Wi-Fi signal amplifier (repeater) TP-LINK RE605X, white Review

Last year, I changed the Archer C1200 router to AX73 aka 5400, and the repeater remained the same TL-WA855RE. It only supported a 2.4GHz network and on devices I constantly had to switch wifi between the router and the repeater, choosing either speed or signal strength. I decided to put an end to this, so that there was a stable and fast 5GHz wifi throughout the apartment. Looking ahead, I’ll say right away that this repeater coped with the task! In far rooms, where with the old repeater it was

We can say an expensive toy, for those who like to brag about the price. What pleases, it works stably, the Internet does not fall off. Who has Internet over 100Mbit, I do not recommend taking it, do not squeeze the maximum for the current moment. The product is new - perhaps in half a year tplink will screw something into the settings, if the hardware allows.

Good Wi-Fi coverage extender. Immediately ated the firmware out of the box and works flawlessly. I use it in tandem with the Archer MR600 router with One MESH technology.

I think Vanmeh is marketing, I ume that this technology only syncs the settings, pword and name of the Wi-Fi network. At the software level, everything just changes at the same time. But in fact, it simply duplicates the network with the same name in different channels. Because there are devices that see 2 networks with the same name according to reviews from the Internet :) Perhaps this is a fake :) Therefore, you can not bathe and stick it into the LAN (whose lan is stretched to another zone)

In general, if youcomnsider that this is a repeater with top characteristics, then everything falls into place. It has everything you need: mesh (Icomnsider it critical for repeaters), by the way, it works well with SmartConnect, stable speeds on both channels, installation in a socket, Wifi6 support. Of the minuses: that very installation in the outlet was probably made for a different format, because it does not hold very securely. Also, as in the main AX90 router with which this device is…

Its pros: The design really expands the coverage area. A very handy thing in conjunction with the TP-LINK router in my case with the ARCHER C-80. Seamless one mesh network. Some cons: Well, maybe the size is a bit too big, and of course the price tag

RE605X, like all OneMesh technology from TP-Link, does not officially support a wired connection method. But "unofficially" the wired Backhaul has been running for months with no problems. So, in simple configurations, this trick is quite possible to try, but we must remember that with an increase in the number of extenders or, for example, some kind of broadcast traffic appears, a network storm can still bring down the entire network.

Of course, the coverage has become better in the apartment, but I expected more speed. If I had known about the speed in advance, I would have bought another repeater. In the photo, the speed when connecting to a router and a repeater. I carried out the tests several times, created the same conditions, even measured exactly at the place where the repeater stands - all the same, the speed on the router is 2-3 times higher.
