Disclaimers
- †Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Higher capacity is based on laboratory test data, which analyzed the connections of different devices on the 5 GHz, and 2.4 GHz bands simultaneously. These devices simulated a typical home scenario by running simultaneous applications in the same room that included 4K video, 1080p video, 720p video, file downloading, web browsing, IP cameras, and other IoT devices.
- ‡The product may not be compatible with routers or gateways with firmware that has been altered, is based on open source programs, or is non-standard orl outdated.
- §Uninterrupted Streaming is designed for devices that support the 802.11k/v standard.
- △Use of Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), and features including Multi-Link Operation (MLO), 320 MHz Bandwidth, 4K-QAM, Multi-RU, OFDMA, and MU-MIMO requires clients to also support the corresponding features. The 320 MHz bandwidth is only available on the 6 GHz band. Simultaneously, the 320 MHz bandwidth on the 6 GHz band and 160 MHz bandwidth on the 5 GHz band may be unavailable in some regions/countries due to regulatory restrictions.
- ◇Saving clients' battery power requires clients to also support the 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard. Actual power reduction may vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors.
- *TP-Link EasyMesh-compatible products can network with other devices that use EasyMesh. Failed connections may be due to firmware conflicts of different vendors. The EasyMesh-compatible function is still being developed on some models and will be supported in subsequent software updates. This product is compatible with standardized EasyMesh technology but has not obtained the Wi-Fi EasyMeshTM certification.
- **Wi-Fi generations represent the wireless standard IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be. All devices need to support 802.11 Wi-Fi protocols.
- Actual network speed may be limited by the rate of the product's Ethernet WAN or LAN port, the rate supported by the network cable, Internet service provider factors and other environmental conditions.

Works great with our existing TP Link router.
We have a TP-Link - BE15000 as our main router for our home internet. It does a great job for the most part of covering our entire home with a good WIFI signal. We recently did a little remodeling and had one of our kids move down to a room in our basement. They are a big online gamer and had complained that the internet is slow. We decided to get one of these and put it in the basement to see if it would help get some faster speeds in the basement. Out of the box this thing almost looks like a small drone with the 4 different antennas sticking out of it. If you are worried about it covering both your outlets, don’t be, if you plug it into your top outlet, the bottom outlet is still easily accessible. The setup couldn’t have been any easier. We already had the Tether app installed and an account set up since we have a TP Link device as our main router. So, all we had to do was open up the app, click add a new device, and after a couple seconds it easily found our new range extender and got it connected and all set up for us. From opening the box to being up and ready to go it was probably less than 10 minutes. We placed this pretty much right below where our main router sits, but on the lower level of our house. Almost immediately we saw a huge jump in speeds, both upload and download. We have a 1 Meg internet service and they claim we should get about 30Mbps upload. Before we installed this, we were getting about 150-200 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload on the computer that was in the kids basement room. Now we are getting 300-400 Mbps download and 25-30 Mbps upload. So, it basically doubled our speed in that section of the house. I also love that this one can take advantage of Wi-Fi 7 for even faster speeds than most range extenders can. It does also have an ethernet port on it as well if you want to use it to hard wire to a computer or laptop, or anything that has a ethernet port. Another big bonus is that our security cameras that we have on the back of the house now work a lot better too because they are now getting their signal from the extender instead of the main router. Overall, I am extremely happy with this range extender. It definitely exceeded my expectations as far as speed increase goes, and was very easy to set up, especially if you are already using a TP Link router.

Powerful Wi-Fi Range Extender with Easy Setup
TP-Link is a manufacturer headquartered in Irvine, California that is well established for offering Wi-Fi routers & range extenders. This review is for the just-released range extender: TP-Link Model # RE-405BE. It is part of the TP-Link BE6500 family of Wi-Fi 7 collection of routers & range extenders. This is important to note, because identifying it just by BE6500 will produce search data on the router with the same model number. The RE-405BE is a powerful, dual band range extender. I have 5) eero Max 7 routers in a 5,000 square foot house, but the garage has been a dead area. I plugged this range extender in an outlet in my garage after a very easy set-up. Eero mesh network routers do not have a WPS button ("Wi-Fi Protected Setup") due to security concerns. Not to worry, if your router does not have a WPS button, you can set it up using the Tether App, or via a Web Browser. I chose the Web Browser, which took 2 minutes to complete. Security cameras inside & outside of my garage became highly responsive immediately after activating this range extender! The 2.4 Ghz & 5 Ghz Wi-Fi signal strength in my garage are strong now & the security cameras do not miss any movement! CONCLUSION: This TP-Link Range Extender exceeded my expectations by dramatically improving performance in a Wi-Fi dead area & earns my highest recommendation.
