Customer Ratings & Reviews

The TP-LINK BE11000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Range Extender (RE655BE) is the solution you’re looking for! The ease of setup with an EasyMesh network via the Tether App from TP-LINK makes this a no-brainer. It has all of the bandwidth and throughput to satisfy your home networking needs, plus the 2.5Gbps LAN (Ethernet) port offers expandability where you need it. Some may balk at the price, but it will meet or exceed your expectations. I highly recommend this product, especially if you’re already using TP-LINK routers for your home WiFi & networking.

Easy set up and great range. It synced with my curtsy TP-Link router no problem.

I got this WiFi 7 extender to improve my Internet speeds in my basement, where I have my consoles setup. My main router is on the first floor and it had no problems connecting. With a gigabit switch connected to the extender, I'm able to get near gigabit speeds between the router and extender. No more slow speeds over wifi thanks to this device.

This little Star Wars AT-AT Walker looking thing resolved all my virtual connection issues. This was the boost I needed to be able to video conference & share my screen without failures in connection. LOVE it!

This wifi 7 extender works great. There are no other wifi 7 extenders available from what I can see. Iam connecting to the Netgear wifi 7 router.

Excellent connection no lagging price tho great product

TP-Link has a nice looking Wi-Fi extender with the BE11000. Its not too large and works very well. The BE11000 supports Wi-Fi 7 and the antennas are powerful enough to work enough if a few walls are between it and your router. Form Factor The BE11000 is about the length of my hand. Its case is plastic as are the antennas. Its weight is not bad which is good considering that the power plug is built into the bottom of it. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a barrel connector port or 3 prong port on it to connect a power adapter or power cable. The 3 prong AC plug is built into it an I have to plug the extender directly into the wall outlet or directly into a surge protector. This design does save space for those who can plug it directly into a wall outlet, but for some, that might not be an option and they would be having to plug it into a surge protector, which would cover up some of the outlets on the surge protector), or they would need to use an extension cable. This is really the only complaint I have with the BE11000 Range Extender. Performance The range extender performs well. It replaced a range extender that didn't have full signal strength to my router. The TP-Link extender has a strong signal even though I have it even farther away from my router than my last extender. All of my computers and devices in my office, where I placed the extender, have full signal to the extender which has a full signal connection to my router. Performance is much better with this extender than it was with my previous one. It is supporting 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz frequencies. It also supports MLO. This extender works great with the BE800. App The Tether app is what I used to setup the extender. I tried using WPS, but that didn't work. The Tether app made it easy to get the extender connected to my BE800 router. The Tether app is a great way to manage and monitor the performance of connected devices. I've been using it ever since I bought my BE800 last year. The app shows both the router and the extender and I can see how many clients are connected to the extender as well as dive into it to see the client list along with the bandwidth being used by each client. I can also set priority devices there. I've set my TV streaming device to be priority as well as my Xbox and gaming computer. Overall Impressions I really like the BE11000 extender. My truck can now get network signal to check for software updates which it could not due with my previous extender due to the signal not reaching far enough outside. With the BE11000 that is no longer a problem. Speed has been good with connections through the extender and the Tether app supports it. The app is something I use often to monitor connected devices, so I'm glad TP-Link took the time to add the features they have to it. I think people will be happy with the performance, but some may not be with the plug being built-in. The built-in plug is really the only complaint I have about it, but I was able to find an empty electrical outlet to plug it into. At least the design is such that it doesn't cover up the second socket in the outlet so I can still plug things into that. Other than that, I like what TP-Link has done with the BE11000 Wi-Fi Range Extender.

The Set-up was really easy. One BIG Fault. The Plug Tongs are way to thin to have it not fall out of the electrical wall power outlet, (the wall power outlets I have are new). One wish is to have more than one Ethernet Port.

