Setup is actually fast, but the performance is not there. I am reading 1,700mbs on my wifi 7 router and only 480mbs with this extender on wifi 7. It is not worth the money! This extender needs some work for $300!

Please remember that the specs advertised on routers and range extenders is the maximum combined transmit rates. This is not the internet speed. A lot of people misunderstand this point. Additionally extenders main purpose is to extend the range of a router or AP. Often speed performance will be reduced from being connected to the router with a similar strength signal. This is because extenders are half-duplex devices and can only communicate in one direction at a time.

Hi John,
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 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 Systems Support

I’m running a TP link wifi 7 mesh network in my home currently, but have a couple of area’s that have degraded coverage, especially the outside which is where I have my cameras so I want to make sure coverage is strong, especially when I decide to watch some sports outdoors. Thinking that both systems are TP Link, I thought this would have been a perfect match but wasn’t really the case for me.
The system instructions are minimal, it basically tells you how to connect but doesn’t explain the options and features of the device. The app doesn’t offer much information either. I was disappointed that I needed a different phone app for this than I do my TP Link mesh network, would have been nice to manage it all from one place. Setup was easy though. Easymesh technology that comes with the extender is not available on my mesh network, since I was trying to add this as an access point to my network, I was hoping this was the case. After reaching out to support via chat for a better understanding if this was a signal booster/repeater or just creates another wifi network in your home. It appears to create a separate network for your home and just adds “_EXT” to your original SSID. This was a bit disappointing in the fact that now I would need to connect all my devices to this extender separately. If you try to create it using the same SSID as your home network then it will pop-up 2 different SSID’s with the same name among your networks, so not the best option.
However, despite all this I have found a better use for it. My wife works from home and her laptop does not run the latest Wifi 7/6GHz technology which is limiting her speed and stability. I plugged the extender in her office and ran a network cable from the ethernet port of the extender and just like that she has wifi 7 speeds hard-wired into her laptop! So that is a big bonus of this extender. Would also be ideal for connecting to gaming systems that may not have the fastest wireless internet connection.
The Tether app seems a bit buggy, I was using it on Android and iPhone, and Android seemed to work a little better. Sometimes it would connect and other times it wouldn’t connect to the extender even though I was on the extenders’ network. Regarding the signal and coverage outdoors, I went outside to test my signal strength and speeds, and my home is an all-brick home, and even though I was right outside the wall where the extender was the signal was pretty weak. Walking another 20 feet away, it told me I had no internet connection on this network.
Overall, it does communicate well with my main network and acts great for wanting to hardwire devices to the wifi. I moved the extender to a couple of spots within my home including the garage and never got a weak signal to the main network. Hoping newer versions of the app will help stability, and I do like that there are no cords with the extender, it plugs directly into a wall. So that means no losing power cables or worrying about mounting the device, it stays on the wall where its plugged in which I think is convenient. I recommend to make sure your current router has the Easymesh network tech if you plan on utilizing that before getting this.

TP Link is a mess and deceptive.

Only 1/3 of the avaliable bandwidth is extended when combined with anothe TP Link router. No IoT and No Guest network. And no MLO, so I guess only 1/4 of the avaliable bands. It will cut the speed down to 1/2 compared to the main router, the other 1/2 is used for backhaul I'm guessing. I'm not seeing anything close to 1/2 of the advertised speed. would not recommend TP Link at all. The cost of learning my lesson is high. And

Hi,
Thank you for your review. For IoT and Guest Network configuration and administration, these features are typically supported and managed by the router. If your goal is to achieve unified IoT and Guest Network management, as well as seamless MLO support, we would suggest considering one of our Wi-Fi 7 Deco Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi Systems.
In the meantime, 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/

Hi Nawlage,
Thank you for your review. If you haven't noticed a significant improvement in Wi-Fi coverage after installing the extender, we recommend moving it to a spot inside your home where the Wi-Fi signal from the router is strong enough but still far enough away to effectively extend its range. Please check that the RE status LED shows 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/

Great Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Performer

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I recently upgraded an older Wi-Fi 5 router to the TP-Link Archer BE6500 Wi-Fi 7 Router connected to a Gigabit fiber Internet ISP. Despite its great overall coverage, signal strength and download speeds are low enough in some far corners of the house to warrant an additional device. That’s where the latest model of the TP-Link - BE11000 Wi-Fi 7 Range Extender comes into play to save the day.
Since I already had the TP-Link Tether App installed, adding the BE11000 Range Extender was a breeze. The setup went smoothly, just plugged it into an available outlet and added a new range extender device. Once it becomes part of the same Wi-Fi network, you can get lots of useful information about the network, devices using the Extender, transfer speeds, signal strength, etc. If you don’t have an Ethernet cable run between your router and the Extender for the backhaul, make sure you place the extender somewhere within your router’s Wi-Fi coverage area to guarantee a reliable connection and good bandwidth.
I don’t yet have any devices with an actual Wi-Fi 7 NIC, but my phone and a few PCs do have Wi-Fi 6E. I ran most Wi-Fi tests using a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and a Windows 11 laptop and was able to get nearly the same download speeds near the Extender as I was getting near the router ~ 850 Mbps So the Extender is installed in the sunroom, and I’m still getting over 400 Mbps out in the yard - mission accomplished.
This TP-Link - BE11000 Wi-Fi 7 Range Extender covers all far side areas of the house, the deck and the yard quite well thanks to 4 high performance antennas with Beamforming technology. The EasyMesh technology works great with TP-Link routers but it is universally compatible with most other brands.
In conclusion, this TP-Link BE11000 Wi-Fi 7 Range Extender is packed with the latest technology and great performance providing an affordable way to expand your existing network without having to spend big bucks on an entirely new mesh system.

Dropping WIFI

Extender begun dropping WIFI after 10-12 days of flawless operations. Display LEDs are working, unit is connected and reachable, but does not perform its primary function i.e. does not extend the signal range.
We read that majority of users are rating it as a great extender, but we have difficulties to understand why such expensive high tech unit is so unreliable.
For comparison Apple product worked flawlessly extending signal for years.

Hi CreoX,
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.

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 the Extender's LEDs indicate normal operation, we recommend making sure the wireless devices you are testing connectivity with are detecting and connecting to the extender's network and not your router's. Some wireless devices may implement less aggressive roaming (the act of automatically switching between nearby Wi-Fi sources) settings than others, so double-checking the signal source on those devices may help.
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.

Hello George,
This could very well be a result of placement. Extenders have to be placed in an open and unobstructed that is between the router and area you want to extend coverage to. It also has have a strong signal from the router as it can only provide what it receives.
Best Regards

This item was supposed to work with the TP-Link Archer BE24000. Both units never created a stable WiFi MESH. I was extremely disappointed with this product. Unfortunately, I am out of the return window. Do not buy this product.

The Archer BE900 (BE2400) V2 and the RE655BE both do support EasyMesh. But please remember, the Range Extender still needs to be placed in a open and unobstructed area with a good signal. If it is then we would recommend contacting TP-Link support for assistance. [email protected]
