Customer Ratings & Reviews

My internet provider said they would no longer support the Wi-Fi extender that I purchased from them years ago. They have a proprietary setup so you cannot plug in a third-party extender. Of course, I could pay $10 monthly for them to install and maintain a system of theirs. No! So, I started looking at Range Extenders. I ordered the TP-Link - AX3000. Before I installed it, I used my provider's app to go through my house and see how strong the signal was with their Wi-Fi extender. They have three levels of strength denoted by color—green, yellow, and red. Some of my house was green, and some areas were yellow. The front yard was yellow, and the backyard was completely red. There was no signal in the backyard. After I installed the TP-Link range extender, I ran the same tests. The signal strength was green all through the house and into the front yard AND backyard. I had to get about 40-50 ft. out in my backyard before the signal turned yellow. I have had zero issues with the TP-Link range extender and the installation was easy.

Great extender, Easy hook up. We needed a solution to get our floodlight camera to work again after changing Wi-Fi. The floodlight was about 35 ft away from the router. We placed the extender in the garage near a window and now have great signal outside.

Bought to extend wifi to a different floor than main router is on. Works great amd was easy to setup.

I dont leave many reviews but!!! This Is A Must Buy! I purchased xfinity Xfi Pods to help my ring doorbell devices get a better signal. They were horrible did not even connect or help. I googled best extender and this was rated 1. When i got it setup was super fast with the app. It immediately connected and improved the signal. I did have to move the extender around the house to get the best signal example: bedroom, bathroom, garage. I found the garage provided the best reception. There is a test signal option in the app that tells you if your extender is in a good spot. Once i found the golden spot it was perfect and unbelievable speeds. Highly recommended.

I needed a way to get a Wifi internet connection out to the computer in my outside shop, which has sheet metal walls and roof. The shop is about 60 feet away from my router, and would not get a signal at all. I plugged the WiFi extender in close to my router and got it working in just a few minutes using the WPS setup method (took longer for the power light to go solid, than the connection process). After that, I plugged the extender into a inside wall outlet that is about 25 feet from the shop wall. I turned on the computer in the shop and found that I was getting 3 bars on my WiFi connection. Needless to say I am very pleased with my TP-Link Extender. I would highly recommend it.

Very cool concept for Wi-Fi extension and tethering devices to your network. We have a 3300 sq ft house with our router in a bedroom upstairs. Down stairs away from the router we have two TV’s and Sonos audio along with some smart lights. We also sometimes work from our laptops downstairs so we do require decent bandwidth from our home to power all devices. We have three people living here full time all with smart phones and tablets / laptops / smart televisions. Our current internet plan is for up to two hundred gigabytes and testing shows we get more or get less depending. We did not experience drop outs in our Wi-Fi probably because our 3300sq Ft home is two stories so the routers signal travels through everything. Anyways that’s our living situation so we got this Wi-Fi extender hoping that we would notice a difference or at least to make our signal stronger. It was very easy to set up you simply plug it into your router and then you plug it half way between your router and the rest of your home. After testing the signal I determined that we maintain a constant signal in the downstairs area much better then prior installation. We feel comfortable streaming on multiple devices without fear of a drop out. The unit looks nice and is not no I able except at night there is a blue light that illuminates on the side of the unit. The packing was nice and the instructions were simple which I appreciated. I would recommend to a friend and for the price I think it’s good insurance for your homes media especially if you live in a larger home.

Was very easy to set up. Carries our WiFi signal out to our garage which was the location that needed extension.

Product works great. Easy to setup. Took a few minutes to sync with my router. Wifi extends all through my home.

The setup wasn’t to complicated in my opinion and was easy to understand. Surprised it can reach as far as it reached. Only thing is that the app can be a bit buggy but usually closing out of it and going back in fixes it. Had it for 2 months and has been really good so far.

