TP-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)

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 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.

Got the TP-Link RE305 AC1200 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Range Extender (White) for increasing coverage of my WiFi network in Room which was last in the apartment in terms of distance from the modem WiFi source.This is a dual band version and works on 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands on both incoming and retransmission side and we can configure which ones to enable through configuration.Quick installation guide that comes in the box is well written. Unit is fairly simple to setup and I had it running within minutes using easy configuration by WPS button on my modem and then on repeater. Through this easy setup mode the repeater just replicates the SSID of existing network. Incoming signal strength is indicated through LED on top of the unit.For more detailed settings and configuration of different network SSID names scanning and selecting signal strength or enabling disabling different bands I also tried setting through logging into the setup and that is user friendly. You can connect using address tplinkrepeater.net or the provided address through wireless or through Ethernet cable on the port provided on bottom of the unit. First thing you get is a prompt to setup password for the unit.You can also set repeater signal strength to high medium low to set coverage. With high as well as medium settings I had all dead and low signal zones in my apartment fixed.Coming to the question of speeds before and after repeater here are my results in few speed tests I did. My setup is dual band WiFi on Jio Giga Fiber with 100Mbps link for which I typically get 90 to 95Mbps using 5G network and 30 to 50Mbps when connected to 2.4G network in line of sight within few meters of the the modem. With repeater setup around 9 to 10 meter away (not line of sight but just inside a door of a room where I have a wall socket to power the unit) and incoming signal as good as indicated by repeater I got 15 to 20 Mbps on 2.4 G network and 70 to 80 Mbps on 5 G network on the repeated network when around 3 meter away from the repeater. Results of course change with distances between repeater and source and repeater and user devices. Speed drop is more on 2.4 G repeater than on 5 G.Overall results are satisfactory to begin with. Unit gets hot when running. Warranty is 3 years which gives peace of mind. There are power save options in setup. like we can setup time when we want to disable the repeater (like night time).Overall a useful purchase for me.Update November 2020 - Working reliably for my network for more than a year and half now.

Very easy to setup with the wps button. Takes seconds if you follow the steps given. Auto connected both bands 2.4 and 5, compatible with my tp link router. Extends range automatically and doesn't create a separate network or SSID.
