Posted .Hi JeremyM,
TP-Link Wi-Fi Range Extenders are designed primarily for use within residential homes. Due to the differences in size and construction, business buildings may present additional challenges for the extender's Wi-Fi signal. However, there may still be ways you can optimize its functionality in your case. First, 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,

Posted .Hi GRodriguez,
Thank you for your review. If you haven't noticed a significant improvement in Wi-Fi coverage after installing the extender, try relocating it to a spot in your home where the router's Wi-Fi signal is sufficiently strong, yet far enough from the router to extend its range effectively. Please make sure the RE status LED is indicating a solid connection.

Wonderful Device
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Summary ------- Simply a wonderful device. I have a Deco x55 mesh setup and this device works seamlessly as a range extender. Although my X55 is a Wifi 6, i think its great to have a device which is wifi 7 because in future if i upgrade my mesh to wifi 7, this one will still be a keeper Pros ----- 1. Inexpensive 2. Works with any router setup 3. Easy to setup 4. Cons ---- 1. Wish it had more than 1 lan port Details ------- Its very easy to setup if you have a WPS switch on the router. All you just need to do is to push that button. since mine does not have a dedicated button, i can use the deco app to connect the extender. You can also activate this through the website. ' Once activated, you can actually see this in t he deco app and it works seamlessly with the deco x55 system i have. I have a desktop with poor wifi card and this really helped me to connect the desktop to the available lan port. However i wished that there are multiple lan ports in the extender. Since this one is wifi 7 capable, i can be rest assured that this is future proof.

Excellent product! Fast set up!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been looking at signal extenders for a few months, debating which one to get. Been looking at this one in particular, since I have a TP router. Glad I got it! This was a breeze to set up. Literally plug in, hit a button on the router, a button on the extender, count to 100, and it’s synced and ready to go! No complicated menus. No apps required (but you can use the tether app), and it just works. That’s a marvel to behold in this day of overcomplicating things. Now my 6e and WiFi7 network extend out to my back patio effortlessly. The extender plugs into the wall and is fairly unobtrusive. I really don’t know what else to say about it. My other devices found it easily with a quick network refresh and went from one bar signal to 4 bars. It incorporates all the great features of wifi7 and helps my existing network fully cover my house (built in the 1930’s and built out of materials that absorb or block WiFi signals). Overall, I’m very impressed with this extender, and would recommend it to anyone wanting an inexpensive way to get a little extra kick out of their WiFi network.

Posted .Hello Bruce,
The Extender can act as an Extended Mesh device if the router supports EasyMesh. If you need help doing this please reach out to Support.

Worth considering But...
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Is a direct plug into the wall extender. This posed a slight challenge for me due to most of my wall sockets are low and usually covered by furniture or entertainment system. Set up was extreamly simple. I pushed the WPS Button on the router and the extender. Both synced with in minutes and the extender captured all the ghz bands it was designed for. I connected a few devices to check operation. A laptop, TV, cell phone and printer all worked fine and had decent speeds. BTW the extender will add a EXT to the WiFi SSID to ensure you are actually connected to the extender itself. So I decided to check the actual connection and discovered the extender connects to the router with the 2.4ghz frequency, then allows a connection to the you devices via 2.4ghz or 5ghz. The problem I found after poking around is there is no 6ghz channeling. I also noticed WPA2 encription is set as default. I changed the encription to WPA3 (latest encription) via the extenders user interface. With the 5ghz channels my lap top which is capable of 5870mbps only connected at 2880mbps, So I had to not use the extender and instead connect to the WiFi 7 router to get the 5870mbps connection. The extender, as far as I can tell from checking whats available in the extenderes user interface, there is no 6ghz band available. So I am a little puzzled. Perhaps I am missing something, but, I don't see it in the user interface. Don't be dismayed however, the extender has a solid steady connection and appears to be very stabil. My biggest take away is how well it set up and has had a consistent connection to the router.

Great Range Extender To Eliminate Any Dead Spots.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently set up the TP-Link BE6500 Wi-Fi 7 Range Extender, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. This device has truly transformed my home network experience. Setup was incredibly simple thanks to the TP-Link Tether app, and I had it up and running within minutes. The instructions were clear, and the extender immediately integrated with my existing router. The performance is outstanding. With Wi-Fi 7 technology, the speeds are blazing fast and consistent throughout my entire home. I used to struggle with weak signals in certain rooms, especially upstairs and in the backyard, but the BE6500 eliminates all dead zones. Streaming 4K videos, gaming online, and video conferencing are all smooth and buffer-free now—even with multiple devices connected simultaneously. The design is sleek and minimal, blending nicely into any room without being an eyesore. I also appreciate the advanced features like the Ethernet port for wired connections and the intelligent signal indicator, which helped me find the best placement for optimal coverage. TP-Link continues to deliver reliable and forward-thinking products, and the BE6500 is no exception. If you’re looking for a high-performance, future-proof range extender that’s easy to use and truly expands your Wi-Fi coverage, this is the one to get. Highly recommended!

A great Wi-Fi extender with Wi-Fi 7
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TP-Link BE6500 range extender was installed in my metal pole barn style garage as it has always been difficult to get a good signal while inside the garage. As with most TP-Link products, the setup was simple and easy, follow the Quick Installation Guide or use the QR code to watch the setup videos. Once it was setup, I moved it to the garage, plugged it into an outlet, confirmed that the LED turned blue, signaling that it was communicating with my router, and it was ready for devices to connect to it. My garage now has great WI-FI and the response time is great. The BE6500 has Wi-Fi 7 in it and is backwards compatible with previous Wi-Fi generations. It does have a built in lan port if you need to hard wire a pc, tv, or anything else you might need to. It can also function as an access point mode if you desire, simply hard wire the BE6500 to your router and it will provide Wi-Fi wherever you need it. This has worked well in my garage and has eliminated the dead zone that was there before. I am very happy with it and the Tether app lets you see all sorts of info that you can control. A great device that works well!

A Must Have Extender
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had several TP LINK Wi-Fi products over the years and this is another top quality product from this company. I have a two story home but there are some dead spots that I needed help extending my signal to so my security cameras and game consoles would work in these hard to reach areas. Setup for me was a breeze, the manufacturer makes it super easy. I plugged the extender into an outlet in the area I was wanting to boost my signal. I then downloaded the tether app to my mobile device and followed the on screen set up instructions. The app walks you through connecting the extender to your current Wi-Fi network. A few moments later I was all set up. It truly is that simple. This extender has Multi-link operations (MLO) which allows for connections across multiple frequency bands. You will need a Wi-Fi 7 router to access this feature. So far this has been a life saver and really increased my network throughout my home to all of my IOT devices. I wish I had used one of these earlier and am glad I finally took the plunge. This is exactly what I needed.
