TP-Link AX1500 WiFi 6 Extender, Up to 1500Mbps, Next-Gen Dual Band WiFi Booster, WiFi Repeater with Gigabit Port, Access Point Mode, 2 External Antennas, Easy Set-Up, OneMesh Compatiable(RE505X)

Had to pick up a signal from a building about 50 feet away, this was the only extender out of t I ordered which was able to do so. Of course the connection speed is only 14mb/ps but that's all I need for my purpose, a security camera. 2.5 and 5ghz bands are both available. The actual camera is about another 70 feet away and divided by a brick wall. It's easy to set up with the tp-link tether app. If unplugged it resets in about minute. The Signal strength at the camera is a full wifi icon! For the price I think it's a great extender. It has multiple functions too, none of which I utilize though.

WiFi is now useful throughout my house! This is an amazing difference from before. Zoom meetings no longer stall, pages download rapidly, and streaming video never pauses. Measured download speeds are 20 times faster than before as measured using Android smart phones and Windows laptops. Upload speeds are the same or at most twice as fast.This extender was simple and quick to setup and install using the WPS button on my router by following the provided instructions. It creates a new WiFi SSID by adding the suffix _EXT to the end of your primary router's SSID. I used an app that measures WiFi signal strength to determine the best spot to place the repeater in my house so that the signal from my primary router is strong enough but the new signal from the extender covers the house. We have had this now for about a week and the results are excellent. Sometimes it seems like the TP-Link download speed, even near the primary router, is greater than the speed provided using the primary router WiFi.I had been using a five year old Almond WiFi repeater which is no match to this new extender. The Almond would would stop working and have to be reset whenever the electricity went out. It took many minutes to reboot and startup. The signal provided was almost useless in the farthest bedroom, download speeds were extremely slow, and both zoom meetings and streaming videos were often erratic. The improvements noted above (20 times download speed) were measured compared to this repeater. I have now discarded the old Almond repeater.

A good little extender. 4 star only due to not liking the plug formfactor forcing a wall AC plate or power strip mount. How about a nice table stand?. LOVE that it's easy to set up as Wireless Access Point and not just a dual-band wireless extender. I use ethernet as the source rather than the base-router's wireless for max possible performance and ultra-low lag (preempts degradation from residential walls, doors, furniture, other device RF noise). I get crazy-good performance (1-3 GBps) using a separate MoCA adapter over existing home cable by plugging a MoCA adapter into a cable TV wire splitter and then just plug in the ethernet cable from it into the RE505X ethernet port. Features I'd like to see: Ability to edit in device client name directly from Admin screen (some older network devices do not report their names with the MAC address client list). It would also be nice to see the actual per device data/rate and loss stats from the admin screens and have a bandwidth stress test facility feature in the Admin screen. I see occasional out of time order system logging "quirks" on the admin screen (not sure if I caused that when I was tinkering around with it and rebooting etc.). I also get occasional "DHCP Detection Failed" log warnings that reset by next check that does not seem to cause any operational issues. Nice that the 5Ghz band supports the latest WIFI-6 standard (802.11AX) for mind numbing low lag performance when sourced over ethernet as an access point or a really good inside of home point to point wireless extender. Another nice thing is that it has 3 levels of RF power so one does not have to be running high power all day long and subjecting oneself and other devices to all that RF energy unless its really needed to get out far from the main network (backyard, pool, utility garage etc.). A great little extender that won't bust the wallet and when smartly set up is super high performance.

Extender was delivered on time. Not hard to set up and works great.

I bought this Extender (RE505X) SPECIFICALLY for it to repeat my 802.11AX (or WIFI-6) signal. Two things, First, It is Refurbished! Can't find anywhere on the Amazon add where it says REFURBISHED!. Second, the thing DOES NOT REPEAT in 802.11AX! It repeats in 802.11AC, but that's not why I bought it. I have a RE205 which does the same thing! I was so excited about getting a cheap AX device, I bought two! Now I will be returning two.Amending: Seems you have to have WiFi devices CAPABLE of doing WIFI-6. OK. They work as intended, but I'm still not happy about the refurbished thing!Amending again: Promised myself I'd never buy refurbished! Did anyway (sneaky Amazon). I'm returning one of these repeaters as it will not maintain client connections and 5Ghz speed tests start fast and slow down exponentially before the test completes. The other one is working fine, right now. Gonna keep 3 stars, because these extenders are clunky.
