RE815XE AXE5400Mbps Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6E Internet Booster, Range Extender Booster Hotspot with 1 Gigabit Port, 160 MHz Channels, Built-In Access Point Mode, Smart Roaming One-Mesh, Easy Setup

I do not usually bother with reviews, but this is so good I had to say something. I have struggled with rubbish wifi coverage in our home for ever. Big old house with thick walls and three floors. This has fixed the problem when two wifi pods from the provider did nothing.

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.

What I loved: The setup was really straightforward — TP-Link always does a good job with that. Once connected, the coverage boost was noticeable straight away. Dead zones became usable zones, and devices held onto their signal much more reliably. Speeds are solid, especially with the WiFi 6E band available. When it’s in a good placement, it genuinely feels like you’ve extended your main router rather than sticking on a cheap repeater. What made me sigh loudly: Performance depends a lot on where you put it. Move it slightly too far from the main signal and the speeds drop more than expected. Not a deal-breaker, just requires some experimenting to get the best out of it. Should you buy it? Yes — as long as you place it well, it’s a great way to extend coverage and boost speeds around the house. For mesh setups, it integrates nicely and works reliably once dialled in. Easy setup. Strong speeds. Good coverage improvement. Just a bit sensitive to placement. Still recommend — especially for WiFi 6/6E homes needing a coverage boost.

I bought it for its GB LAN connection speed and is doing the job of giving fast and stable WIRED Internet speed to my PC. That's why it has 5 stars for me. Who wants to buy it for other reasons must know something more. For example most absurd thing: you need to have access to your email address to be able to connect this WIFI extender to Internet. The question is how to access your email address through Internet if you FIRST need to connect to INTERNET on this device? The answer (from the producer) is that if you can't access your email address there is a workaround if you have access to the main router. And if you need to extend a hotel network and don't have access to the main router? That's why I bought my previous WIFI range extender, TP LINK TL-WA850RE, to use it for having a more stable and acceptable internet connection while travel, especially in hotels and did the job pretty well. With the new ones is not possible to do the same, not only because of the weird way to connect them to the Internet, but because they are much more bulkier, ugliest in the room and have that 4 expandable antenna which are all both transmitters and receivers, can be easily snapped and don't fit in almost any wall socket because of their size. These and many other reasons makes them useless when travelling. When installed at home, they must be well hidden to protect that 4 antennas which makes them look like a fried chicken when they are all extended. Of course, don't buy them if you want loose weight. For some reason, even with all 4 antennas extended, received signal is weaker than to my previous WA-850RE, which doesn't have any visible antenna. Is very difficult to find a wall socket having enough room around to fit fully extended "fried chicken". If you have 2 "fried chickens" in the same room, for some reason, (maybe it is my fault because I don't know how to make them work) they are bugging each other and the resulted WIFI signal is much worst than if you would have only one. This didn't happen with previous model.

Absolute waste of time, could not get this extender to connect, even direct plugged in via Ethernet would not work. Tether app stuck in a loop with no way to fix the issue. Support pointless on both chat, disconnected after 20minutes and telephone conversation even worse with pigeon English conversations that make no comprehensible sense.

TP-Link are one of the few companies that are pushing out routers and other accessories that can make use of the 6E standard. Or so they claim. In reality, things are not what they seem. I purchased a TP-Link AXE75 some months ago, which is a Triple band (2/5/6) router and access point. It's really good - cannot knock it at all. One of its claims is that it can use the 6GHz band to implement a wireless back-haul to other 6E capable devices. What this means is that if you were to put, say, a similarly equipped range extender somewhere in your home, the two would establish a private 6GHz back-haul over which they would carry any 2 and 5 GHz traffic. This is very useful, since it frees up the 2/5 networks for data from your devices, rather than storing and forwarding the data over the 2/5 links, slowing them down. Trouble is, until recently, TP-Link didn't make such a range extender. But they told me they were working on one. And here it is - just released - the RE815XE. Now that it is installed, I can see that whilst it is working well, it is NOT implementing the advertised 6GHz back haul. Even the carton tells you that it will do this. It will not. I've spoken with the rather good TP-Link support team and they confirm that it is a feature still to be added. 10/10 for honesty. But this product has been available for months in the US. They've had plenty of time to get this feature sorted out. Maybe a regulatory hurdle has held them up? Who knows. Anyway - just to manage your expectations. This device does work well as a Mesh range extender, but it's greatest potential trick - the 6GHz wireless back-haul - is not available. Yet. TP-Link claim it's coming in a future firmware update. If and when it does turn up, I'll update this post.

Early days but impressed with ease of connection and apparent WiFi improvement. The product is good the delivery by Amazon - not so good. My parcel was delivered next door and his was thrown at my doorstep I went to him and exchanged deliveries.

My extender -Re815ex went off line for some reason. No way could I get it working. Support was busy and called me back. Phillip got it working in no time and without any problems.The extender is working again, thanks to Phillip.

ممتاز جدا ينقل بيانات بسرعة عالية ويغطي مدى ١٥ متر تقريبا .. الأفضل توصله بالمودم بكيبل عشان تاخذ السرعة كاملة .. عندي الياف باقة ٣٠٠ وسرعة التحميل للألعاب والأفلام توصل إلى ٣٥ ميقا تقريبا

مقويات الشركة غنية عن التعريف وجدا ممتازة ، انتقادي الوحيد ان مدى تغطيتها نفس الموديل اللي سبقه وحتى سرعة شبكة 2.4 مو مثل المودم فإذا تبغى تستفيد من قوته مدد له سلك نت واستعمل تردد 5 ، اخذته بسبب انه يدعم تردد 6 فاللمستقبل

ممتاز جدا لتقوية اشارة واي فاي . سرعة المودم الاساسي 300 ميجا بعد ربط الجهاز في المودم الاساسي على بعد 10 امتار اعطاني 200 ميجا 👍🏼

منتج ولا غلطة انصح به

لا يستحق الشراء ابدا ، الكثير من العيوب لايلقط الشبكات حتى وان كانت قريبه Not worth buying at all, too many flaws, it doesn't pick up networks even if they are close
