Product description
Boost Whole Home Wi-Fi with Your Existing Router A single router has limited Wi-Fi coverage and always causes Wi-Fi dead zones. RE550 wirelessly connects to your existing router and expands its Wi-Fi signal into areas it can’t reach on its own. Enjoy your stable network experience wherever you are at home. Faster Dual Band Wi-Fi up to 1900 Mbps RE550 delivers dual band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) to transmit Wi-Fi signals, doubling the performance of each band. It enables you to keep more devices connected at the same time with its 600 Mbps 2.4 GHz and 1300 Mbps 5 GHz dual bands. Use the 2.4 GHz band to send email and browse the web and the 5 GHz band for gaming and HD streaming. Wi-Fi keeps Strongest for Unlimited Moving With TP-Link OneMesh Technology, it’s easy to form a wifi network with a single Wi-Fi name for seamless whole home coverage. Just connect RE550 to a OneMesh router. Always enjoy the strongest Wi-Fi when you’re walking around with no need to search around for a stable connection. Adaptive Path Selection: Keeps Itself Working at Top Speed Adaptive Path Selection keeps your network running at optimal speeds by automatically choosing the fastest connection path to the router. Always keep your devices fast and stable—ideal for network environments crowded with many devices and applications. High Speed Mode: Maximized Speed with Dedicated Backhaul Uses one dedicated Wi-Fi band as backhaul and another dedicated Wi-Fi band as an access point to maximize the bandwidth on the extended Wi-Fi. Built-In Access Point Mode RE550 is more than a wireless range extender. Simply plug an Ethernet cable into its Ethernet port and easily turn your wired internet connection into a 3×3 MIMO dual band wireless access point. Control at Your Fingertips Set up and manage your Wi-Fi through the TP-Link Tether app from your smartphone (Android, iOS), including TP-Link routers and range extenders.

So last week I finally decided to give another chance to look for a better Extender, I found this, but at first I didn't have much high hope, I would just try it and then refund it if the performance is not what I expected. But to my surprise, the signal is so much stronger providing VERY stable and solid connections ! Now I feel 100% with this extender providing solid connection, I can see my devices loading faster, and not drops at all, everything just work so much better now. Very happy. Now in my case, I'm not so much concerned about "dead zones" is more like I need a solid connection to where I need to use it and this extender performed just that, a solid connection. My internet connect is pretty solid so if the extender can extend it, then everything will be fine, again, this extender did a solid job in extending connection. I'm sure this extender can always broadcast a very long range of connection to help reduce dead zones/spots.
Oh, in terms of installation/setup, I do recommend to use the "Tether" app to setup. It's easier for most users. But if you have experience with extenders, you can always connect to the extender network and use a browser (i.e. your phone, iPad, or even a computer) to configure and setup the extender. For me, I used the Tether app to setup the Extender, and I used the Tether app to check status of the extender but the browser offers you more options in settings (i.e. changing wifi passwords - you cannot do that with the Tether app). The instructions are all there in the piece of paper and it's not long so don't need to be scared, it's pretty easy. Just follow what it says. And basically you can just setup/configure using the Tether app but the app is 80 Mb so I might delete it and just connect to the extender and configure / monitor from a browser going forward (just need to save the URL on my browser)
If you want to use the Tether to setup/configure this extender you will need (do it before you setup the extender):
1. Create a d-link account (very easy, just need an email and create a password)
2. Have a Password Handy for your Extender - make 1 up (You need to create a login password to your Extender - You don't want everyone to be able to connect to your Extender and mess things up right?) - you will still need this even if you don't use a Tether app to setup your extender.
3. Have your WIFI password ready (the password of the WIFI connection that you want the extender to use). If you are connecting your extender to your router/modem directly with a cable, you do not need this but I think most people are trying to extender their WIFI connections wirelessly.
Worth every penny imo, I got this on sale for $60 CDN + tax. . 5 Stars product. Good Luck and hope this extender will be the last one you need for years to come.
Set up was really easy. I like that the power connector is built right in so that I didn't have to worry about running wires and mounting it to my wall. Though it does prevent larger plugs from going into the socket below it.
I also like that it can act as a wired access point. So if the WIFI bridge proves to be unstable I can run an ethernet cable to it instead.
I haven't tested it much with conference calls, no meetings today. But I have loaded up youtube videos and scrubbed through the time line. Seems to snappy enough.
I think it's good value for the money too.
It instantly covered the two bathrooms that were not getting wifi coverage from my newly installed Wifi6 router with -+ 1gb transfer. This extender gave the transfer reading of 200-300 mbps which wasn’t bad in these two bathrooms.
IPhones don’t switch automatically to stronger connection, so it stays connected to the extender and internet speed is still good and no issues at all.
Im happy with the extender but I hoped it had still shown at least 500 mbps transfer rate. But still good and no issues. I would recommend it as it’s sleeker and was affordable than other wifi6 extenders.
Good sides:
1) Setting it up was a breeze, with the instruction per APP. Once configured, the extender effectively extended the range of my WiFi network to previously unreachable areas of my home. The extender offers a wider coverage than the equipment from the Fibre Internet carrier.
2) The TP-Link Tether app made it easy to monitor and manage my extended network from my smartphone.
3) The price is very good and you own it, compared with renting from the carrier at a monthly cost of $5.
However,
1) The speed of their WiFi network may be slightly sacrificed, due to walls, floors, and other obstacles as well as the long distance between the extender and the main router. But, this is acceptable (as I still get around 200MBPS while my plan offers 500MBPS)
2) no obvious difference between the three external antennas up or down.
3) One-Mesh and Deco-Mesh are different. Thus, this can only be used as an extender for the Deco-Mesh (provided by the Carrier).
Overall, the TP-Link AC1900 WiFi Extender (RE550) has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance, ease of use, and reliability. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their WiFi coverage and speeds at home.
Top reviews from other countries
Please note that the AX 21 TP-Link router has a design feature they call One Mesh. This extender also supports One Mesh. So unlike the extenders I have tried in the past, this extender maintains the same router channel name and SSID. So roaming is a seamless experience. I advise anyone looking for a good extender to consider this unit. But research is needed to make sure this extender is compatible with your router. I bought this extender because it specifically states it is One Mesh, and even bears the moniker "AX1800", undoubtedly with reference to my TP-Link AX1800 (AX21). Always choose an extender that allows for maintaining the same router channel name AND SSID. Other routers also have a feature to mesh with their extenders, so start your search there. Hope this helps!
