This TP-Link AX1800 WiFi 6 Range Extender (RE615X) has been a lifesaver for my home network! I was struggling with weak WiFi signals in certain areas of my house, particularly upstairs and in the backyard. This extender was incredibly easy to set up using the TP-Link Tether app. Seriously, it took just a few minutes, and the app walked me through the whole process.

The improvement in coverage is remarkable. I now have strong, reliable WiFi in all the previously dead zones. Streaming video is smooth, and I can finally work from anywhere in the house without worrying about dropped connections. The dual-band WiFi 6 speeds are noticeably faster, making everything feel more responsive.

I also appreciate the Ethernet port, which allows me to connect a wired device, like my smart TV, directly to the extender for an even more stable connection. The fact that it can also function as an access point is a bonus, giving me even more flexibility.

Another great feature is its compatibility with OneMesh. While I don't currently have a OneMesh router, it's good to know that I can easily create a seamless mesh network in the future if I decide to upgrade.

Overall, I'm extremely happy with the performance and value of this TP-Link AX1800 Range Extender. It's a fantastic solution for anyone looking to boost their WiFi signal and eliminate dead zones. Highly recommended!

I live in an old house built in the forties that has a lot of lathe and plaster walls making dead spots prevalent all over the house. When you’re near the modem/router we get crazy good speed but as soon as you go down a hallway you start to drop off precipitously. I bought one of these range extenders as a shot in the dark to extend our wifi coverage to the backyard for these nice Ohio summer days on the iPad watching our Guardians play. The range extender worked so well I bought another one to further our household coverage!

The range extender is slightly on the larger side as compared to an older extender I bought years ago that really didn’t work. This one also has two antennae that stick out and swivel up and down. I guess this is a nice feature to have but I wish there was a way to tell how your signal strength was being affected by a slight movement up or down of the antennae. Otherwise I just leave one pointed straight up and the other slightly angled at about 45º in the hopes this works best.

Normally I’m opposed to downloading yet another app with the newest piece of hardware I buy but I did download Tether, the associated app with this device. To my surprise the app is extremely intuitive and well laid out and very user friendly. The app makes setting up the device extremely easy. Of note, when I did purchase the second extender it was just as easy to add the second one to the app. The app is a big reason I purchased another of the same extender rather than try another brand. Super easy to use and keeps things nice and tidy on the phone.

The hardware/software combination has a ton of settings that I’m sure more advanced users will revel in but I was able to set up the extenders in almost no time flat and I was up and running. My main modem/router has the capability to enable OneMesh software as does these extenders but I chose not to enable this feature. A big problem I have with the OneMesh feature is that all the smart devices in the house (of which we have about 40) all seem to float on different connection points and if the phone isn’t on the same connection point the devices often don’t work correctly. I’ve had no issues with connection, speed, or signal strength since purchasing these two range extenders for the house.

I am truly pleased with this TP-Link range extender product and couldn’t be happier with the results. I can now freely go about the house and keep a solid connection and I can sit about 100’ from the house and stream content on my iPad in the backyard now. Couldn’t recommend more highly. I do hope this review was helpful for you in some way. Cheers!

Extends very well, the connection is super good. The size is a bit odd if you plan on using both wall sockets but flipping it upside down works fine. Gets 300mbs+ easily and the Ethernet cable allows me pc to hit 400. no issues and easy installation

I am using this range extender as a wireless EasyMesh satellite node with a TP-Link BE230 Main router. In that context, it does what it is advertised to do and is easy to setup. Understand that when you are using it this way, your device traffic travels wirelessly to/from device to node to main router which doubles the traffic on the RF and lowers the throughput. And for most situations that is fast enough. I routinely stream video through this extender with no issues.

I also have a TP-Link AX21 router that is acting as a satellite node in my mesh network. Except it has a wired back haul connection to the main router LAN. Which means when connected to this node, your traffic goes via WI-FI to the node, but wired after that to the main router and the Internet. Running speed tests, the difference between using the two satellite nodes in my system is significant.

So, wouldn't you think, that given the Ethernet jack on the RE615X would be capable of doing wired back haul using that port? That is what I was hoping for, but was disappointed to discover that it can't do that, at least with the current firmware. it is an opportunity missed and for that, it gets dinged a star.

One more comment which marginally off topic here. Why not just buy an AX21 or similar and use that as satellite node instead of buying a RE615X? In many ways, as I said the router works better because it supports wired back haul. But, TP-Link's lame firmware in the AX21 (and I read other variants of their routers) when configured in range extender mode will not let you adjust ANY settings. In fact, it won't even let you log into the router. You have to reset the router to get it out of that mode. At least the RE615X allow you log into it and tweak settings (e.g., giving it a static IP address).