This Wi-Fi extender is a great addition to our home network. We struggled with coverage for our wireless outdoor cameras being able to have a stable connection to our network. This extender was easy to setup and has made sure that our Wi-Fi extends to reach those outdoor cameras now. It was very easy to setup too, I was able to use the WPS method to easily connect to my router, and that was pretty much it. It was ready to go. Using TP-Link's tether app, I was able to find the best location for the extender as well. It will let you know if you're too close, or too far from the router for a strong connection. Having support for multiple bands throughout (and outside) of our house has made things much easier. If you're already using and EasyMesh router, this will be a great addition as well, since it is compatible. Moving you betweent he router or extender seamlessly. I've had videos playing on my phone as I moved through, and outside, our house and not having any problems as I transitioned between devices. Pros: Easy setup, great speeds, multiple band support, excellent addition to a Wi-Fi 7 network, great app, easy to find the optimal location for the extender Cons: A bit pricier than other extenders, but you get many more features and an improved connection for the extra that you may pay

Wifi Dead spots are a thing of the past with this extender... We will get to that later. So I own the Deco mesh BE1600 with a total of 3 points. I have excellent coverage with three points and I am running WiFi 7 MLO 6 GHz with Gig fiber optic Internet service. Max wired up and down is 900/800 Mbps. Wireless MLO WiFi 7 I get pretty darn close to being wired. So to rest this extender I took out my 2 points and kept my main point on. Setup was super easy. 3 options. 1 WPS, 2 use the app, 3 login directly to the point. I chose the WPS and I was all set within 5 mins or so. So I went the the notorious area in my house that is known to have dead spots that I strategically place the extender in between. I also turned on the MLO function on the extender and was running all 3 frequencies with MLO and I got pretty good up and down for a wireless extender. 500 down and about 200 up. If you want full throttle you need to have it connected to a LAN cable back to the main point but wireless to wireless extender that isn't to bad at all. And if you are in a pinch to just get signal to a certain part of your house for cheap then this is they way to go. I would recommend this product for its intent to wirelessly extend wifi. The the best part it is ready for Wi-Fi 7.

The TP-Link RE665BE Range Extender combines easy setup with excellent performance. Setup I'm using the RE665BE with a TP-Link Archer BE11000 Pro WiFi 7 router. Setup was extremely easy using the WPS buttons on router and range extender as described in the quick start guide. The RE665BE appears as a mesh device in the Archer BE11000 router configuration. I added a router DHCP address reservation for the range extender so its web-based management interface always appears at the same IPv4 address. Performance Our fiber internet service provides 500 Mbps for both download and upload. Internet speed tests were done with a cell phone that supports WiFi 6 and 500 Mbps download and upload rates. Before relocating the router, the performance of a WiFi connection from the desired location to the router was verified to be at least 150 Mbps as recommended. Internet speed tests showed about 200 Mbps. I'm using the range extender for WiFi coverage in media and game rooms. The nearest game room wall is about 30 feet from the router, and the range extender is plugged into an outlet on that wall near the baseboard. The media room is on the opposite side of the game room from the router, with the far wall of the media room being about 40 feet from the range extender, 70 feet from the router. Internet speed tests showed 460 Mbps download and upload when standing a few feet from the range extender in the game room. It is amazing to me that I get that through a range extender that is 30 feet from the router, when I could only get about 200 Mbps connected to the router when standing where the range extender is located. It's even more amazing when you realize that on a line of sight between router and range extender are five walls, a bathroom mirror and a closet with metal shelving. This less than ideal obstruction situation is reflected in the RE665BE mid-level signal strength reported by the router. Ping latency through the range extender is 12 or 13 ms, as opposed to 9 or 10 ms when connected directly to the router. In the media room about 45 feet from the range extender, internet speed tests show about 300/200 Mbps download/upload. Without the range extender I was able to connect to the router from this location, but peformance was erratic and did not support video streaming. I have a Roku at the far end of the media room, about 40 feet from the range extender. It uses a WiFi connection to the range extender and has been working perfectly for several days now. I've used YouTube TV, Netflix, Max and Prime Video with no problems. The YouTube TV app is responsive, I'm not experiencing delays due to latency or buffering. Summary I had a separate router in our media room that was used as an access point, and thought that I might return to that because it gives me best case WiFi performance in the media room. Instead, I plan to continue using the RE665BE because the performance so good and I no longer have to worry about connecting to a different SSID in the media room. The RE665BE is extremely easy to pair with a compatible router, and the performance is excellent. It's fair to say that it exceeded my expectations, and is definitely a recommended option if you want to expand WiFi coverage from an EasyMesh compatible device.

