RE815X AX5400 WiFi 6 Range Extender w/Ethernet Port | 5.4 Gbps Tri-Band Wireless Repeater Amplifier | Up to 2800 Sq. Ft., 96 Devices | Internet Signal Booster | 160 MHz | APP Setup | OneMesh

I wanted to increase the WiFi coverage in my house, and this extender does a really good job of that! My router is a TP-Link AX5400 (Archer AX73), and is "EasyMesh" compatible. I tried using other less expensive (aka "cheaper") WiFi extenders, and I got what I paid for. TP-Link recommends this particular extender (the RE815X), and it works great. Setup was a very easy - Plug in the extender while it's near the router, press the WPS buttons on both devices. They link up, and you're good to go. Move the extender to where you want it, check that the signal light indicates it's receiving an acceptable signal, and that's it. The router and extender together use a third 5GHz radio to communicate with each other, and the extender essentially extends both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz band so that BOTH bands get an extended signal. The end result is like having two routers. As for the size of the extender, it's larger than a dual outlet wall plate. I put mine in an unused outlet (imagine that!) under the counter in the kitchen. I put my router in one corner of the house floorplan, and I put the extender in the opposite diagonal corner. I now have better coverage for all my smart home and IOT devices. Devices on the second floor now get a 5GHz connection where they only had coverage for a 2.4GHz before. The signal is strong enough to reach Alexa devices in the backyard. The signal strength for my Ring cameras has improved with the addition of this extender. If I could change just one thing about it, it would be that the connected device names show up in the management interface of the extender. The router will identify all the devices connected to the network and show the name, MAC address, and DHCP assigned IP. The extender shows the devices that are connecting to the network using the extender, but the it (the extender) only shows the MAC address and IP of the devices, and not the name. This would be a "nice-to-have", but isn't a "show-stopper" for me. Overall, I'm very pleased with this product and I would recommend it. It might be seen as a little "pricey", but I think the overall value is well worth the cost. I have no regrets buying it.

Ok so internet at my house has been spotty around the house at times until I got a wifi extender. I bought one, but that was a few years ago. That wifi extender would only get me about 100mb/s from a router that was located downstairs which would get a speed of about 500-900mb/s (depending on how close you were to it). Now that my home has frequent guests and even more devices that require internet connection around the house, I needed something that performed much better. I decided to get this wifi extender to supplement my old one. This new wifi extender I decided on is triband and performs a lot better. I now get easily more than 200mb/s when I check the speed on my phone upstairs. Of course speed isnt the only feature. This extender helps my internet connected devices stay connected to my main network without having to switch between my main or extended network manually. As soon as I move from downstairs to upstairs, my phone switches to the extended. This makes the process very easy for all people in my home. If you are looking for a new extender for your home, consider this one as one of your choices. Setting it up was very simple. I didnt need to wire it to my router to set up. I first plugged in this extender close to my router. Then, I opened the TP-link app (of course you need to make an account which is free and simple) and identified the extender to the account on the app. After all that, I could set it up with my network nad entered in the password. Finally, I could unplug the extender and decide on where to place it in my house. If you need help deciding where to plug it in, the app helps you by letting you knoe if the extender is too far from the router or if you can place it even further. TP-Link has been a pretty good brand for the most part. Good customer service and easy to use products. Overall, a great experience.

Extender works well, sending wifi from basement router to other side of the house into the first floor garage. A less powerful extender did not work. Works as advertised but set up was lengthy to establish all three bands.

