TP-LinkBE10000 Wi-Fi 7 Range Extender RE653BE | 10 Gbps Tri-Band Wireless Repeater | 2.5 Gbps Ethernet Port | Internet Signal Booster for Home | 6 GHz, up to 2800 sq.ft, 128 Devices, MLO, EasyMesh

I wanted to increase the WiFi coverage in my house, and this extender does a really good job of that! My router is a TP-Link AX5400 (Archer AX73), and is "EasyMesh" compatible. I tried using other less expensive (aka "cheaper") WiFi extenders, and I got what I paid for. TP-Link recommends this particular extender (the RE815X), and it works great. Setup was a very easy - Plug in the extender while it's near the router, press the WPS buttons on both devices. They link up, and you're good to go. Move the extender to where you want it, check that the signal light indicates it's receiving an acceptable signal, and that's it. The router and extender together use a third 5GHz radio to communicate with each other, and the extender essentially extends both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz band so that BOTH bands get an extended signal. The end result is like having two routers. As for the size of the extender, it's larger than a dual outlet wall plate. I put mine in an unused outlet (imagine that!) under the counter in the kitchen. I put my router in one corner of the house floorplan, and I put the extender in the opposite diagonal corner. I now have better coverage for all my smart home and IOT devices. Devices on the second floor now get a 5GHz connection where they only had coverage for a 2.4GHz before. The signal is strong enough to reach Alexa devices in the backyard. The signal strength for my Ring cameras has improved with the addition of this extender. If I could change just one thing about it, it would be that the connected device names show up in the management interface of the extender. The router will identify all the devices connected to the network and show the name, MAC address, and DHCP assigned IP. The extender shows the devices that are connecting to the network using the extender, but the it (the extender) only shows the MAC address and IP of the devices, and not the name. This would be a "nice-to-have", but isn't a "show-stopper" for me. Overall, I'm very pleased with this product and I would recommend it. It might be seen as a little "pricey", but I think the overall value is well worth the cost. I have no regrets buying it.

I normally use my landlord's WiFi but lately, my signal has been crappy, especially for zoom meetings. Not wanting to interfere with his setup, I tried a couple of newer USB Wi-Fi adapters but the drivers were buggy or they didn't pick up the signal as well as my built in adapter. But this extender worked great for my backyard apt, picking up a strong signal across the yard and from the front side of the main house. Setup is not as easy as the instructions make it sound like it should be. The video wasn't much better. But after trying variations, I got it to work. I have it up high using an extension cord with a laptop cooler stand underneath (it seems to run a little warm and more importantly, my apt gets super hot in the summer). I'm tickled with how well it's working.

I used this to extend the signal from my Starlink, through the TP Link router in the garage (the only place the Starlink was mountable) to the rest of our cabin. It was comically easy to add it to the router. Push the button on both. Done.After installation, this extender broadcast to two AppleTV's and 8 devices simultaneously without dropping. We purposely connected all the devices we had with us to test the system.The Mac app "WiFi Scanner" confirmed a strong tri-band signal.I also love that it does not have a "wall wart" power supply, but instead plugs directly into a wall plug. Nice and clean.

Some reviews state that this extender doesn't work with Tmobile gateway but I tried it anyway and found it works great! I somehow get faster connection through this wifi extender than even when I am close to the non-extended wireless signal. Head scratcher.It did take a couple hours though because there are several minor issues going on.1. The quick setup that is most easily done through manual IP and physical ethernet connection works exactly once then blocks you out. If you fill in any of the wireless data wrong the first time you will need to factory reset the device and wait for it to reinstall the firmware image (about 5 mintues). Before you can connect again. This is probably why other reviewers gave it 1-star and returned it.2. I had to not just disable my VPN but actually uninstall it from my setup computer just to test whether there was an internet connection, otherwise it always said no internet. I believe this has more to do with the VPN software than TPLink hardware or setup. After setup I reinstalled the VPN and everything worked fine.The physical shape and size of the device is like a doll with arms and legs and plugs directly into the wall outlet. It is rather heavy and almost unplugs itself under its own weight. Also it gets very warm so it must be sucking 100 watts or so constantly on the electric bill.Because of the bulky form factor and heat consumption I will deduct one star. Performance-wise its very good!

Setup was easy and the WiFi is definitely better in places that it used to be spotty.

Works great. I tried three different extenders and this one hands down works the best and is the fastest.