Recently I had the opportunity to review the TP Link Archer BE11000 Pro wireless router and was happy for an opportunity to review the TP Link WiFI 7 range extender. I have a brick home with an addition on the back of the garage so getting WiFi out there is a task. Since I already have the BE11000 Pro router I could use the Tether app. It was honestly the easiest setup with an app I have ever had! The range extender is “Easy Mesh” so the app has you start off plugging in the extender close to the router. That’s it. Plug it in and wait for the app to set it up. Once it connects to the router you can just walk to where you want it plug it in and wait for it to connect. If the led’s turn blue it’s in range, if not red. Super easy! The issue for me was that I could not get it in range to cover the wifi set up. That is specifically because my house is brick. For reference, my house is about 1300 sq fr and finished basement so the router is in the basement on the north side and the extender on the south side of the house. The coverage was perfect, but I needed not where I needed it. So I utilized an ethernet connection. When I went into Tether (the app) it was already set up and working! Overall the wifi coverage at house is good with just the router and one extender. I plan to add one more extender to my system and will probably never have to think about the network until the next upgrade! I really like this product and will recommend it ti my friends!

TLDR: The TP-Link BE11000 Range Extender is a must-have for those with spotty Wi-Fi coverage. The external antennas make a huge difference in coverage and the dedicated 2.5Gb ethernet port makes for rock solid communications. KEY SPECS Tri-Band (2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz) 1 x 2.5Gb LAN port Easy Mesh Compatible 10.8Gbps Theoretical Throughput SET-UP Initial set-up is relatively painless and straight forward. Even folks with limited networking skills can handle set-up of the BE11000. All configuration is handled via TP-Link’s intuitive Tether app. I find the Tether app very comprehensive and easy to navigate. There is next to no stress getting the BE11000 up and running. The Tether app walks you through the entire process. From copying your Wi-Fi SSID and password, to backhaul options, to firmware updates, the Tether app works and works well. The BE11000 is EasyMesh compatible. For those unaware, EasyMesh is not a TP-Link protocol, it was developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance with the hopes of simplifying setting up a mesh network for the average user. End users are no longer forced to buy all their devices from one manufacturer to add to or set-up a mesh system in their homes or offices. Products compatible with the EasyMesh standard all (supposedly) play nice with each other regardless of the manufacturer. I did not have the opportunity to try this, as my BE11000 is being used in conjunction with TP-Link’s BE11000 Pro router. One thing that I must mention, that always seems to burn folks, is the placement of the extender. Not just this BE11000, but any range extender. Unless you have a dedicated ethernet backhaul to your primary router, for a range extender to work its best, you need to put it ½ way between where you want Wi-Fi and where you have Wi-Fi. Moving it too far away from your main router ruins performance and throughput. TP-Link is one of the few manufacturers that explicitly spells this out and I applaud them for it. I’ve had dozens of friends and family call me through the years over this exact issue. They put their range extenders where they want Wi-Fi, not halfway in between and it is just too far away from the main router and the range extenders won’t work. PERFORMANCE As much as I love my BE11000 Pro router, it struggles to get strong Wi-Fi to my detached workshop / garage. My devices will connect via 2.4GHz to my main router but trying to squeeze a ton a data to a dozen devices in my shop, left me wanting. Fortunately, when I built my workshop, I used my brain for once and ran hardwired ethernet to it. It was a perfect spot for the BE11000 range extender. I queued up the Tether app and went to work. The app found the range extender nearly immediately and began the installation process. I programmed the BE1100 to use the 2.5Gb ethernet port as a dedicated backhaul to the BE11000 Pro router, thereby freeing up all available bands for use by clients (without a hardwired, dedicated backhaul, the BE11000 will use part of its available Wi-Fi bands and bandwidth for backhaul to the main router). Speeds are now what I always hoped they would have been. Instead of my computers and Roku talking to the main router on the 2.4GHz band, they can now all access the 5 and/or 6GHz bands. Speeds have increased 10-fold for me. My PC’s, tablets, and Roku were struggling to maintain 40 – 60Mbs before the range extender on a good day. Between the distance to the main router and the congested Wi-Fi bands in my subdivision, it just made it difficult to achieve good, solid throughput. Now, my PC has no problems hitting 700Mbs or more. Not only do I have a HUGE increase in throughput, but my other IOT devices are much happier now, as well. These low performance devices struggled to maintain their connection at the distances I have them placed at. Now, there is no issues. Everything just works better and more reliably now. As a bonus, because this is now part of an Easy Mesh system, my SSID and password get carried over between devices and my phones, tablets, etc. all roam and switch seamlessly between router and range extender. The handoffs happen all in the background with no interruptions or issues. FINAL THOUGHTS The external antennas on the BE11000 range extender make a huge difference in coverage. I wish more Wi-Fi routers used them. If you are lucky enough to have a network port close to the BE11000 you can use for it to talk back to the main router, I think you will love the range extender. Speeds are very fast. Easily able to take full advantage of my gigabit ethernet. Add the Easy Mesh compatibility to the BE11000 and TP-Link has a solid winner on its hands. The Easy Mesh makes it so convenient for others that aren’t already on the TP-Link ecosystem to take advantage of their offerings. The BE11000 Range Extender packs a plethora of features in one tidy package. Sporting all the latest Wi-Fi specs and tech, it is hard to beat this extender. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I've been using the TP-Link BE11000 WiFi 7 Extender for the last week. The BE11000 is part of TP-Link’s rollout of the newest Wi-Fi 7 devices. I paired this extender with a TP-Link Archer BE6500 WiFi 7 router that I have also reviewed. There is a little bit of a funny interaction between the extender and the router. While both are WiFi 7 devices, the router lacks the 6GHz channel. However, this does not prevent the extender from broadcasting the 6GHz band, but does eliminate some benefits of both devices having the 6GHz band. So far I have had a good experience with no issues or uptime interruptions. For reference my house is 1700 sqft split between 2 stories, and an attached garage. WiFi 7 So I only recently joined the WiFi 7 train with the Archer BE6500, but I have yet to reap the benefits of the upgrade with a WiFi 7 device (phone, laptop, etc). However, it’s only a matter of time before that happens. The biggest changes from 6 to 7 are improved packet transfer speeds, wider channels, and MLO. MLO allows the router and your device to talk across multiple channels – 2.4, 5, and 6GHz simultaneously. This can greatly increase throughput, and the wider channels alleviate congestion. All this combines to deliver a faster WiFi experience. Currently there are very few devices that are WiFi 7 ready, so a lot of this really is planning for the future. The Archer BE11000 Tri-Band WiFi 7 Extender The BE11000 extender (1 band of 5760 Mbps @ 6GHz, 1 band of 4320 Mbps @5GHz, 1 band of 688 Mbps @ 2.4Ghz) with simultaneous tri-band radios, MU-MIMO, OFDMA, MLO, and 4K QAM. MU-MIMO and OFDMA allow multiple WiFi users to communicate with the router simultaneously (MU-MIMO for high bandwidth applications and OFDMA for low bandwidth) without taking the performance hit. There are 4 fixed external antennas. The extender has a 2.5Gbps LAN port for connecting devices or to be used as a wired backhaul. A single flat ethernet cable is included (maybe CAT5e). The extender, like my router, is also EasyMesh certified so it can create a mesh network with other EasyMesh devices. EasyMesh is not manufacturer specific, so even though I am using a TP-Link router I wouldn’t you are able to mix hardware from other sources to create your mesh network. The BE11000, like most extenders, just plugs into an outlet in your home. It is on the larger side of things and is 14” long with the antennas laid flat. The plug is just a 2 prong, which unfortunately makes it susceptible to being knocked loose from the outlet – the larger size certainly contributes to this. It would have been a big benefit to give the extender a plastic ground stud to fake a 3-prong setup. If your outlets have weak retention the extender will likely fall off the wall. I have mine plugged into a newer outlet that has the tamper-resistant plastic gates (really good/strong retention), and it's somewhat wobbly in this outlet. My kids/family have all commented that it looks like a roasted chicken on the wall, and now that’s all I see. They have lovingly called it the “Wall Chicken.” Reliability & Performance Reliability of a network device comes down to uptime, and the ability to return to normal operation after an outage. In the past my router and mesh nodes have been connected to UPS’s, so power outages and blips would not be able to take down the network. With a wall outlet extender it will be affected by blips and outages. So far without any loss of power I have had perfect uptime on the extender. I can unplug it and plug it back in in different spots in my house without any issue, so it appears capable of healing the mesh after an outage. With any extender the performance is heavily dependent on placement in the home and the router it is partnered with. In my case the Archer BE6500 is a solid performing router with a good range and reasonably fast 5GHz band. For placement I have the router centered in my house in my basement laundry room while the extender is on the next floor up and more to the front of my house. Its about 25ft on a straight line with a floor and wall in between. Both distance and obstacles will result in signal attenuation and reduced throughput. Where an extender shines is boosting a signal to a far flung room that maybe isn’t getting a strong enough signal to support a device. In my case that is my bedroom Roku, which can experience some buffering and menu lag due to the distance and obstacles. The extender completely removed this issue and now my bedroom Roku behaves just as fast as the Roku that’s 10ft from the main router. I wanted to test the performance of the BE11000 like I have tested the BE6500 (main router). I used SpeedTest and a network tool call Totusoft to see what my network performance looked like. As a baseline I tested without the BE11000 turned on. I tested the speeds from right next to the BE11000 (while off), and from a distance where the BE11000 sat roughly in between me and the router. This worked out to about 50ft with a floor and some walls in between (BE11000 is about 25ft from the router). I used a laptop with 6E compatibility and I have a fiber 600/600 connection. Using Speedtest speeds at 25ft my speed was 240/308 which is pretty good. Moving out to 50 ft I had to move outside of my home, which really cut down the speed to 68/127. Bringing the BE11000 online I retested at 50ft, and I got 171/115. This was a pretty sharp improvement in the download, but somewhat lost some ground with upload speeds. This is similar to what I have seen in other mesh systems where downstream traffic gets a boost, but upstream doesn’t change much until you really move further away. In both tests I was connected to the 5GHz band – the 6GHz band didn’t have enough reach to outpace the 5GHz. I notice I start to lose the 6Ghz around 15-20ft away, so sitting out at 25ft was just a little too far. I tested out inter-network traffic with LAN Speed test from Totusoft. This measures cross network traffic similar to what you might see from a media server streaming to devices on the network. I used a wired PC with a Gen4 NVME drive, and a 6E laptop with a Gen4 NVME drive. The software performs dummy file transfers between machines – I set the file transfer sizes to 5MB, 300MB, and 1GB. The small file transfer size would simulate smaller bursts of network traffic while the larger sizes would represent heavier network streaming or large file transfers. With the PC wired to the router and the laptop wireless I made the transfers. I did the first transfer with the BE11000 turned off to get a baseline. I measured from the same spots as I did for the SpeedTest (25ft, 50ft) - 5MB was 189/250Mbps, 300MB was 224/447, and 1GB 222/438. Moving out to 50ft 5MB was 75/91Mbps, 300MB was 99/122, and 1GB 101/135. With the BE11000 online I retested at 50ft, and like with the SpeedTest I saw improvements on download but upload remained similar. 5MB was 145/118Mbps, 300MB was 177/134, and 1GB 186/133. I would guess I am getting some reduced performance by not having a 6GHz band on my router. One of the WiFi 6E/7 improvements to mesh networks was offloading some of the mesh traffic to the less congested 6GHz band. In my case it is all riding on the 5GHz band, which can get loaded up in a house with multiple wireless devices running. Overall, its obvious to me that the extender expands the reach of my network while maintaining good throughput. I am most concerned with download speeds in a setup like this, and while I wish uploads got a little more of a bump I’m not too surprised with the outcome. Anyone who has uploaded a big file wirelessly knows how much slower it is compared to a download. Mesh Compatibility The BE11000 supports the EasyMesh protocol, which is an non-manufacturer specific mesh standard. I connected it to another EasyMesh router, which happens to be a TP-Link device. I believe all of the new WiFi 7 mesh devices from TP-Link are EasyMesh compatible. However, any EasyMesh router from Netgear/Linksys/etc. will work with this extender. Interface The main way to interact with the extender is through the Tether app. I can see the extender through my router’s browser page as part of the EasyMesh section. I already had the app downloaded which is used for the initial setup. The app works well and I haven’t had any issues in the month I have had the router and now the extender. The app lets you control things easily. Within the app I can see which clients are connected via the extender and what bands they are using. My IoT devices are all connected through the 2.4 band, while I have a few devices connected to the 6GHz band. I rarely have anything connected to the 5 unless I am outside my house. Within the app you can toggle off the 6GHz band if you want to. You can also adjust the WiFi coverage between Maximum, Intermediate, and Minimum. This can be handy if you have multiple access points and want to better control their overlap. The last item, which is nice to see included, is the ability to turn off the LED’s. This is a great quality of life feature if the extender lives in a bedroom in a spot where the lights could bother you. The rest of the controls are handled by the router as the EasyMesh protocol syncs up settings between the router and extender. My experience BE11000 extender has been a good one. The Tether app makes setup a breeze, and it has been a reliable mesh node. The ability to self-heal the mesh after an outage is a plus, and the inclusion of a LAN port really makes this a more versatile mesh node. The EasyMesh compliance means it can connect to any router from any manufacturer that is also EasyMesh certified. My only gripe is the size of the unit combined with the dual prong plug. It just doesn’t hold onto a wall well enough, and it really could benefit from the extra grip that a fake ground post could provide.