I would say 4.6 Stars. Out the box used WPS. Took 3 times but the third was a charm. Was it TP-links fault or mine that it took 3 minutes to start rather than one? Overall, the signal is stronger with the AX5400 on my phone. Getting -36 to -39 dBm on both bands with extender. -72dBm and -63 dBm on the bands without the extender at the same location (second story with router on the first). In case you ask for Wi-Fi, dBm is often used to measure the signal strength or received signal strength indicator (RSSI), which tells you how strong or weak the Wi-Fi signal is at a specific location.-30 dBm is a very strong signal (almost ideal for Wi-Fi). On the speed, with the extender getting 352 Mpbs down and 293 Mpbs up on the 5.0 band and 176 Mpbs down and 119 Mpbs on the 2.4 band. Without the extender I get 156 Mpbs on the down and 96 Mpbs on the up for the 5.0 band and 153 Mpbs on the down and 116 Mpbs on the up for the 2.4 band. Mbps (megabits per second) is a unit of measurement for data transfer speed. In the context of Wi-Fi, it refers to how fast data can be transferred over the wireless network, typically in terms of download and upload speeds. As you can see from my tests the extender almost doubles my speed for the 5.0 band BUT for the 2.4 band at this time is basically the same speed. While a stronger signal generally indicates a good connection, speed is influenced by many other factors beyond just signal strength. The extender is definitely providing a stronger signal which generally means more reliability in terms of stable connectivity, lower chances of disconnections, and the ability to maintain a better-quality data transfer. I am getting very similar speeds for Wi-Fi for my desktop. I am keeping the AX5400 for the increased signal strength and the faster 5.0 band, but only giving 4.6 stars due to no increase in the speed of the 2.4 band, although the cause is probably congestion and not the fault of the extender Still pretty good rating.

Easy set-up, no drama (I was surprised, but happy). Appears to be working good, fast speed, extending the range to the other side of the House.

This item literally does not work for me. I have called the Support team and they constantly keep asking for different photos. like the first 3 photos already proved it does not work but they keep asking for more. They just want to drain my energy so I will just say screw it and not send anymore. I have used previous Extenders, I gave my previous one to my brother as a birthday gift thinking this one would be just as good, maybe even better. Well I was wrong and wasted 200 bucks as it doesn't work at all. What a waste of money, and the Support team just keeps asking for new pictyres so I'll just drop the situation. But I will not drop my review! Good luck to anyone who buys this thing as this on me could be a hit or miss. The photos I have provided are the ones they asked for. They asked for proof that the connection doesn't work while connected LAN cable. As you can see, my monitors can't load anything cause the extender is not providing any internet. Then the second photo is an internet speed test connected to my router that shows my wifi is stable. My internet/router is not the issue, this wifi extender is.

I have this in my Garage, it’s connected wirelessly to a BE6500 in my house, works excellent. I have 1 Gig internet in my house, with the RE815X I get 500Mg in the garage. It was very easy to set up with the Tether App.

I have this in my garage that’s about 50-60 feet away from house where my router is and it works perfectly. When I was in my garage before the extender I had no WiFi signal. Now I have full strength WiFi signal in the garage. At first I couldn’t get it set up. I think it was because I bought a like new one to save money and it was already set up for someone else’s router but after I reset it the setup was a breeze. This is a trusted name brand extender from all the research I have done.

Waste money not working

Excelente potencia para un repetidor, buen alcance de la banda de 5 y mejor aun para la de 2.4. Lo tengo conectado por ethernet a través de switch y entrega casi completo el ancho de banda del router. Recomiendo ampliamente.

ممتاز جداً نشكركم كثيرا

Es un equipo muy estable, no se cae la señal. Lo estoy usando en extender una red WiFi y la instalación es facil y rapida. Desde que lo instale no he tenido que meterle mano o cambiar algo, ha funcionado meses sin problemas y siendo estable, incluso cuando ha fallado la electricidad. El acabado es muy robusto.

Tengo un router GX90 AX6600 en un piso de arriba, dando todo lo contratado con mi proveedor de internet, pero en el piso de abajo tenía el AX1500 dando velocidades de 100 - 120mb con OneMesh. Ahora con este equipo,da velocidad de 370 a 410mb ya que tambien es WPA3. Muy recomendable y satisfecho con la compra.
