Mesh Wi-Fi Extender - TP-Link AC1200 (RE315) Unboxing, Setup & Review

[@jamesjallalabad3783]

Great video! I know that the picture shows the antennas sticking straight up, but the best way is one halfway and one down, or one down and the other one about 25 degrees up from the one that is all the way down. Just makes the signal propagation better

[@donshilo2024]

This was better explain than the actual product website

[@IHateBadInternet]

true

[@Aure-g8x]

Really really helpful. I followed the instructions given in the package and got it all wrong. But all is crystal clear after your tutorial.

[@studiojessen6031]

If I am using this to connect to a security camera, which should I use...

[@DexPhizzle]

I have a question… I don’t know much about extenders.. if I connect my router to the extender through Ethernet, can I use the “Ethernet internet” to create a new WiFi through the extender, while my routers wireless WiFi is turned off? I’ll appreciate every answer 🙏🏻

[@giuseppebianco9266]

So incredibly helpful. Best tutorial on this device. Really helped me. Thank you so much! Got it working and I love it.

[@The_Oblivion_Light]

I just got mine and it works great. I have it linked to my T-MOBILE Ho.e Internet. I had a minor buffering issue with thenTV in the bedroom with the router in the front room, not even 20 ft away, but there is a wall. I plugged this extender in and it was easy setup on my computer and I haven't had a problem so far. I was skeptic about the WPS button because there is no button on my router. No worries, you can get everything set up on your co.puter or phone.

[@rareuss2064gmail]

Advice is needed. Perhaps I skipped a step. Although my TP link is active it appears that none of my devices such as Roku TV, Lockly electronic door lock or ring cameras are functioning off the Wi-Fi extender. All these components work and function off of my router, off of my Wi-Fi net work and password. And one know if I skipped a step? Or do I have to literally load all of my devices onto the TP Link mesh Wi-Fi extender AC 1200

[@The_Oblivion_Light]

@@rareuss2064gmail For me, it was nearly plug and play. Per the instructions, if there is no WPS button to auto link it to your modem, I got on my computer (You can download the app and do it there as well) and connected it to the extender. Then I input in the web browser the 192.***.**.* number provided in the manual. From there, you will have to find your main modem's wifi and connect it with its password and as for the TP Link, I kept it as the same password of the main modem. If you haven't, you have to configure the extender via computer or the mobile app first. If you used the WPS button, it should of already did it, but I always recommend to do it manually as described. Just don't believe it is defective, you most likely didn't do it correctly. If you are seeing your extender's wifi when you search for it but not getting internet through it, you should just manually configure it.

[@Plumpy.nugget18]

im sharing my neighbors wifi is this extender good ?

[@xxkenxxgames5392]

It’s been working for me for like half a year. Then after the hurricane came I decided to unplug it for a week or two. Now I’m trying to reconnect it to the Wi-Fi. I thought it would just reconnect as usual

[@jonkisby4871]

I got one 2 weeks ago. It worked very well but now overheats and cuts the connection off. Maybe its a one off, but I am not impressed with the durability

[@stevenziegler2523]

Thanks for this video. Once the extender is setup will my devices that were connecter to the old router just connect to the extender or do I need to connect them the the extender?

[@Smoompoo]

What about the speed of the tp link is it as fast as the router when used or slower

[@muhdymenthol]

It pumps out about same speed as your router, it’s basically an extender for your wifi so you can get strengthened connections in weak spots throughout your house. This is not whatsoever a wifi/internet booster, this will not make your wifi faster.

[@lincolnsalzman8827]

Does it have to make a new network? Or can it repeat the same network and password?

[@itsnewmie3182]

Have you found the perfect extender for your house? Which model is it? Thanks

[@kabisayago]

Can I use 2.4Gz only?

[@connecting2spirit]

thank you for your help! Have it all set up now. ** Question: when I choose the TP-Link_Extender wifi option, it is showing up as 'not Secure'. Meaning it's not protected against hackers... any way to secure this? ** thanks!