[PROS] Mostly Straightforward Setup: I opted to use the WPS button on my router to connect to the extender. The device was easily recognized by my existing network. The 2.5 and 5Ghz were configured instantly, but the 6GHz band was not. Fortunately, the manual highlighted the need for the 6GHz to be setup through a browser or by the app (Thanks TP-Link). Intuitive App: Using the "Tether" app is very simple. I'm able to name bands, disable them, and change passwords if need be. Although I didn't want to have an additional app, it's software that is streamlined. Expansive Range/Acceptable Speeds: The purpose of an extender is provide the furthest amount of coverage without losing speed. I'm happy to report that I got coverage connection well outside my home. Not only that, but I still achieved 3/4 of my speed out of my 1 Gbps service. [CONS] Separate App: My extender is paired with my TP-Link Wi-Fi 7 router which uses the Deco App.. Since these products are within the same ecosystem, I was hoping that part if not all of the extender's functionality could be incorporated within the existing app. Unfortunately, I'm having to the use the "Tether" app if I want to make any changes to the extender. I understand the logic of having a separate app. It just would've been nice to eliminate additional apps. [CONCLUSION] The BE11000 is a great WiFi extender for those with WiFi 7 routers. Truthfully, I wish I had a second extender for the other side of my home. I would highly recommend.

