    It works well at my house! I placed it about 80 ft from the router, halfway to the garage where I need the signal to be. My phone gets 2/3 bars.

    The signal booster beast deliveres what is promised. You're smoothly guided step by step for the setup. I get download speeds so fast, a 100+ gb game downloads within 30 minutes. This is a definite buy for those too far from their modem/router.

    Extender experienced a hardware failure after 6 months. Randomly shut off and wouldn’t come back on, now it’s a paper weight. Save your money and buy something else.

    Extremely Happy With Purchase, Very Capable Machi

    I purchased this after moving into a bigger house where the internet router and modem signal does not reach throughout the entire house. Set up is incredibly easy and once it is calibrated you can move the device virtually anywhere throughout the house as long as it catches a strong enough signal to the modem and router to then push it's signal reach farther. I has options for both 2.4hz and 5hz ( 4g and 5g ) and works perfectly for a multitude of devices on it all at the same time. I have had it for years now without any issues. I would seriously be doomed in my household without this thing.

      Hi,

      Thank you for your review. If you haven't noticed a significant improvement in Wi-Fi coverage after installing the extender, we recommend relocating the unit to a position within your home where the router's Wi-Fi signal is sufficiently strong; yet far enough from the router to effectively extend its range. Please verify the RE status LED is indicating a solid connection.

      We also recommend ensuring the extender's firmware is fully up to date using the steps outlined in FAQ 1406 on our official website: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1406/

      If these steps do not ultimately provide a solution to your goal (extending Wi-Fi to your shop), we would suggest considering one of our outdoor Wi-Fi solutions, such as our Deco Outdoor, or EAP-Outdoor models.

      If you would like assistance with any of these steps, please reach out to our support team using any of the resources included with the product, or from our official website, and we'll gladly have a Support Agent follow up with you directly.

      Thank you,
      TP-Link Support tplink

    EASY TO USE STURDY HIGH PERFORMANCE WIFI6 REPEATER

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    MODEL REVIEWED TP LINK - RE705X AX3000 MESH WIFI 6 EXTENDER HEADLINE: EASY TO USE STURDY HIGH PERFORMANCE WIFI6 REPEATER SETUP I found the TP LINK - RE705X to be one of the easiest TP Link devices to set up yet. I’m old fashioned and like to use my browser to work directly on the router interface instead of through an app on my phone. Fortunately, TP Link thought of that and tells you how to do that on their quick start guide instead of hunting around. Using the web interface setup wizard it asked me what 5Ghz network I wanted to connect to, and then what 2Ghz network. Next it asked what name I wanted to use for the extender and we were all set. I did have to go to my main router and find what IP was assigned so I could go back in and update the firmware and fine tuner my settings. I also appreciate the little touches like the ability to turn the LED’s on or off. USAGE What I primarily needed the TP LINK - RE705X for, was to get a little extra range on my outdoor patio, where I’ve been working lately while the weather is nice. I installed it under my kitchen sink (which is closest to my outside wall). Which allowed me good signal pickup of at least 20 ft away from the house. As with any repeater there is always a little drop off in speed between the native signal and the repeated signal. My first test was to test the TP LINK - RE705X right next to my main indoor workspace just to see how much (or in this case how little) overhead the repeater added. Without the TP LINK - RE705X my speed 480Mb/s. With the repeater in the exact same spot my speed was 330Mb/s on the 5Ghz band, and 150Mb/s on the 2Ghz band. A 20% drop is actually very good for a repeater. My next test was with me outside and the TP LINK - RE705X inside (under the sink). In this case I was able to achieve roughly 150Mbps/5Ghz and 50Mbps/2Ghz. For my needs, this is plenty good enough and 10 X faster than I was achieving without the TP LINK - RE705X. Eventually, I’ll run a wire to the TP LINK - RE705X and change it to AP mode instead of repeater mode. I like that the TP LINK - RE705X supports both modes. In AP mode I should be able to get full speed as well as control what channels the AP is operating on. I do wish the wired port was faster, as home networks and the internet are getting faster than 1Gbps which is the wired speed of the TP LINK - RE705X. SUMMARY The TP LINK - RE705X is the easiest and lowest latency repeaters I have tested. I hope to use it for a long time. WiFi6 rocks if your full network supports it.

    Speeds are impressive for a range extender

    I recently installed the TP-Link AX3000 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Range Extender in my home, and it has made a noticeable difference in coverage and speed. Setup was simple, and it paired easily with my existing router. Areas that previously had weak or spotty Wi-Fi now get a strong, reliable signal, and the dual-band capability helps keep multiple devices running smoothly at once. The range extender itself is sleek and unobtrusive in its white finish, and having a Gigabit Ethernet port is a nice bonus for connecting devices that need a wired connection. Speeds are impressive for a range extender, and it handles high-bandwidth activities like streaming and video calls without lag. It’s definitely not the cheapest option out there, but for the performance and reliability it delivers, the TP-Link AX3000 is worth the investment. It’s made managing my home network much easier and effectively eliminates the dead zones that were frustrating before.
