Posted .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 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 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,

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent Wi-fi extender. It does the job and it feels like the connection is directly from the source. the price does not show the real quality it really has.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My network is much stronger and the extender fulfills my needs
I would recommend this to a friendonly works with a mesh router.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do not believe the product description adequately described the product. It did say "Create a mesh network that only needs one name and password by pairing RE505X with a TP-Link Mesh router." I did not realize that meant it required a mesh router to do its magic for one network. The description also said "The AX1500 range extender is compatible with all WiFi-enabled devices and routers or access points." In any case, when I installed it, I found that I cannot have a mesh network since the router supplied by Xfinity does not support mesh. That means the extender is viewed as a separate network. The next problem is that even though the diagnostics show appropriate readings, I do not find any improvement in wifi access at the locations I was hoping to improve. I will probably return it if convenient since it's not doing me any good.

Posted .Hello Nebular,
The RE505X can be connected to a Mesh network using the OneMesh feature, but it is not required. Its just an option.
Using a Range Extender as a traditional Range extender does technically create a 2nd AP in your network but the name can be the same as your host router.
When placing a RE you want it to be in an area with a strong signal from the router, that is between the router and the area you want a stronger signal in. It also requires that area to be open and unobstructed for best results.
If you need help please consider reaching out to support. We can offer guidance if needed.