Wow the first thing I noticed after opening the box was how BIG this is! I've tried a couple smaller, lower end TP Link extenders but had no luck as they started slowing down my internet way too much. I was keeping my fingers crossed this one would do the trick. They say third times a charm! I have a 3,000 sq. ft. ranch with full basement (totaling 6,000 sq. ft.) and although I have a Linksys Mesh system with the main node and 3 more nodes plus the Spectrum modem I still had internet connection issues in certain rooms/areas. I already had the TP Tether app on my phone so was familiar with how to connect/setup this extender. I found I did have to use the included ethernet cable to hardwire it to my modem then it set up without a hitch. Moved it in the center of my house, waited for all the lights to tell me that was a good location and now I am able to walk around with my phone and no more signal loss! I did a Speedtest and my download was 777.6 and upload 28.32. Did another later and it was 767.5 and upload was 36.7 so I'm definitely cruising along here. I have lots of things in this house that use Wi-Fi including cameras, 7 smart TV's, doorbells, Alexa's and many other devices. This extender surpassed my expectations and I am so pleased with its performance. It even reached everywhere in my basement where the internet was really lacking and no dropped or weak signals. Big smiles on that for sure. If you are looking for a robust Wi-Fi extender believe me, look no further. This is IT!! I highly recommend the purchase and remember you get what you pay for. I am so grateful this one actually worked! Worth every cent and I rate it 5+ stars all the way!

