TP Link RE305 AC1200 Wifi Range Extender

[@TechReflex]

IMPORTANT: Do note that if this repeater doesn't detect 5GHz signal from your router, you have to set the 5GHz channel on the router you want to extend to either 36, 40, 44, or 48. On auto, repeater won't detect 5GHz signal. This is also the case with more expensive TP Link repeaters. Also note that towards the end of the video I implied that you can use two TP Link routers to create a mesh network, but that is actually not possible and Onemesh only works if you use a range extender with a Onemesh supporting router. Really stupid, but that's how it is.

[@bmwf07boy61]

No you have wrong actually you dont need to do that i have the same extender

[@TechReflex]

I said 'if the extender doesn't detect it', maybe in your auto settings it's already on one of these channels, I've faced this issue, and someone in comments also had this issue which got fixed when he did this.

[@bmwf07boy61]

@@TechReflex Ok

[@RAHULKUMAR-cv7uc]

Can you make a video on onemesh supported ac extender?

[@ytgessle]

How is the OneMesh performance? Will signal drops and reconnecting?

[@rondechaka1160]

other channel don't do this kind of extensive tests ... love your reviews .... thanks sir for helping future buyer

[@photasticimages9258]

Thank you. Very informative. You just confirmed my impression that this is more than adequate for my use case, even though it's a little old. Great vid!

[@Dev-cx5gy]

This guy has awesome commentary

[@cocopommel2306]

If I use 500Mbps and I place router just a few square feet away from the router (Appartment) Will I get atleast 300Mbps speed?

[@Shri_V]

When you show screenshots of specifications, it would be good to highlight the relevant parts being discussed so we dont spend time looking all over it for what you are talking about. An example at 00:15 .

[@gamingtech8765]

NICELY EXPLAINED BRO

[@ajinkyabodke_]

Instead of buying this repeater ,you can use your old router as repeater,it works fine!

[@TechReflex]

Not in the case of these tp link routers, they don't support repeater modes.

[@ajinkyabodke_]

@@TechReflex Then they must be thrown into dustbin,I have created a mesh network of 3 digisol routers and it works all right! But nothing beats wired connections even if u use a repeater.

[@SandyR]

Pretty honest review I would say. Yes, even I am not happy with its performance. 5G totally sucks, even for 2G it cant take load of multiple streaming though speed test shows decent speed. Kills the 2G to almost 1/4th speed comparing to the mother AP. Not worth for a decent sized apartment or multi floors... total waste.

[@huntmastergaming1056]

Please suggest a tp link router which supports both AP and range extender mode 😊

[@cavikasjadon4532]

Hello, Wifi at my place has inbuilt Cyberoam Captive Portal. (I share wifi with my office downstairs). Will this or any other wifi extender work with such captive portal?

[@AhmadK30]

I have an important question how is the ping on this for gaming as compared to the main router

[@blyat2477]

that's not how ping works bro

[@lovneetsingh6664]

Appreciate the thought. :)

[@TheTranspoter3]

Please make a video connecting two archer 6 in one mesh system please 🙏🏼. As you said in last that you can connect two c6 archer. I wanted to know the speed and performance of that scenerio.

[@TechReflex]

You can't do that, read my pinned comment. It only works with a router + extender.

[@TheTranspoter3]

Hey if you tell does re305 support 200mbps speed because my plan is 200 mbps so if you suggest me to buy or not i am having archer c6 modem v2

Hey I get like 15 Mbps speed from my main router connection from a 100 Mbps speed, how much will it able to increase the speed ??

[@snsdjerry]

i don care about speed i just want to know if the range can connect far or not

[@hrishikeshjoshy007]

What about re 205. Will that be enough to extend a 60 mbps connection. If you do a video explaining the real world speeds of the extenders and which should be used for what all speeds , that might be helpful

[@solo.sayan.43]

Yes Do it Fast .. i want to know wifi 6 router !! problems

Just got this one, i am wondering if this could work in the middle of a field i have. Putting it in a weather proof box would subdued the signal, what do you think?

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 RE305?

[@KanwarBrar1]

मैंने ये वाला सिंगल बैंड वाला(2.4ghz) एक्सटेंडर लिया है 1599 में, मेरे प्लान की स्पीड 60mbps है, यहां पे ये एक्सटेंडर लगाया है वहां पे तो मेरा फोन स्पीड 50mbps की ले रहा है लेकिन ये एक्सटेंडर वहीं पे और आगे 20-22mbps की स्पीड ही देता है, हां रेंज बड़ा देता है आगे।

Bro please review the wifi 6 variant of this OneMesh extenders , the re-505x or some they cost around 5-7k for the extender alone , my main wifi router is of 2.5k rupees bro , don't know if they have gold plated that extender on the inside 😎

[@TechReflex]

Will try

[@supermeseriasu]

@@TechReflex Worth extra money for re 505x or this is fine?

[@zoltann2151]

Be careful which version you buy, mine is V3 and did not get any firmware update since 2021. V4 is still supported. I wonder what will happen once V5 is out, I bet the support for V4 will be dropped too. :-(

[@Dude_Virus]

So this can connect to the wifi router at 5ghz but this extender can work as a 2.4 ghz access point? My old smart tv doesn't support 5ghz so I am thinking of getting this.

[@TechReflex]

Yeah.

Can i connect one range extender to another range extender ??? (Only one extender being connected to the main router) will it work?

[@TechReflex]

Yeah but you may experience slower speeds.

[@kksfox9890]

Why can try contact with LAN cable for 60feet ? It Possible ?

[@saviom8166]

OneMesh doesn't work between routers of TP Link, even in AP mode. And, OneMesh doesn't support ethernet backhaul in any case, so there will be slowness causes by WiFi.

[@TechReflex]

Yeah that's what I discovered later, so I mentioned it in a pinned Comment.

[@opendebate]

To get max speed you need to disable 2.4GHz radio so that the clients are forced to connect to 5GHz radio

[@yugamakharia6969]

Can someone tell me the difference between wifi extender and wifi repeater? Which one has better speed for the parent router with 100 mbps

Hi, Thanks for the video. Im looking for wifi extender/booster for backbuilding. Distance between Front building and backbuilding is 20 yards. Please advise which Wifi extender / booster suitable for this

[@Amithansda]

I have just ordered today because of current discounted price at 2199INR. My main router is located at 1st floor, hopefully this extender works for my devices at ground floor. If 5Ghz band is not available then it's gonna be a waste of money. It would have been better if you had provided a detailed review in terms of range and signal quality

Does it?
