TP-LinkMesh WiFi 6 Booster, WiFi Repeater, Ultraxtend WiFi Range Extender with 1 Gigabit Port, 1500Mbps Internet Repeater, 5GHz, App Control Easy Setup, UK Plug (RE505X)

I had read some reviews about the RE815XE and was a bit apprehensive given the price, but I kept an eye out for it to come on sale and bought it.The TP-Link AXE5400 router is great and was suited to my needs. Large old house, a lot of brick or stone walls internally.However having my home internet upgraded from 30MB to 500MB due to a new fiber link (I had the option of up to a 1.6GB/s fiber link, this seemed overkill for me so I opted for the 500MB/s).Due to the internet upgrade I was going to need something more than a strong 2.5ghz signal given the increase in bandwidth.The RE815XE has brought a strong 5.2ghz band across the whole house - partlly because its a really good piece of kit and partly because I was fortunate to be able to position it really well.Highest speed I can get in my office with fiber is 80MB without the RE815XE, with it installed I have not yet found a capacity limit for a 500MB fiber connection. Latency has not been an issue either as I usually play 40K DarkTide and other FPS online games and have not had an issue with latency.For some reason I have never detected a WiFi 6 connection despite my PC and mobile phone being capable of using it, on either the AXE5400 or the RE815XE. I have read elsewhere that in the UK the WiFi 6E on this model is used as a backhaul in order to increase bandwidth capacity. I am unsure how accurate this is, I just know that the RE815XE has allowed me to make the most out of my new fiber connection and I have no issues in recommending it.Just wait for it to come on sale as it is a good, though pricey bit of kit.

Good WiFi extender, easy to setup, so far no issues.

This tp-link AX1500 Wi-Fi Range Extender has solved our problem. We recommend it. We live in a 3-bedroom flat, with one bedroom used as an office to work from home so signal strength and reliability are critical. Last month we changed our broadband provider and router equipment from Virgin to Sky. The signal in the office got worse which was unexpected as it is not far away but there are two room doors and some furnishings which may obstruct. I was having issues, sluggish, freezing on Zoom calls, audio cut outs, unable to swiftly load multiple tabs/pages. Using the Windows Command prompt, I took over 45 readings of the signal strength coming into the laptop over four weeks. The signal strength was below 69% over half the time and never higher than 81%-85% and then only very infrequently. Since getting the AX1500, all readings at all times with all doors shut are above 90% (92%-97%). My work laptop is faster, snappier, and no more cutting out on Zoom calls. The extender device was super easy and fast to set up. I was happy to be a little surprised that this extender works so well, exceeding my expectations - as some of the other reviews were not as positive and it made me hesitant to purchase for a week or two, until the poor performance forced me to take a chance and buy it. I am so glad I did. I hope your experience with it will be a positive as ours.

Combined with a TP link router in Mesh mode, these provide reliable 150MBs comms.However! Don't use more than two. Or if you do, make sure that third one is in open space or out in the shed 20M away.I've got trouble with reflections in some parts of my house. The front hall has small, heavily bricked areas and anything there bounces wifi around. Plcament of the router and repeaters needs lots of testing and thought.The router in the garage (my workspace) combined with one of these extenders each end of the large open plan living room/diner works fantastically.Put a third one close to one of the others (upstairs, through RF invisible wood) or in the reflective front hall - and collisions abound. Result is a confused router, little or no bandwidth and sadness.The open, thought-out and tested plan using just two expanders is bullet proof and fast :-)

I bought two of these extenders and installed them in different parts of the house. The installation process was straightforward and there was a big improvement in WiFi coverage throughout the property. However, after 8 months the first unit started intermittently disconnecting from the router and after 14 months the second unit also failed in this manner. I spent a lot of time and effort via TP-Link technical support trying to resolve the problem, but with no success. Eventually I decided to return both units, but was initially met with some resistance from both Amazon and the manufacturer. However, I persevered and obtained a full refund. I replaced the extenders with different models from the TP-Link range and so far, have had no further problems.

As expected from to link works flawless

On the Tp-link website this claims to support the latest easymesh ecosystem. However, the version supplied is a V1 that does not support it.The V2 does, but I have not been able to source it in the UK.It does work well and setup is easy via the app. Although the confusion around the firmware that tp-link have planned to rollout in the future (waiting nearly 2 years so far), is misleading and needs support from manufacturer to update asap. If this was the case I would’ve rated 5*Connectivity is ok, however due to not supporting easymesh yet. Sometimes you can get an annoying lag and when moving from one room to another.
