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)

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 blue 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!

Good one to extend existing wifi

I’ve been using this WiFi extender for the past few days, and it has been working flawlessly. Setup was smooth, and so far, I haven’t faced any issues. The extender provides strong coverage in dead zones and maintains a decent speed. As expected, performance depends on how far you place the extender from your main router. In my setup, the router is on the first floor while the extender is on the ground floor. On the 5GHz band, I’m consistently getting around 80% of the original speed, which is impressive for an extender. Naturally, if the extender is placed farther from the router, speed will reduce, but within a reasonable range, it works very well. You can also set the same SSID as your main router, so devices automatically connect to the strongest signal while moving between floors So far, it’s one of the best products I’ve used, and I’ll continue to monitor its performance over the year. Important Note on MAC Filtering: If you’re using MAC filtering on your primary router, you must add the extender’s MAC addresses for both bands (2.4GHz and 5GHz) since the extender uses separate MAC addresses for each band. Additionally, you need to manually configure MAC filtering on the extender itself. Applying MAC filtering only on the main router is not enough, because users can still connect through the extender even if the filter is active on the router. Enabling MAC filtering on both the router and extender ensures that unauthorized devices cannot access your network.

Love the product, does what it says and that too in the best of ways. Easy installation steps made it ever so simple to set up and I did everything literally from the devices app on my phone. Connecting to the source wifi and then giving stable connection from the extender makes playing games on my streaming device so much better and eliminates the dead zone which previously restricted low dbm. All in all a great deal and made even more lovely by the fact that Amazon gave me a great deal and had it delivered by the end of the day i ordered

It’s serves the purpose of signal boosting of Wi-Fi. I had tried Netgear claiming same output but it failed miserably in performances. This is perfect product for repeater/wifi signal enhancer. My experience very positive

The product is good. Initial connection is easy, supports 5G also. It has better coverage.
