Introduction
TP-Link is a well-known manufacturer of dependable networking hardware and accessories that is present in all facets of daily life. With a track record of stability, performance, and value, TP-Link has chosen a range of products to satisfy every user’s networking requirements. The company is already growing now to meet the demands of tomorrow as the connected lifestyle continues to develop.
The goal of WiFi boosters, repeaters, and extenders is to increase WiFi coverage. The distinction between products that manufacturers refer to as “extenders” and products that they refer to as “repeaters” is not entirely obvious. However, not all WiFi extenders work in the exact same way.

What should I do if the LED doesn’t turn solid on after completing setup via the Tether app or web browser?
You may have entered an incorrect Wi-Fi password for your host router during the configuration. Check the password and try again. Make sure the extender is close to your router, preferably within 16 feet, and away from large electrical appliances. If you have enabled wireless MAC filtering, wireless access control, or access control list (ACL) on your router, disable them first, then follow any method on the front page to complete the configuration. Try setting it up via the WPS button. Reset the extender and go through the configuration again. If you are still having problems, contact our technical support.
How do I reset the extender?
With the extender powered on, use a pin to press the RESET button for 1 second. The extender will reboot.
The TP-Link RE650 AC2600 Wi-Fi Range Extender is the best Wi-Fi extender on the market, according to our extensive lab tests and actual user experience in a real home. It is a plug-in device with excellent performance and range that is simple to set up in almost any space.
Connect your Range Extender to an electrical socket close to your primary Router/AP. 2. Press the WPS button on your primary router or AP first, then press the Range Extender’s WPS button soon after.
But what if your house is bigger than what a single Wi-Fi router can handle? If so, you could always purchase a second TP-Link Wi-Fi router and use it as a repeater. That implies that you will be able to expand the range of your main router so that it covers the entire building.
You don’t need to change your router because Wi-Fi extenders normally operate with any current router. An extender can greatly expand the range of your network; if placed properly, you can even obtain coverage outside, such as in your backyard.
Simply click “Sharing Network” under “Advanced—-Wireless—-Wireless Settings,” and a QR code will be generated. Scan this QR code using the camera app on your devices. Your devices will immediately establish a WiFi connection with your TP-Link router. You must have a camera or an app that can scan QR codes.
It will expand coverage. So let’s say you have a modem with 100mbs speed and downstairs you can only get 10mbs by using this you will get more than 10mbs downstairs. However, if your original modem can give 100mbs that’s the max speed you can get
Yes, our WiFi extenders are universally compatible with WiFi routers.
This is what it says in the back: “Model: TL-WA855RE Power: 100-240V~50/60Hz 0.3A” I hope this information helps.
Theoretically, yes – however it is generally not recommended to daisy chain Wi-Fi extenders to each other, as they operate using the half-duplex transmission. Each “link” in the chain will reduce the overall Wi-Fi bandwidth, potentially resulting in a sub-optimal Wi-Fi environment. Instead, we would recommend considering a Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi solution, such as our Deco M5.
The extender cannot be used in bridge only mode. You can use it as a bridge but you cannot turn off the re-broadcasted wifi signal. It creates another SSID that you cannot disable.
Yes, it isn’t brand specific. I use it to extend a Linksys router.
This works with most routers, cable WiFi & store purchased.
I have Xfinity and it works great.
After plugging in the extender, some basic, easy setup steps are required. It includes a Quick Installation Guide that goes over the optional setup methods and how to quickly complete them.