And finally, as another consideration in buying an RE615X, the idea that your device will seamlessly change access points when walking around is a bit oversold. That is probably true with most mesh systems (not just EasyMesh) because I think that it is the device that has to decide to switch, not the mesh node. Through testing with WI-FI analyzers, I have pretty much proven that my devices tenaciously hang on to the connection they have rather than switching nodes, even if there is a closer one with a much stronger signal.

In my situation, which can’t be the only one, I wanted to extend my signal to another room in my shop. The shop is roughly 80x100 with steel walls deciding the sections.

The problem is my main WiFi router wouldn’t get any signal going through the walls to the other room. Even though they were 20ft and 50ft away respectively.

So I bought this to hardwire an Ethernet cable from my router to this extender to use the same network signal and essentially have a another WiFi emitting device in another room on the other side of a steel wall to get signal.

The problem that you must be aware of is there is absolutely no way to set this up in access point mode UNTIL you have wirelessly connected to your network. I figured I could go into the initial setup and change modes immediately before going through the entire setup process, a process that ONLY works if your extender can connect to your wireless router, connect to it, finalize its settings, reboot to save them, then go back into your setup and finally be able to change modes to “access point” mode.

So first point of contention, the device will NOT finish setup (errors and times out) if you have an active ethernet cable attached to it. In my case, that was the signal from one of the lan ports of my router plugging into this extender (remember, no signal through steel walls).

So easy enough fix. Simple set the device up next to your existing router, then after finalizing setup, rebooting, changing to AP mode, moving router to its new location, and plugging in Ethernet cable, it works fine.

My advice would be to have your team update the drivers / setup to immediately ask, as in the 1st step, the mode someone will be using this device. That would save tons of time and headache as I’m sure many people would use this device hardwired from a long lan port run off their router like I am.

After that, seems to work fine and exactly what I was looking for.

Just be aware the install instructions don’t exactly give you this info. And above all, if you plan on using the Ethernet port on the extender, DO NOT plug anything into it until AFTER your setup has completed and finalized. I had to do 2 hard resets of the device before I figured out that was what was stopping me from the initial setup as well.

Just an FYI….

Due to the size and layout of my home, there was no way to get a centrally placed router to reach certain areas with a strong enough signal. I decided to buy this extender to help fix these issues and it has worked out quite well. Now, most devices that had weaker signals have had better connectivity, especially the many smart devices that I have outside of my main living space (basement, video doorbell, external cameras, etc.). Installation was very easy, and setup with my TP-Link router was simple. The only surprise really came from the size of the product - it is much bigger than I thought it would be. I had space for it, but if you want this to be inconspicuous, that is going to be a tough one. This doesn't detract from the value, as I have it in a location that is not very visible, but if form factor matters to you, take close note of the size (including antennas) before buying.

Our Wi-Fi was pitiful and spotty throughout the house especially when needed the most. The TP-Link is top notch and very reliable. Now there is no longer any connection problems regardless of who at the same time is on gaming, working or streaming. I wish I thought about buying this before.

Works perfectly! Needed something to improve the WiFi signal to the garage opener and the pool equipment and this does exactly that. I only have those two things connected to it and while it’s extending my house WiFi, I have it as a different name, so it keeps everything separate. Works extremely well. Haven’t had it over a summer yet, so we will see how the hot garage affects it and I can update my review if needed.

Ich nutze den TP-Link Repeater in Kombination mit meiner Fritz!Box 7490 und bin rundum zufrieden. Die Einrichtung war super einfach: Repeater in die Steckdose, WPS-Taste am Router und Repeater drücken, und schon war die Verbindung hergestellt. Kein kompliziertes Setup, kein langes Herumprobieren – das Ganze hat keine zwei Minuten gedauert.

Die Verbindung zur Fritz!Box funktioniert absolut problemlos. Ich nutze das 5 GHz-Band, und die Leistung ist hervorragend. Selbst im Garten habe ich jetzt ein starkes WLAN-Signal, wo vorher kaum Empfang war. Streaming und Surfen laufen stabil und ohne Abbrüche.

Besonders positiv: Der Repeater ist kompakt, arbeitet leise und fällt kaum auf. Die Signalstärke und Geschwindigkeit sind deutlich besser als erwartet.

Ein kleiner Tipp: Am besten den Repeater nicht zu weit vom Router platzieren – dann bleibt die Verbindung wirklich schnell und stabil.

Mein Fazit:

Schnelle Einrichtung, perfekte Kompatibilität zur Fritz!Box, und endlich WLAN bis in den Garten. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

Nog niet kunnen gebruiken (camping), maar specificaties zien er goed uit! Vorige model voldeed uitstekend, tot een stroompiek van 300v!!!!