The TP-Link BE11000 Wi-Fi 7 Range Extender has completely transformed my home network experience. From the moment I plugged it in, the setup was seamless and intuitive. Within minutes, it was integrated into my network, delivering ultra-fast, tri-band Wi-Fi 7 performance that genuinely lives up to the hype. What impressed me most was the coverage and consistency. Dead zones that used to plague my garage and backyard are now completely gone. I’m getting near-gigabit speeds on my devices even in areas that previously struggled to maintain a stable connection. Streaming 4K content, gaming online, and attending video calls all happen without a hiccup. The wall-plug design is sleek and space-saving — no clutter or extra wires, just clean and effective. It’s also EasyMesh-compatible, which allowed it to sync effortlessly with my existing TP-Link setup, providing a unified network experience with smooth device handoff. While it’s a premium product at around $200, it absolutely delivers premium results. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to future-proof their home Wi-Fi, especially with smart homes becoming more bandwidth-intensive. Pros: • Lightning-fast Wi-Fi 7 speeds (up to 11 Gbps) • Superb range and signal strength throughout large spaces • Easy, intuitive setup • Seamless integration with TP-Link EasyMesh routers • Clean, modern wall-plug design Cons: • Slightly pricey — but well worth the investment • Occasional firmware updates may be needed for peak stability Overall, the BE11000 is an absolute game-changer. TP-Link has set the bar high for Wi-Fi extenders, and this one is built to last well into the next generation of home networking.

We had a few questionable spots in the house so I wanted to add a mesh repeater. This unit was easy to install and integrate into our network and we're now getting strong signals throughout the house.

First of all, this pairs very well with the TP-Link Archer BE550 via EasyMesh. For those wondering, this DOES support Ethernet Backhaul while using EasyMesh. I couldnt find it specify that in the manual, but it does which is a bonus. Its been at least 4 months and i havent had an issue so far. I pay for 750mbps internet speed and i do get the full speed on 6GHz band. And my local network speed is 2,300mbps with one client on ethernet and the other on 6GHz. In my area, 5Ghz band tops out at about 550mbps but that will very widely in your area based on your neighbors’ interference. All in all, you do pay for a great product here. Highly recommend it.
