A wonderful product, its nice to use.

It performs its function. To achieve an improvement in the quality of the signal on the balcony, you will obviously have to take another one. Some pros: Ease of setup, OneMash, improved signal speed and quality throughout a 60m apartment, simultaneous 2.4 and 5G operation. Has some cons: It is not possible to improve the signal on the balcony, a little expensive.

The product is average, Im not sure its worth the money.

I bought it as a replacement for a non-name device with aliexpress worth 800. The speed of which did not suit. In fact, I got everything the same for only 2800.

Pros
  • Ease of setup. Looks pretty. You can turn off the LEDs at night by timer.
Cons
  • The main drawback that crosses out everything. Very low data rate. Connected to the main router by wire. In fact, it gives out a maximum of 10 mb / s with drawdowns up to 1 mb / s from a local server at a frequency of 5 GHz, while it heats up like an iron. For comparison, a regular router from MGTS (SERCOMM RV6699) gives out easily 25 Mb / s. Both devices have a claimed data transfer rate of up to 866 Mbps at a frequency of 5 GHz.

One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

A kopeck piece in a nine-story panel building, along with a router, is covered up and down. With one router, there were spots of non-coverage due to concrete walls. Now there are no such corners at all. Two MI stick TVs work at the same time, one the router, the second repeater. Everything is wonderful, despite the m of devices hung on the network. A scenario has been set up to turn off the repeater when no one is at home - after the owners leave for work, it goes into hibernation, and wakes…

Pros
  • Generally super! Connection for one or two. Functional mobile application. Informative signal panel and futuristic design. An excellent signal for a panel kopeck piece.
Cons
  • Didn't notice any flaws

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

Since 5 GHz Wi-Fi does not overcome walls and obstacles so well, I was forced to buy such a device to strengthen wi-fi in the kitchen. I really liked that I set it up almost instantly, I just pressed the wps button on the router and amplifier, and at 5 GHz everything worked by itself (the indicators lit up). Now I can take my laptop to the kitchen, I'm very happy with it

Pros
  • The presence of 2.4 and 5 GHz (dual band Wi-Fi), configured out of the box in less than 1 minute, good bandwidth, price, size.
Cons
  • I haven't discovered yet. well, unless you plug anything else into the outlet.

I like the product, the quality did not disappoint.

The first connection - I got it only through the cable, other methods did not work. There is work in the bridge mode in the description, in fact it is also there, but there is no separate setting for the mode and in this mode it distributes a signal both via cable and via wifi (I planned to distribute it exclusively via cable). Therefore, the feeling is that he performs his task, but not in the way he planned before the purchase.

Pros
  • inexpensive, powerful, 2 ranges
Cons
  • setting is ambiguous

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

Rescued the device. It was necessary to have a stable copper connection, because. around everything is on wifi, and station did not see a stable signal away from the router, and this miracle came in handy. I plugged it into the outlet, set the gain to the 5 GHz network, turned off the 2.5 network as there was no need to amplify it, connected the station to the Ethernet with a patch cord and I'm not happy. Stable 100MB in both directions. I advise.

Pros
  • Ethernet port, support 2.4 and 5
Cons
  • Have not found

A nice option for the money, one of the best deals.

Stable operation of the 2G channel. 5G is used well, very rarely, and breaks with it often occur, it’s not about the quality of performance, it’s most likely because of the wavelength, they are many times shorter, so more repeaters are needed. Different pros: I chose price-quality, to eliminate bad coverage areas in three-room apartment 76 sq. m. (three years later, our asus router suddenly began to act up, apparently it’s no longer a secret for anyone that this is the time to decide whether to

I live in a panel high-rise building, an optical modem (with a rate of up to 500 Mbps) is connected to the TP-Link Archer AX1500 router via LAN. Recently the idea came up, why would I increase the coverage area of ​​the 5GHz network?! I bought it in the "TP-LINK RE305 AC1200" store for 3000. I connected it to a 220V outlet in the kitchen and picked up the network over the air, renamed the new network. Now when I drive into the yard or I am in the yard, the phone sees the "Wi-Fi 6" network. Even

Pros
  • Price, quality, remote control via the Tether app on iOS.
Cons
  • No

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

The device immediately attracts attention and makes you want to buy it. but on closer inspection there are doubtful points: - the antennas are rather weak, where the Wi-Fi device through 2 walls so-so catches the signal of the router, and this repeater also catches so-so. Those. no better. And when placing it somewhere in the middle, subscriber devices do not really increase the signal quality and communication speed :) - BY. You are greeted by a friendly setup wizard, in one and a half clicks,