>> Overview The TP-Link RE705X Wi-Fi 6 AX3000 Dual Band Range Extender does its job at extending and enhancing your Wi-Fi coverage. I use it for areas where the signal is not as good as desired, as well as for some dead zones outside my house, areas where we gather with friends and family and where good Wi-Fi support comes in handy. Connecting the device with your router through WPS is as easy as it gets. The RE705X is easy to move around to try different coverage configurations, just needs a power outlet and connectivity to the main router and that’s it. - Pros: very good and reliable signal. - Cons: couldn’t configure using Tether App, a little too heavy. >> Setup Do yourself a favor and just use the WPS Button method to connect the TP-Link extender to your router. When I opened the box, I looked at the “Quick Installation Guide” and chose to follow the Tether App method to configure the Extender, as it seemed to be the more prominent or noticeable method in the booklet. I had to download the Tether App on my phone and create an account at the TP-Link site, which I didn’t want to do at first, but ended up doing anyways, in order to use the App. Next, I followed the instructions in the App to add the Extender to the list of device, then I gave the Wi-Fi password for the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands and finished the setup, or so I thought. But no, the TP-Link RE705X Extender wouldn’t connect to my Linksys Hydra AX6000 router at all. I tried setting it up multiple times, removed the device, added the device, placed it close to the router, placed it side to side, etc., to no avail. Finally, I chose the WPS Button technique, and it connected right away! In summary, just save some time, and also save yourself the burden of adding a TP-Link account if you already don’t have one, and use the WPS method. Perhaps the only trouble you might have is keeping the RE505X from falling when plugged in to your wall electrical outlets. I might need to replace them since so far, there is no electrical outlet that can hold the device, which is a little heavy, in place. Perhaps I will use some extension cords. >> Placement and Signal What matters most at the end of the day for extenders is how fast, strong, and reliable the signal is for the devices connecting to it. My main goal in getting the TP-Link Extender was to allow the opposite side of the house of where the main router is placed, to get a better Wi-Fi experience. I tried different locations for the Extender, and I still need to perform a few tests before I finally settle on where to place the Extender. I currently have the device in the corner of the house where the Wi-Fi signal from the main router is the weakest (not a dead zone, but the Wi-Fi there feels wacky.) I am surprise, it has been between a 3x and 5x increase in download speeds and reliability, both inside and outside the house. Dead zones outside the house are reachable now as well. I have connected phones and laptops to the Extender with good results; however, our main use for the Extender has been connecting the TV on that corner of the house to it. That TV is located in our main entertainment area, given that it is a big room we use it for hanging out with our friends and family and together like to watch online videos. So far, the TV has been connecting beyond our expectations, no loss of connectivity, no more video buffering issues, no more pixelated videos. Watching Netflix and YouTube and other Roku apps on that TV has been a pleasant experience. Even my friends have noticed the improvement (they were not aware I had the Extender.) Besides being useful for our family/friends’ room TV, other reason to place the RE705X Extender in the farthest corner of the house was to cover the outside of the house where we have our patio and where we also frequently hang out with friends and family. That area is getting good Wi-Fi coverage now. I am planning on using a projector in the patio to watch videos over Wi-Fi in the Summer, now that we have the Extender we won’t be needing any network cables. That being said, I am still going to do some tests and place the Extender a little closer to the router for hopefully faster speeds. My goal is to have at least 150Mbps in the patio area, and with this device, it seems possible to do so. Finally, just to throw some specific numbers, I have a 600Mbps internet connection (well max connection, not that speed all the time.) The main router is on the second floor, and the Extender on the opposite side of the house on the first floor, around 45ft or so apart crossing a few walls. In one test, I positioned my phone about 4 feet on top of the Extender and connected both to the router and to the Extender. When connecting to the router I got around 21Mbps, and when connecting to the Extender, I got around 108Mbps, about a 5x improvement! Other tests, placing the router in different locations and connecting devices at different distances away from it, have shown between 3x to 5x improvement.

The TP-Link AX3000 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Range Extender is a highly recommended device for expanding and enhancing home Wi-Fi networks. With its easy setup process, sleek design, and advanced features such as Wi-Fi 6 technology and beamforming, it provides excellent coverage and reliable performance. The extender offers fast speeds, stable connections, and the ability to support multiple devices simultaneously, making it a worthwhile investment for anyone seeking to improve their Wi-Fi signal throughout their home.

I cannot say enough about this extender. Super easy setup and fills the wi-fi gap perfectly and lots of settings to dial it in to your liking. I’m using it with T-Mobile home internet in case you have it and are wondering if it will work, it does very well. Don’t pay T-Mobile for their mesh add on it does not work as well and over just a few months buying this and not paying them it’s paid for itself and you have a better situation. Get one try it I bet you don’t return it.

Super fast speed easy setup with a helpful app to walk you through everything

Great range extender and easy to set-up. Great range that extends to the backyard.

Extremely easy to set up and boosts signal much further than i had anticipated! Also, has convenient having both chanels that are ready to go upon setup. Great product.

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.

Purchased for upstairs bonus room that had almost zero coverage. Placing the unit between the router and bonus room, coverage has improved significantly. Very easy to set up. Only issue is needing to switch between networks rather than the mesh systems that do that automatically. But a way cheaper option then the mesh systems.

Easy to install with clear instructions. It works great with a full signal in all areas.

Extremely easy to set up and run. Very pleases with performance!

Including my finished basement , where my office is located, I have four floors of my home for my wifi to reach throughout. I also work remotely from home so I have had issues with holding video calls from my office as the modem & router can only be located on the top floor due to the wiring in my home. You will need to plug it in first right next to your modem and router for it to connect, then you can move it wherever you want. Once I plugged it in I immediately attempted a video call in my basement. Initially I did not notice much difference, however it has seemed to improve over time. None of my video calls have been dropped in the basement office, and another good thing about it is that the app helps you locate an ideal location for the wifi extender. All in all, it seems to be adding some efficiency and speed to our home wifi, and with four floors, several iPads, smart TVs, Alexa devices, smart appliances, laptops, and smartphones. I can't say it is a huge game changer worth the higher price tag (I feel), but it is decent and does the job for sure.
