TP-Link RE300 AC1200 Mesh Wi-Fi extender, 1200 Mbps

The TP-Link RE300 AC1200 Dual Band Range Extender wirelessly connects to your existing Wi‑Fi router to extend coverage and eliminate dead zones. It supports up to 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band and up to 867 Mbps on the 5 GHz band, and is compatible with TP‑Link OneMesh to create a single‑name Mesh network with a OneMesh router. The device includes a smart signal indicator to help find the optimal placement and can be configured and managed via the TP‑Link Tether app on Android and iOS.

Advantages

Dual‑band operation maintains simultaneous connections for many devices while offering a dedicated high‑speed path for bandwidth‑demanding tasks. OneMesh compatibility enables seamless whole‑home coverage with a single Wi‑Fi name without replacing your existing router. Adaptive Path Selection and High Speed Mode help preserve maximum throughput by choosing the fastest route to the router or combining both bands for one high‑speed link. Quick WPS setup makes installation simple, and the smart signal indicator assists with optimal placement.

Alternatively, open the TP‑Link Tether app on your smartphone and follow the guided setup steps to configure and manage the device and its extended network.

Recommendations

Place the RE300 midway between your router and the area with weak Wi‑Fi; avoid locations with heavy interference (large metal objects, microwaves) and ensure it receives at least a moderate signal from the router for best performance. Use High Speed Mode for HD streaming or gaming and OneMesh for seamless roaming if you have a compatible OneMesh router.