Pros
  • - Price - Appearance of packaging and product - Build quality - Friendly software - For someone, external antennas with a variable angle of inclination
Cons
  • - So-so instruction in all its versions (one is not translated, not everyone knows English well, the second is short and generally about nothing, etc.) - Antennas and mid-range coverage - Crooked software

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

I use it as an access point. Works great on both ranges. For the average user, this is a great choice. If you want to connect wirelessly 4K TV, game consoles, or (especially) use a network drive, then I advise you to take a closer look at the older RE350 model. It will also work better as an access point thanks to the gigabit port, and the antennas are more powerful, which means you can put them at a greater distance from the Wi-Fi source in repeater mode. My TV and consoles are connected by…

Pros
  • Conciseness of the web interface Price!
Cons
  • Android application has a reduced functionality Marketers decided not to install a gigabit port in this model Suspiciously hot)

I'm completely satisfied with the product, it works.

I took it for such a scheme. I wanted to speed up my old wifi router. It would be possible to buy a new one, for 7-10 thousand. But get only the old functions + 5 GHz. And maybe a more stable connection. This is if Mikrotik. But there is no money yet, I decided to do so. I bought this TP-LINK RE305, wired it to the base router. Turned off wifi at the base. And RE305 placed in the middle of the apartment. The apartment is small, the power was enough. It suited me.

Pros
  • Wi-Fi signal amplifier (repeater) TP-LINK RE305 is exactly what I needed. All the declared characteristics and nothing more. Small, fits directly into the outlet, pretty stylish.
Cons
  • TP-LINK RE305 is one big downside. Since it is positioned as a repeater. Even its name is RE(piter). But it is precisely in this capacity that it cannot be used. I could not set up to receive wifi 2.4 with the subsequent distribution of wifi 5GHz and did not. I didn't take it for this. Connected by wire to the router. And from it connected the distribution of wifi. The signal strength is very weak, even at full power. Gets hot. Let's see how long it lasts.

Disgusting, dissatisfied with the purchase.

Complete rubbish. I used it as a repeater - a stationary computer does not have a WiFi module, only Ethernet - connected to this piece of misunderstanding via cable. Loses connection with wifi, which is 5, which is 2.4 GHz constantly. You have to restart almost every 3-4 days so that it "catch" the router again. At the same time, all phones hanging on the router directly work perfectly and without complaints. As soon as the Internet disappears, this "craft" immediately becomes inadequate and…

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • Unstable operation, slow, heats up too much

In the new building, the walls are simply saturated with reinforcement, so in the corner back room, wi-fi only reached the beginning of the room, and then, as luck would have it, at low speed, and there is just a bed where you want to be online. I suffered for a long time, but in the end I decided to buy an amplifier. At first I wanted to buy the most expensive of the tp-link line, but then I approached my problem sensibly, moderated my ardor and ordered this model. There is another model…

Pros
  • Adequate price, dual-band, compact, easy to set up, no frills.
Cons
  • I would like a more powerful signal, but there are more expensive models for this :)

in general, I was puzzled by the signal amplifier. was before that WA850RE changed the name of the network . lay for a long time in a chest of drawers. now ated the firmware. everything got better. decided to further expand the network. given the fact that 5G has become available on the main router. bought this one. tuned in immediately without dancing. the signal does not cut. by characteristics. in the picture for 5G, what low characteristics are without it. through a reinforced wall.

Pros
  • stable. (for now) price, two ranges at the same time. does not change the name of the amplified network. clear interface
Cons
  • haven't found it yet. but i will definitely write

Works great with ASUS RT-AC66U. The 4-room apartment lacks the original coverage, so the bedroom and office had to be strengthened. I also connected a cable to the Ethernet port and added the xbox to the network. I've been using it for a few weeks, it's great. Didn't bother with the setup too much. According to the instructions, you can do everything or through WPS everything will set itself up. An excellent device, if you need to expand the 5 GHz network, then I recommend it!

Pros
  • AC1900, high bandwidth at 5 GHz, low price for this speed
Cons
  • the ethernet port is not gigabit, but that's a nitpick

Valuable purchase, nothing but pluses!

Has pros: There are no complaints about the technical characteristics. The setup is elementary. With its cons: It is bad that it is located directly in the outlet - it is easy to hook.

A wonderful product, it's nice to use.

There was a problem - the repeater, after connecting to the 5GHz network, after a while showed "without an Internet connection." The hardware version of my repeater is "1". As a result, the firmware ate helped (I put off the firmware of 2022, I had it from 17 years old). And one more thing - if you go to the router through the ip address and configure it through the browser, you will get more features (for example, a schedule for automatically turning on and off). At first, I used the Tether…

Pros
  • Small. Powerful.
Cons
  • What a good repeater. But pricey. And now (end of 2022) I would rather buy 1 more Keenetic router for my Keenetic Giga 3 and build a seamless network.
