TP-Link RE700X - AX3000 Mesh WiFi 6 Extender

This TP-Link RE700X was definitely needed as a booster for working from home. I was particularly pleased that it allowed me to easily create a mesh network with my compatible router, ensuring seamless coverage across the house. I noticed a definite increase in both speed and reliability immediately after setup. It's now great for streaming high-quality video and working in rooms where I previously suffered from spotty coverage. Considering the performance and ease of use, I think this is good value for money as well. Highly recommend for eliminating dead zones!

Got this extender after buying a different make which after following the instructions and spending hours attempting to connect just did not operate. Returned to Amazon no hassle. This one connected and working in a few minutes. At last, strong signal in the bedrooms. Just one point to note. It sets up another access point with the same name as your router with the subfix EXT. It is necessary to switch over manually to connect to that. It does not do it automatically. It's only a couple of button presses on your phone/tablet so not an issue. You just have to remember to do it. Addendum to this review: A few days later Virgin Media changed my router to a WiFi 6 Hub 5 and I was unable to get the extender to work correctly on the 2.5 Ghz band so reluctantly had to return it.

The TP-Link Mesh WiFi Booster has improved the coverage in my home significantly, especially in areas where the signal used to be weak. Setup was pretty straightforward, and once it was up and running, I noticed a definite increase in speed and reliability. It’s great for streaming and working in rooms where I used to get spotty coverage. That said, it’s not perfect—there are occasional drops in the connection, and the signal doesn’t always extend as far as I had hoped. It’s still much better than before, but not quite flawless. Overall, it’s a good solution for improving WiFi coverage, just not a perfect one. 3.5 stars if I could, but I’ll settle for 4.

Absolutely fantastic, I had a bad experience with another brand that I sent back. After reading the reviews I found this TP-Link extender. Ten minutes out of the box and everything was up and running. No guessing what's happening and a great app if you need help. I now have full house WiFi coverage and a remote CCTV camera at the bottom of the garden has a great signal strength. I'd recommend this extender to anyone, it says on the box that it will work with any router.

Works well and easy to connect to main router. An on-off switch enables to be disabled when not required without removing from power socket.

This is absolutely brilliant it does wot it claims and is very straightforward to set up too. Pricey but definitely worth it I've got in the hall and I was having issues with ring video doorbell and poor signal which is odd as I'm in a 1 bedroom sheltered house but once I set this up it sorted out the poor signal very easily. It's well built & has an eithernet port too that can be run too so no loss of speed. Brilliant buy.

I have 5 of these over two homes. These are not perfect but compared to other extenders I've used, less problematic. The good points, pretty simple to set using the 'Tether' app (more on that later). Separating the 2.4 & 5 bands was also no issue as was allocating the SSID to be extended. The app is better than the utterly awful Netgear/Nighthawk one. Tether does have issues seeing 5ghz networks - my holiday home has a Teltonika RUTX50 5G router and despite every other device seeing the 5Ghz band, the Tether app just stopped seeing it. This means these can't extend the 5GHz band - extremely frustrating. At my main home the 5GHz on my ASUS RT-BE92 (WiFi 7 - 1Gb FTTP) router is seen, no problem. The next issue is the random drop outs of the signal. No rhyme or reason, it just drops out, sometimes momentarily, but less often for a minute or so. It seems to just lose its handshake with the router. Transmit speeds are decent enough - 5GHz average 300 - 400 Mbps & 2.4GHz up to 100 -150Mbps. Both measured about 10ft away from the extender, in another room. I initially set these up as mesh but found it easier to manage/monitor as separate extenders with their own IDs. With the app, these can be managed remotely via the cloud which is really great. I have a few wireless cameras that use the extenders so if there is a connectivity issue I can sort via my phone.

I have tried a few of these and this one is the best so far. You can place the unit a fair distance away from the router, if I had to be critical, it would be that it is not as good transmitting the signal as it is receiving. So my unit is not halfway between the router and the dead area. Works fine for me but would be better if it could transmit it as far as it receives if that makes sense.. good product tho.
