RE813XE AXE5400 Wi-Fi 6E Tri-Band Range Extender w/Ethernet Port

I have a TP-Link AXE5400 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router (Archer AXE75) which reaches all corners of my home but the signal strength at the farthest corners are weak to moderate. I wanted to boost the signal strength in and around my garage where I have a couple of remote security cameras setup. To do this, I installed the TP-Link RE813XE AXE5400 Wi-Fi 6E Range Extender in my garage. The setup and connection process was very easy to accomplish. Just plug in the extender and press the WPS button on first the router, then the extender. It may take a few minutes so be patient and wait for the connection to be made. Once connected, you can move the extender to the area where it is required and plug it in. It will reconnect to the router and if the name of the extender is the same as the router, your devices will connect to the stronger signal automatically. It could not be any simpler. The signal strength at my cameras went from moderate to excellent and the cameras became more responsive to commands issued by the camera app. I am very pleased with the RE813XE and think it well worth the cost.

Whoever says that range extenders suck because they only amplify bad signals and don't increase your speed doesn't know what they are talking about. I live in a house with a bedroom on the very opposite side of the house from the AT&T fiber gateway, behind several walls, and my signal was abysmal. I pay for 500 up/down, and I was lucky to get 46Mbps when downloading Steam games.I first bought a TP-Link RE515X and it was total garbage. I don't know if I had a faulty one or if it was because it was only dual-band instead of tri-band, but it would constantly disconnect while playing online games, which made it a total deal-breaker. I spent a month troubleshooting with TP-Link support, and they were unable to resolve the issue. I ended up returning it and bought the RE813XE instead. I've had it for a few days now, and it is FANTASTIC. I have it set up to connect to my gateway's 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands, and I connect to the extender via the 6ghz band.I went from 46Mbps to almost 600Mbps. It is the same speed now as if I were in the same room as the gateway, with 100% uptime. I am blown away by how well this thing works, much better than powerline Ethernet. If you're having the same issue I did with being too far away from the router/gateway and no option to get closer to it, I would highly recommend this model. You won't be disappointed.

I've long been skeptical of Wi-Fi range extenders, but this unit made me a believer. I purchased it along with a TP-Link BE9300 (Archer BE550) router, primarily so that I could take full advantage of OneMesh/EasyMesh connectivity. Because I don't yet own any devices that support Wi-Fi 7, I don't need to extend the full Wi-Fi 7 capability of the router. However, the Wi-Fi 6E capability of the range extender means that the router and the range extender can use the 6-GHz band as a dedicated backhaul, leaving the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands free to connect to my devices.Even though I'm a computer-industry veteran, I generally hate having to configure networks. Installing this pair of devices, though, was remarkably easy. After ensuring that the new router was performing properly, I followed the instructions to configure the range extender. Everything worked correctly on the first try. I now have solid coverage from one ground-floor corner of my 2000-square-foot house (the router) to the opposite second-floor corner (my work computers). Because I reused the previous SSID (and let the TP-Link devices unify the three bands), I didn't need to reconfigure any other devices—they simply resumed working as before but with far better bandwidth.

I really like the Wi-Fi to Ethernet capability. Using it as a wired connection is far more stable than Wi-Fi, and it works very well for gaming and other situations where a reliable connection matters. In that role, it performs great and has been very stable.The main downside is the size. It’s bulky, cannot be rotated, and ends up taking up the entire outlet space, which can be inconvenient, especially on power strips or crowded outlets.I don’t use the Wi-Fi extender feature very much—the Ethernet function is far more useful to me, and that’s where this device really shines.Overall, it’s a solid and stable product for turning Wi-Fi into a reliable Ethernet connection. The size and outlet design keep it from being perfect, but performance-wise it does what it’s supposed to do.

When my mesh main unit by orbi failed, this, what I travel with, worked great on getting me back up on the internet until I replace the orbi unit.. Easy to set up and great as an extender / booster

Would not work with my Tp- Link router, AXE75, would not work with my security cameras either, and get real hot to the touch. Could not get it configured, I would not recommend.

Somewhat intimidating to set-up. The WPS approach did not work - but then it hardly ever does. The TP Link tether took some time, but it worked well and device is fully installed. Noted improvement in connectivity in former "dead zones" of house. No drop offs experienced since installation. Works well across 2, 5, and 6 bands. A very nice experience so far with this extender.

When i first connected it, it said the signal was too weak to connect and to move the extender closer to the spectrum router which was in the other room just 100 ft away. I did so and was able to complete the setup. After the setup was completed i moved the extender into the back house where I intended to use it (400ft away) It works good and now I can connect my computer to the internet. The extender is big and bulky, takes up an entire single gang outlet and must be plugged in vertically or it will slip out of the outlet. No ground hole necessary. The four big antennas swivel and should be laid flat against the wall so they don’t get kicked and broken. Security can be setup via the local website easily. All in all it does a good job extending the signal and the price is fair compared to other name brands
