Works perfectly and easy to setup. Pushed my Wi-Fi signal out to where I have some blink cameras just put of have of my router and provides a good strong signal. Can even connect to it on my phone out by my driveway. I use an Asus 6e router and worked perfectly with it.

Works Better Than I Thought It Would

I caught this on sale, and thought “Why not?”. Now that I’ve had it for a while, I have to admit it is nice to have. The first time setup was a little more than specified, but after resetting the modem and router a couple of times, it keeps the extender running smoothly. I should probably add another one for the other end of the house. That being said, I can move it to where I need it, and just plug it in, and it comes right up. After adding the devices to it, they transition smoothly to it.
So far, all of my devices connect seamlessly to it, and I run different kinds of devices whether Microsoft, IOS, or android. I may have to get some cameras to use, and see how stable it will be. So far, with power outages and moving equipment around, it seems to be a good bet.
I would recommend this to almost anyone. Even if you only have basic skills, it can be an easy addition to any network.

Worked as advertised. It was pretty easy to access and set up to connect to the wi-fi networks to extend. Using the ethernet port to extend out with cable (which is why I brought this) worked easily too. I've had it going a couple of months now and have had zero issues with it. Hasn't dropped the network, nor any other connection issues so far.

Works really well! My apartment has horrible signal. Since plugging the extender in, we rarely have any issues with the wifi. It makes everything much easier! We used to get to frustrated having to reconnect our tv to the wifi 3-5 times during a movie, but now we never have to worry!

Great Range Extender – Fast, Reliable, Easy to Set

The TP-Link RE505X exceeded my expectations! Setup was super easy — it took just a few minutes to pair with my main router. The Wi-Fi 6 support makes a noticeable difference in speed and stability.
Previously, there were dead zones in my house where the signal was weak, but now I get full bars everywhere — streaming and gaming are totally smooth.
It also looks sleek and compact, blending right into the wall outlet.
If you’re looking for a reliable and affordable range extender, this one is definitely worth it. Highly recommended!

I purchased this due to the cost and reviews. I have it in my garage and it is about 80 feet from my router. It is used to allow me to have internet in my steel building that’s 100 feet away from my garage. Works great. Only issue I can say is that when it’s plugged into the wall because of the weight of it and the antennas I have a small bracket to hold it up right other wise it will lean over and almost pull out of the wall receptacle. That’s the only downside I can see. It took about 5 minutes to configure it to my home internet and it’s been working great for 4 months now. I would recommend it and buy another again if needed.

It was simple to setup, no glitches. The boosted signal works great. Remember to check that you don't place it too far from the WI-FI base otherwise it will drop the signal.

Works very well and does actually extend the range of my wifi. I needed this to have my outdoor camera systems actually stay online and to connect to them without stalling or lagging. Works exactly for what I needed it for.

The house has only one place for the router and is on the opposite side from the gaming setup. Intalling the extender about halfway between the router and my setup doubled the speeds on my xbox and pc and virtually eliminated my lag issues. It was super easy to set up and was a big improvement in online play.

After using this TPI Link for over a month and I would not hesitate to purchase again. It extend our range in a 5200 sg ft dewlling with signal outside 125 ft from placement. It only covers a small area nearour firepit. Effortless to set up. Lights tell you if you go out of range. Wireless modem is in basement. I could not see spending $400 to 600 for a mesh system. Nine devices have connect to this extender. No slow down. I'm using it with a Starlink satelite.

Excellent product easy to set up and paired with my router & all my devices very easily. Was skeptical when I purchased it but after having it and no problems seems like a very good choice highly recommend this product.
