The price/quality ratio is great, I will buy again.

It is important to note that the RE190 supports Wi-Fi 5 (/ac) networks and does not support Wi-Fi 6 (/ax). This model also does not have an Ethernet port (the older RE200/205/220 models have it).

Pros
  • The RE190 repeater is compact, handy and simple. This is the cheapest TP-Link repeater model that allows you to create TP-Link OneMesh home networks. Offered since 2022, currently available in 4 hardware versions. The formula is AC750, that is, Wi-Fi speed is theoretically up to 433 Mbps (at 5 GHz) or up to 300 Mbps (at 2.4 GHz). In my apartment, one RE190 is configured to work complete with a TP-Link Archer C80 router and forms a truly seamless OneMesh network (4 more similar repeaters can be added to it, but not in a chain, but directly to the router). All clients connect perfectly to the RE190 on the unloaded 5GHz band. The speed of receiving / transmitting data significantly depends on the place in the apartment, but next to the repeater the results are excellent (up to 270 Mbps). In the kitchen through a thick brick wall - noticeably worse (no more than 60 Mbps). To monitor the status of the OneMesh network and the repeater itself, there is a convenient application for Tether smartphones.
Cons
  • Minor disadvantages - very bright LED indicators without the ability to turn them off; consumes quite a lot (7 watts, so warm all the time).

Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

It copes with the functionality, at the household level it is quite a decent device, I did not use it in solving complex problems, watching TV programs and playing games. Impressions are positive, easy to set up.

A really necessary purchase, I'm glad I found this product.

I bought for a three-room apartment, because. the router’s signal doesn’t reach the kitchen . There is a TP-LINK Archer A6 router, also dual-band, the application was already there, plugged it into the outlet, 30 seconds of settings (it does everything itself, even the mesh network it created itself, basically just click next or ok ) and you're done. Using the application, you can select the position of the amplifier (shows a radius of 5GHz and 2.4GHz) so that it is in a good place. Now the…

Pros
  • Easy to connect, convenient Tether app from TP-Link
Cons
  • No

I didn³'t expect the quality to be this good.

The application has an assistant for placing the repeater in the apartment. Works in tandem with a tp-link router in the OneMesh network. As the manufacturer writes, a seamless connection is provided throughout the apartment, which is really convenient and great. How it works in tandem with other routers - I do not know. There are no dead zones left, it performs its task.

Pros
  • Dual band. It is easily configured through a proprietary application, but it is always possible through a web interface.
