Step 2: Once connected, place RE550 at the best location—without reconfiguration. Why is my internet speed much slower when connected through the range extender? Range extenders wirelessly repeat your router’s signal and should be placed about halfway from it. They operate in half-duplex mode, meaning slower speeds since they can't send and receive data at the same time, unlike wired connections. Why is my internet speed much slower when connected through the range extender? Range extenders wirelessly repeat your router’s signal and should be placed about halfway from it. They operate in half-duplex mode, meaning slower speeds since they can't send and receive data at the same time, unlike wired connections. My extender connection keeps dropping or is unstable. What can I do? Unstable connections may occur due to distance, thick walls, interference (e.g. microwaves, metal, cordless phones), or outdated firmware. Move the extender closer, avoid interference, and update firmware via Tether app or web interface. My extender connection keeps dropping or is unstable. What can I do?

Move the extender closer, avoid interference, and update firmware via Tether app or web interface. What is AP mode and how is it different from extender mode? AP mode connects to your router via Ethernet and creates a Wi-Fi signal—ideal for faster, stable performance if you have a cable available. Extender mode wirelessly repeats your router’s signal but may reduce speed due to half-duplex operation. What is AP mode and how is it different from extender mode?

Extender mode wirelessly repeats your router’s signal but may reduce speed due to half-duplex operation. Can I install multiple extenders in a large home? You can connect multiple extenders, but we recommend a max of two and direct connections to the router (no daisy-chaining). Use different Wi-Fi channels to reduce interference. For better coverage, consider a Deco Mesh system with seamless roaming. Can I install multiple extenders in a large home?

Some Vodafone/SKY routers send special WPS signals, making the extender create a long random password. Reset the extender, avoid WPS, and set up manually via Tether or web using the correct Wi-Fi password. My extender doesn’t work well with Vodafone or SKY routers. Why?

Review: Easy to set up and very stable - I have used a fair few signal repeaters over the years and also have used old routers as repeaters. Recently I was lucky enough to get fibre to the premises broadband from a small supplier. This in theory gives be 300MBS upload and download. However it soon became apparent that the router supplied had pretty poor wi-fi capabilities and the signal was rather weak in the lounge. I decided to try one of these range extenders, It suits my purpose perfectly. Very easy to set up and I cant see anyone having a problem. WPS pairing worked but I then changed the SSID to match the rest of the network which worked well as roaming devices tend to pair to the strongest signal. The advice with this extender was to place it halfway between the router and the problem area. This is logical enough but I was able to place the device behind the TV in the lounge (blue light on the device shows this placement is fine) which meant I could use the ethernet socket for my PVR. This all works perfectly. Unlike previous extenders I have used this one is very stable and I have not had to reboot the device yet. Its important to realise that because of the way repeaters work you will not get the same speed as you would next to the router. There are endless clear explanations for this on the internet but in simple terms the repeater has to collect the signal and then pass it on so you might in theory half the bandwidth. So if your actual internet speed from the provider is slow this may not be the solution you are hoping for. My upload/download (just checked) is about 140 MB from the 300. What you will get though if the device is placed correctly is a very strong signal strength, exactly what wifi dongles such as the firestick require. Based on my experience of ease of setup, usefulness and importantly stability its five stars all the way from me. Review: Quick install, effective for WIFI->LAN - Very nice item for providing LAN connection in a different location to the BT Hub. Installation was very easy with the app, and simply providing the Wifi credentials was enough to make this work. In fact it was so easy, I thought I must have overlooked disconnecting the long ethernet lead I had jury rigged in place. It just simply worked out the box. It's probably not much of a struggle for it being one floor above the WIFI source, then I ran a ethernet to my existing gigabit switch. I've been using it all day, the speeds I am getting don't seem to be any lower than the direct LAN connection without it. There are probably cheaper solutions, but this just works so I'm happy. ## Features - Maximum Coverage up to 1,115 m² (12,000 sq. ft.) – Eliminate Wi-Fi dead zones with ultra-wide range coverage ideal for large homes, offices, and multi-floor environments - AC1900 Dual Band Wi-Fi – Delivers simultaneous 600 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 1300 Mbps on 5 GHz for fast, stable connections across more devices - Smart Mesh & Compatibility – EasyMesh-compatible for seamless whole-home coverage when paired with a supported router.

There are probably cheaper solutions, but this just works so I'm happy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to setup but be aware of issues. *by S***H on 28 January 2022* One of the things you will probably use this for maybe Zwift? Or, something else you use out of range and maybe in a garage or shed down the garden. I did have an old version of a TP-Link device which I had been struggling with for a while. It wasnt supported in the App, so made things difficult assessing the right place to put it etc. So I use Zwift in my garage at the bottom of the garden which is about 60ft away. Its good that the wifi has EXT at the end so you know you are connected. I have to say I was probably disappointed with the extended range overall this gave me given its size and antennas. Also good in the app you can turn off either the 2.4 or 5 GHz broadcast. I found 2.4Ghz signal interfered with the signals from the Tacx cycle trainer to my iPad... But only using the 5GHz signal you have to have good line of sight, walls especially block 5GHz signals, so its best position seems to be in the upstairs bedroom window, to just get 2 bars of wifi in the garage. Its probably not massively better than my old unit, but that was less customisable. Also I didnt know if I was connected to it. Same wifi name. I tried to get what I thought was the best model, but TP-Link's products, are, so many and difficult to choose which one is right for you. I seem to have now what is a workable system but not as simple as I thought and who wants a wifi repeater on their window sill? Any socket I try has to be away from appliances, not easy in the rear facing kitchen, and preferably not through a wall....! The other main idea for this in a larger house. This maybe an easier thing to setup, but there will still be issues with walls etc. But its trial and error, the app is good, you have to delve deeper to find the wifi picture testing graphic, which is probably quite good, it also tells you have many devices are connected to it. ## Frequently Bought Together - TP-Link RE550 AC1900 Gigabit Mesh WiFi Range Extender-Wi-Fi Booster-WiFi Repeater, 3 External Antennas, Intelligent Signal Light,WiFi Extender Booster, Power Schedule,LED Control,Easy Setup, UK Plug - UGREEN Ethernet Cable 5M, Cat 8 Internet Cable Flat High-Speed 40Gbps 2000Mhz Network Cable, Gigabit Braided RJ45 LAN Cable Patch Cord Compatible for PC/Laptop, PS5, Xbox, Modem, Router, Switch, TV - TP-Link TL-SG105S, 5 Port Gigabit Ethernet Network Switch, Ethernet Splitter, Hub, Desktop and Wall-Mounting, Sturdy Metal, Fanless, Plug and Play, Energy-Saving --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/291869621-tp-link-re550-ac1900-wifi-extender-booster-wifi-booster-gigabit](https://www.desertcart.us/products/291869621-tp-link-re550-ac1900-wifi-extender-booster-wifi-booster-gigabit) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-26*
