This super worked well for me, and I'm using it to extend the range, and it just was easy peasy to set up and use.

I am floored at how easy it was to set up this range extender to the tp-link AXE16000 router. All four bands popped on with virtually no effort. I pushed a button on the router and, within 2 minutes, pushed a button on the extender. That's all it took. It does take 30-60 seconds for it to fully link (so be a little patient and just wait for it), but that was nothing compared to the painful experiences I had with other extenders in other systems in the past. It is also nice that each of the four bands has it's own led indicator.

Using this as a range extender since I don't have an ethernet cable run to it. But as a wireless range extender, it works really well and stays connected. Have tried a few different brands and so far this is the best. (it better be for $200 bucks) I will eventually run an ethernet cable to it and use it as an access point.

Excelente potencia para un repetidor, buen alcance de la banda de 5 y mejor aun para la de 2.4. Lo tengo conectado por ethernet a travรฉs de switch y entrega casi completo el ancho de banda del router. Recomiendo ampliamente.

I would say 4.6 Stars. Out the box used WPS. Took 3 times but the third was a charm. Was it TP-links fault or mine that it took 3 minutes to start rather than one?Overall, the signal is stronger with the AX5400 on my phone. Getting -36 to -39 dBm on both bands with extender. -72dBm and -63 dBm on the bands without the extender at the same location (second story with router on the first). In case you ask for Wi-Fi, dBm is often used to measure the signal strength or received signal strength indicator (RSSI), which tells you how strong or weak the Wi-Fi signal is at a specific location.-30 dBm is a very strong signal (almost ideal for Wi-Fi).On the speed, with the extender getting 352 Mpbs down and 293 Mpbs up on the 5.0 band and 176 Mpbs down and 119 Mpbs on the 2.4 band. Without the extender I get 156 Mpbs on the down and 96 Mpbs on the up for the 5.0 band and 153 Mpbs on the down and 116 Mpbs on the up for the 2.4 band. Mbps (megabits per second) is a unit of measurement for data transfer speed. In the context of Wi-Fi, it refers to how fast data can be transferred over the wireless network, typically in terms of download and upload speeds. As you can see from my tests the extender almost doubles my speed for the 5.0 band BUT for the 2.4 band at this time is basically the same speed. While a stronger signal generally indicates a good connection, speed is influenced by many other factors beyond just signal strength. The extender is definitely providing a stronger signal which generally means more reliability in terms of stable connectivity, lower chances of disconnections, and the ability to maintain a better-quality data transfer.I am getting very similar speeds for Wi-Fi for my desktop. I am keeping the AX5400 for the increased signal strength and the faster 5.0 band, but only giving 4.6 stars due to no increase in the speed of the 2.4 band, although the cause is probably congestion and not the fault of the extender Still pretty good rating.

I purchased the RE815X / AX5400 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6 Range Extender, and Glenn Michael De Guzman gave me 5*TP-Link Technical Support is responsible for my setup of this product. Special thanks go to the others whopersonally, helped me with the setup were Steven Agarin, Recardo, Marianne Comedor, and James Joshua Balles.

I normally use my landlord's WiFi but lately, my signal has been crappy, especially for zoom meetings. Not wanting to interfere with his setup, I tried a couple of newer USB Wi-Fi adapters but the drivers were buggy or they didn't pick up the signal as well as my built in adapter. But this extender worked great for my backyard apt, picking up a strong signal across the yard and from the front side of the main house. Setup is not as easy as the instructions make it sound like it should be. The video wasn't much better. But after trying variations, I got it to work. I have it up high using an extension cord with a laptop cooler stand underneath (it seems to run a little warm and more importantly, my apt gets super hot in the summer). I'm tickled with how well it's working.

I have been emailing the manufacturer back and forth and giving them the information they requested. They spit back out an Ai generated response that is everything I already gave them. I will have 4 or 5 devices connected and it will get soo hot that it shuts off or bricks entirely. It cannot handle 2 phones, a laptop and a streaming device at all. The manufacturer is NO HELP, thank my past self for getting the Asurion warranty because this device is crap! I have to unplug it and plug it back in every day for it to work another 12 to 16 hours to brick up again. Do NOT buy TP link, because nobody on the other end is helping you, it's the same wash rinse and repeat answers from chat gpt Ai. And the problem still persists. Don't even get me started raving about the crappy app they make you use your phone for setup. No browser capabilities, only your phone. And even then, the app will brick on you too. Negative stars if I could. 1 month Update: Sent them everything they wanted in triplicate. Still the same, they don't help but say they will do something once you send them ( insert random information) which I already sent them if they bothered to open it. It's a garbage company. Full stop.

Tengo un router GX90 AX6600 en un piso de arriba, dando todo lo contratado con mi proveedor de internet, pero en el piso de abajo tenรญa el AX1500 dando velocidades de 100 - 120mb con OneMesh. Ahora con este equipo,da velocidad de 370 a 410mb ya que tambien es WPA3. Muy recomendable y satisfecho con la compra.
