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 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.

Don't Do It!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Grabage. Totally worthless phone app too. After trying about 15 different ways to get a second TV to do what the older 4G modem used to do with ease, compared to Motorola's 5G dud, this was a waste of time and effort and ended up being returned to Best Buy.

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. If you are experiencing difficulty connecting the extender to your router, we recommend setting up the device in the same room as your router, then relocating it after setup is complete. We also suggest re-verifying your router's Wi-Fi password during setup, or if using the WPS setup method, ensuring the WPS process is performed in the correct order. The extender's indicator LEDs will help you determine which position in your home is ideal.
We also highly 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/

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. The RE505X is designed to provide a reliable, dual-band Wi-Fi 6 extension experience for your home network. In your case, we would first recommend swapping out the Ethernet cable to rule out a bad or damaged cable as the culprit.
Additionally, it is important that the extender is installed in 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 that the RE status LED indicates 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 don't hesitate to reach out to our support team. We're here to help you, and we'll gladly have a Support Agent follow up with you directly.

Don’t bother
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Never worked very well, despite being linked with two different routers over the past 15 months. Sgnal would drop constantly or fail to connect. Finally traded it in for a mesh extender, which has been great.

Not working
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hard to set up since very dependent on being within range of the wifi router. Then after successful setup, find out that it was not even transmitting. No difference whether plugged in or not as far as getting more range to my devices.

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. If you are having difficulty connecting the Wi-Fi Extender to your router, please first ensure the extender is physically located in an area where your router's Wi-Fi signal is sufficiently strong/stable. If using the WPS setup method, please ensure the steps were performed in the correct order, or the root network's password is correctly entered if using the web or Tether setup options.
We also highly 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/
