Review on Wi-Fi signal amplifier (repeater) TP-LINK RE650, white by Daniel Young Joong H ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's not a bad product, but I expect more.

I had the task of improving reception in remote parts of an apartment with thick walls. The first impression was excellent: I plugged it into the network, entered a new network, indicated the data of the main point and that's it. Everything worked fine for a while, but then more and more often I began to notice that the extended network was disappearing (I had to get rid of the main network) and it became very noisy at my frequencies (44-48 channels), some devices began to work unstable, for example, HomePod paired with Apple TV in streaming mode (watching a movie) began to "stutter" often. I have been diagnosing and testing a lot for a long time, but the logging at the box is very poor and does not help much. In the end, he gave up and was forced to give up.

Pros
  • A beautiful white "box", stuck it in and it works. Setting up via the official app is a breeze.
Cons
  • The device greatly amplifies the overall noise on the air. So, for example, my HomePod speaker began to "stutter" even when connected to an old wifi point. All kinds of range diagnostic tools reflect this well. Unfortunately, very often the repeater lost its main point at 5ghz, while working perfectly at 2.4ghz.
