TP-LinkTP-Link | AC1200 WiFi Range Extender | Up to 1200Mbps Speed | Dual Band Wireless Extender, Repeater, Signal Booster, Access Point| Easy Set-Up | Extends Internet Wi-Fi (RE305)

This is one of the best consumer model Wi-Fi extenders money can buy and probably the best in the segment!Since months of using it, I have never experienced signal drop even once and the device won't enter stand-by unless you configure it to do so. I'd have loved the LED Indicators (blue color) to be designed on its front panel but they are on the top section which is hard to see when plugged in to a wall-socket.It has the Power, WiFi, 2.4 GHz, and 5 GHz indicator LEDs on it and they all light up green while working depending on your configuration. You may choose to enable either or both bands in settings and they both work refreshingly well.Connecting to the extender is straight-forward via WiFi for first time setup and once you change the SSID and passwords to match your existing WiFi network, it instantly blends with the network; WPS button is available too!It also has an RJ45 output if you fancy to connect a device via LAN cable. I've not used it yet but I intend to.Boot time takes a minute but once it loads up, you forget that it exists as it is not a device you have to shutdown or restart constantly.So far I have connected to both bands and both work as if they belong to the router and not the extender - very minimal bandwidth loss and the speeds of the 5 GHz band took me by surprise - almost 90% of what I get from the router while 2.4 GHz remains slow like it always is.The best part is, the 5 GHz range on this device is much powerful than it is on my TP Link router and it covers the entire 1200 Sq ft without breaking a sweat; personally I have used it throughout the house and there are no blind spots at all and my router is actually on the first floor while the range extender is in the ground floor house.The house has good ventilation and the device has not overheated so far which adds to good performance. I don't know whether this is value for money in general but it is definitely worth having this WiFi range extender.Also if your walls covered in light shade paint, this blends in perfectly (more so if the walls are white shaded); it is as if there is nothing there and it is tiny!

I bought recently TP-Link Archer C6 AC1200 Gigabit router for my house and I was looking for a range extender for the first floor as the signal is not great there due to intersecting walls. Whilst I was researching on TP-Link site to look for a compatible range extender, I read about the OneMesh technology where the compatible range extenders could be connected with main router to create a one mesh network. This means you don't need to have multiple 2.4 ghz or 5 ghz SSIDs for main router and extenders. RE305 Version 3 (EU model) was listed as a range extender that supports Onemesh and compatible with my Archer C6. I was worried initially because only V3.0 of RE305 supports Onemesh and V2 or earlier versions don't support. So be careful before you order. The Amazon product page lacks this information in the product details and my attempts to try to reach out customer care, the seller and also the manufacturer (TP-Link) only resulted in vain as none of them could provide me or confirm me if the product sold is of V3 (EU) only. Fortunately few of the customer who bought this product did answer my questions that gave me a chance to take a risk and order and thankfully I got the V3 (EU) model of the product. After you establish the connection, please ensure to check the firmware upgrade as I got the latest firmware updated that fixes few wifi signal issues. It is really small and cute in size, pretty easy to plug in as it directly plugs into wall socket, and easy to configure. Just use the Tether mobile app which is quick and easy to install and connect the extender to your main router. Good thing is it will recognize your existing 2.4 and 5 gh wifis and replicates the connection with the same SSID and pwds of the main router. Once done, you enable the Onemesh feature and bang !! you are now in the onemesh network where you get seamless signals across a 2 floor house. This extender boosts up the signal and kills the wifi dead zone in the house. This also supports 802.11a/g/n/ac protocols.I noticed only one issue on 5 ghz. If you have configured your main router channel number to "Auto" and if it connects to any channel other than 36,40,44 and 48, then the Range Extender RE305 is unable to pickup that 5 ghz. I couldn't figure it out initially as it kept saying unable to connect to 5 ghz. Then I changed the channel on 5 ghz on my main router to 36. Then it connected. The speed is good and I am pretty happy with its performance. Worth for the price. Please note that though you can configure this TP Link range extender with any other router but if you want to have Onemesh technology then its only compatible with a TP Link router.

Great product, in my opinion. I was able to connect it to my home internet modem/router, and all my devices were able to detect the wireless network and were able to quickly connect to the network. The signal is strong and stable, so there are no issues with signal loss or slowdowns. Installation was simple and straightforward. I was able to have it up and running in less than 15 minutes. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs an ethernet to wifi adapter.

I was always skeptical of range extenders because everyone warned that these reduced your internet speeds and caused latency issues. But NOPE! This has been the single most worthwhile purchase I've ever made.Had one corner of the house with really bad reception, even though it's not too far away from the router (thanks, Airtel!). Installed this, and everything's been working great since. Really solid connectivity. No dropped calls on Teams or Google Meet anymore. No latency or net jitter when playing online games like CS2 or Valorant.Connecting this with the WPS method didn't work for me, though. I then connected it using the mobile app, and that worked well. No issues so far. 10/10 would recommend.

Easy to install using tether app... Works for both 2.4ghz and 5 ghz bandwidth... Range is good for home... Keep it away from tv and other electronics as given in the manual. I had it near my tv first where my router was and the range wasnt that good. Once you setup your device shift device to area centrally located away from electronics for best result.