Una vez conectado, entras en la App y ya te permite configurarlo, seleccionando la red wifi que desees y a la que deberás introducir su contraseña. En un par de segundos, ya quedará configurado.

📕 FUNCIONAMIENTO

Este repetidor de TP-Link, puede funcionar en modo repetidor o en modo AP (punto de acceso)

- REPETIDOR: El modo más usado, ya que te permite conectar tu dispositivo a la red wifi que desees y extender esa red wifi a zonas en donde no alcanza la red principal. Para ello, es recomendable situar el dispositivo en una zona alejada del router principal, pero con una señal de cobertura óptima.

- MODO AP: En este modo, puedes crear una red wifi, pero en lugar de conectarse a la red principal por wifi, te conectas mediante LAN (cable de red) a través del puerto Ethernet que tiene el repetidor.

Para ello debes tener una clavija de conexión que esté un poco lejos del router principal, ya que si lo conectas al lado, no te dará más distancia de la que te de el router general.

📶 PUERTO ETHERNET

La clavija RJ 45 que tiene este repetidor puede funcionar de dos modos: como entrada y como salida.

• ENTRADA : como ya comenté antes, funciona como entrada, cuando tengas el dispositivo configurado en modo AP, para ello necesita recibir la conexión a internet a través del puerto Ethernet.

• SALIDA : Si configuras el dispositivo como repetidor, cogerá la conexión de internet a través de la comunicación wifi, en este caso, permitirá tener el puerto de Ethernet, configurado como salida, para que puedas dar servicio de internet a consolas, televisores, pc, portátil...

8️⃣ VALORACIÓN

Adquirí este dispositivo para enviar la señal de vídeo de un transmisor HDMI de una habitación a otra, hacia otro repetidor de este modelo.

Antes de probar estos dispositivos, había probado con otros de gama más baja y la señal tenía cortes y no era nada fluida. Con este modelo, puedo tener una calidad de imagen como si tuviese la salida directa de mi decodificador de satélite.

Hay que comentar que la velocidad que nos indica, es la suma de las dos bandas: 600 Mbps a 2,4 GHz y 1300 Mbps a 5 GHz, pero no quiere decir que conseguirás una velocidad de 1900Mbps en tus dispositivos móviles. Esta velocidad que indica, es la velocidad que de comunicación entre dispositivos.

Con el router principal de casa tengo una velocidad de unos 600mbps y si conecto este modelo a la red wifi en modo repetidor, me anda en una velocidad de 150mbps. Esta prueba la hice estando el repetidor al lado del router principal, por lo que no conseguía una velocidad alta. Decepción.

Hice otra prueba, poniendo el repetidor alejado del router principal y la recepción de señal era bastante buena y tenía una velocidad de más de 100mbps a más de 11 metros de distancia, sin elementos que interfirieran en la señal. Muy bien.

Es un dispositivo con bonito diseño, compacto aunque con un tamaño mayor que otros modelos. Tiene una fácil configuración mediante de su App Tether

Si dispones de un router con emparejamiento WPS, no necesitas tener la app instalada. En el emparejamiento WPS, te creará una nueva conexión wifi con el mismo nombre que la que está clonando, pero con la terminación "_EXT" al final de la misma. La contraseña será la misma que la wifi principal. Para cambiar el nombre de la wifi o la contraseña, necesitarías hacerlo desde la App.

La App es bastante completa y tiene la opción de realizar diferentes configuraciones:

* Configuración rápida de internet

* Cambiar propiedades de la red extendida

* Asistente de localización, para determinar la mejor ubicación del mismo

* Opción de compartir wifi de modo rápido

* Control del led indicador de funcionamiento, horas de funcionamiento, deshabilitar..

* Ajustes de la configuración LAN

* Ajustes de configuración del servidor DHCP

* Cambiar potencia de la señal wifi. Nivel de potencia bajo, medio, alto.

* Programación de apagado del repetidor.

Este router viene con un puerto ethernet de 1000mbps, cosa que los modelos más económicos sólo traen hasta 100mbps y con un wifi dual de 2.4 y 5Ghz con tecnología Mimo, que en teoría nos permite una mayor cobertura y hace que pueda conectarse de forma simultánea con múltiples dispositivos de una manera más eficiente y con menos pérdidas.

✅ CONCLUSIÓN

Un repetidor con buenas prestaciones y una relación calidad/precio en la media del mercado.

Cumple perfectamente con su función y en mi caso estoy satisfecho con su rendimiento..

Es un repetidor fácil de configurar, ideal para todo el usuario medio sin grandes conocimientos de informática que sólo quiere aumentar la zona de cobertura wifi de su vivienda.

👍 RECOMENDABLE.
