A great extender. Awesome signal upstairs and down stairs. Use it with phones and laptops with no loss of connection and speed.

This is a solid range extender, although I do find that the mesh capability is a bit slow when handing off your signal from one unit to another. The range is also not very excellent, especially since I recommend lowering the broadcast power to the lowest setting to prevent the unit from overheating. If you keep it on the lowest setting and place it in a good location, everything will work fine. It likely needs additional firmware updates to get the best results.

WiFi 6E + OneMesh = Fast and Flexible

Impressive speeds, but be sure to note that 6GHz naturally cannot travel as far 5GHz (which already has less range than 2.4GHz). If you want to ensure that you are leveraging the 6GHz channel as a backhaul for OneMesh, then make sure you check the Tether app to confirm the PHY speeds your getting on the 6GHz channel and move the extender a bit closer to optimize performance if necessary. Using an AXE5400 wifi card, I’m seeing speeds in excess of 1Gb/s when accessing an NVMe SSD connected via a USB adapter directly linked to my router. At most
I’ve seen 1.2Gb/s through 5GHz at 30-40 feet away through a floor. My iPhone 13 Pro Max maxes (ba-dum-tisss) out at around 800Mb/s with this new setup, but expect a bit less under realistic conditions.
I’m using a TP-Link AXE300 router with 3 of these extenders and the lowest speeds I’m seeing indoors ranges from 200-350MB/s. My house has thick stone walls that transition into wooden siding above the stone, but the wooden siding has metal sheeting under it. With that said, I will not comment on outdoor performance as my house is essentially a faraday cage that wifi cannot escape and cell service cannot enter.
The good news is that the AXE300 router and these extenders support OneMesh, so the TP-Link PowerLine WiFi extender that I already have still integrates seamlessly with this setup and allows me to have usable WiFi outdoors.

My old Linksys was better

I got this product in July 2024 to replace my five year old linksys extender. I read really good reviews about this product and I wanted to upgrade so I bought it. I place it exactly in the old spot as the older one. Easy set up and connection to my Wi-Fi router was 100 percent. However, it didn't provide any better connection to my smart TVs, computer or smart voice radio. It gets disconnected most of the day and I have to unplug and connect again to the power outlet. I can't depend on this extender to have a zoom meeting because it doesn't provide fast enough downloads or uploads. I would return it if I could and buy another Linksys system.

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 extend its range effectively. 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 you would like assistance with any of these steps, please contact 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

This works great. Placed it on the complete other side of my house and it was real easy to get it to mesh with my router. This was a great purchase helped me get a stronger signal on that side of my home for devices to connect to my network

I was looking for a range extender option for quite a while now. This one checked all the boxes that I was looking for: stable, high speed, one app ecosystem, configurability. This one was easy to set up and get started but allowed all of the configuring in advanced options that I like to update. So far it’s been rock solid after initial setup and the only time I had issues was when an anti dog barking thing we tried caused a lot of interference with the WiFi (not at fault of the extender)
I tried several extender options previously from netgear, but they all required different apps, websites, etc to get them to work. Some of the previous attempts were ok but frequently required restarting or unplugging/replugging. Some were too slow.
I really recommend this as it’s been stable enough to extend my T-Plink Archer router to the far side of my house and get perfect bandwidth and stability.
The only downside was that it was a bit pricey when I purchased, but I quickly found out that I got what I paid for.

The Extender was worth it. It allowed me to extend my signal to my detached garage so I could have strong enough signal to setup MyQ and Ring Camera. Others I tried simply weren't quite strong enough or had spotty connection issues.
Setup was easy and the app allows me to configure it the way I like. It's solid and well built. It's also heavier than most and a bit big. It does take an entire outlet but it definitely does the job.
