Review on Wi-Fi signal amplifier (repeater) TP-LINK RE220, white by Stanisaw Wojnowski ᠌
Expectations were not met, average quality.
In general, a very good repeater by type: put it in and forget it, but if you want finer settings, then look for another one. The red price of such a piece of iron is 1200, no more. If you still decide to take it, then I advise you to name the distributed points in the same way as the points of the main router and do not select the operating modes on the repeater, then you will get one (if you have only 2.4G) or two (if you have 2.4G and 5G on the main router) of the access point, then put it where the router no longer finishes it off and that's it, don'tcomunt on more. You can optionallycomnfigure DHCP, I have it turned off, because I want everyone to have the same IP on the localnetwork, regardless of who the client iscomnnected through. Speed test: Via repeater (distance ~2 meters) Through a router (distance ~ 2 meters)
- Quick and clear setup for the average user - plugged into the outlet, a couple of minutes of settings and the device is ready to go. You can also note the possibility of setting the operation time of the indicators and the device itself (for example, turn off the indicators or the device itself at night). Very powerful antennas, walls break through well. For more advanced ones, there is a DHCP server setting, as well as the ability to use OneMesh technology (it only works with TP-Link routers, so I can’t say anything about it, since I don’t have one). It can work in two modes: connect to the main router over the air and distribute wifi from yourself, and work from a patch cord (wire) and distribute wifi from it.
- By itself, the piece of iron is stupid, a small amount of built-in memory, so if you thought to install OpenWRT - forget it, most likely it will never be on this device. If you want to use the High Speed mode (manually setting wifi frequencies), then get ready for the repeater to simply die (the ssid breaks and you won’t be able to connect to it anymore), and it doesn’t matter which mode you choose. Also note that the device connects to your router via 2.4G (screen below) and you won’t be able to reconfigure it, as it will die (the network distributes 5G to clients). In general, it is not entirely clear how the choice of the wifi frequency works, if you configure it manually, that is, there are 2 schemes: from the router to the repeater by 2.4G, and to clients by 5G, and from the router to the repeater by 5G, and to clients by 2.4G, simultaneously there is no work on one of the frequencies.
