antennas: 4
- Number of LAN Ports: 1 (Number of devices able to be connected to the Local Area Network (LAN). LAN ports allow wired connections to other networking devices (wireless access points, range extenders, etc.) in order to share the internet connection received through a WAN port.)
- Number of PoE (Power over Ethernet) Ports: 1 (Allow connection of a single cable that provides both data connection and electrical power (Power over Ethernet).)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 5 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)

- Quick Installation Guide
A: It depends on the construction of your house Concrete and metal will make it more difficult. I will say that this is the best unit for extending WiFi that I have ever purchased. And I have purchased many.
Q: Can you use the existing name and password as my existing router
A: Absolutely! During setup, you will be given the option to "copy" or "clone" your router's existing WiFi name and password for a unified WiFi extension experience. We recommend using our intuitive TP-Link Tether on your smartphone. Regards, TP-Link Support
Q: Does this replace the router from my cable company
A: No, it does extend the range of your current router though!
A: That distance is quite significant, especially with brick obstruction in between. Please note this WiFi extender is intended to expand WiFi coverage within a home. For WiFi extenders to operate optimally, they should be installed in an area where your router's WiFi signal is sufficiently strong, yet far enough from the router to extend its range. If you are attempting to achieve long distance, point-to-point connectivity, we suggest considering our outdoor CPE solutions instead.
A: Yes, you can use multiple WiFi extenders within the same network.
A: Yes, the extender is universally compatible with WiFi routers. The extender's ability to expand your existing connection depends on your router's existing signal strength. We always recommend installing the extender in a position within your home where the router's WiFi signal is sufficiently strong; yet far enough from the router to effectively extend its range.
A: Show as the WIFI you currently have.
A: The roaming behavior of each WiFi client (i.e. phone, laptop, etc.) is the responsibility of each WiFi client. WiFi roaming is purely a client (smartphone, TV, computer, tablet, etc.) decision. The wireless client is responsible for deciding it needs to roam, and then detecting, evaluating, and roaming to an alternative WiFi source nearby. The efficiency of each WiFi device's roaming will vary depending on the capabilities of each WiFi device. For the most seamless WiFi experience, we suggest considering one of our Deco Mesh WiFi options.