[@faisaluddin7629]

Is it good for 1000sqft home ? Its coverage its good ? Does it have a problem of disconnecting the wifi automatically without knowing ?

[@NewParentsInTraining]

It ALMOST covered our 2200 sqft home, it shouldn't have connection problem with half the size. I didn't experience any issue when I was in the coverage range.

[@MnRProdMariolaur]

I bought this on Amazon and it worked well for a week then I went to turn it on and it didn't work anymore, I returned it and got my money back. Has anyone else had this problem?

[@NotTrolling399]

You got your money back when you returned an item? That’s crazy

[@MnRProdMariolaur]

@@NotTrolling399 Yes Amazon give your money back but you only have 30 days to return it.

@@NotTrolling399I love America. Amazon accepts returns usually up to 30 after delivery.

Hi brother i hope you are ok in your help am here in South Africa i want to know about yagi 2,4ghz outdoor can i combine with AC1200 Mesh WiFi Extender - RE315?

[@DrRobertChan]

awesome video. thanks!

[@NyneIX9]

What is the ethernet port on the side for?

[@tejasvagarg285]

It's for connecting devices like other computers or gaming consoles and more network devices to add to your network.

[@NyneIX9]

@@tejasvagarg285 Thank you.

[@HanSoleLo_]

Does this work for xfinity

[@JyTKD]

Does it help the wifi signal go through brick walls easier?

[@SixthSenseLou]

Why do we need a app and not just start by Ethernet connection

[@jomarquinit1006]

Can I tweak the setting e.g block or restrict someone thru app remotely? Without me connecting to the wifi and just using mobile data.

[@himanshugupta5927]

will it give different signal name or work like a mesh with same original network?

[@sdh9843]

Explained well. Thank you!

[@dworld666]

Great info that there r multiple method to set it up . I was confused with videos someone was doing with mobile some with lappy and some with wps buttons .. thanks for clarification

[@RonSkee]

Can this be used as client mode? Wireless connection on Router to extender, then wired from extender to tv box. Thanks!

[@yg78t76t7]

might as well just wire a cat6 straight from the router to the tv box...

[@debbietrudeau5866]

I bought this for an outer building. Its within 1200 ft but in a dead zone. I'm nervous about the signal now 🤦‍♀️

[@jasjotd1423]

How is it?

[@debbietrudeau5866]

@@jasjotd1423 Didn't work at all. Even with one of the antenna through a hole and outside 😫 I ended up getting another router and hard wiring via ethernet. 👍

[@rinewashington6523]

@@debbietrudeau5866 what router was it ?

[@debbietrudeau5866]

@@rinewashington6523 Tenda AC2100 Smart wifi is the new router I ordered and connected via ethernet cable to an old model Tenda router which we've had for years. I'm getting full bar internet in my whole outer building now. It was a total dead zone before.

[@EGspider]

The real issue isn't the Square Area coverage, its the type of obstacles in the way. For example, a reinforced concrete wall or a refrigerator will stop the signal dead in its tracks even if the device is a few feet away from the router.

[@TheeUnknown_OG]

How do u connect the extender to the router without a word button on the extender? Because every time I try and connect the extender it won’t let me continue.

We have 100 Mbps internet but the modem is in the hall. My room is at the back so there is no internet access. We got Xiaomi's Wi-Fi booster too. I have internet in my room but I can only get 10-15 Mbps. There are many ping problems in games, especially in Valorant. This Wi-Fi booster is deploying 2.4GHz. I wonder if I would benefit from buying this 5GHz TP-Link RE315?

If you want much faster speed, try looking into getting an access point. Be aware that it might require running cable either along the wall or inside it.

It's shit. Do not buy. I'm returning mine. In the same room I get a speed of 20 from the extender and from the router directly I get 250.
