TP-Link AX3000 WiFi 6 Range Extender | PCMag Editor's Choice | Dual-Band Wireless Repeater w/Ethernet Port | Up to 2400 Sq. Ft., 64 Devices | Internet Signal Booster | APP Setup | EasyMesh (RE715X)

I bought the TP-Link AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Range Extender to fix a major issue: one of my rooms had no Ethernet connection and terrible Wi-Fi, and I almost called a handyman to install an Ethernet port in the room. A search online pointed me to the TP-Link AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Range Extender. This extender solved the problem perfectly! Setting up with the TP-Link Tether app was quick and painless, and within minutes, I had strong, reliable Wi-Fi and a usable Ethernet port in that room. I tested it with my switch and "voila", it works!The performance has been excellent—fast speeds, smooth streaming, and stable connections with no more dropouts. Even devices that struggled before now work flawlessly. The extender blends right into my Spectrum Wi-Fi 7 network and provides seamless coverage across my home.I also love that it supports Wi-Fi 6 features like 160 MHz channels, which really boost performance, and the Gigabit Ethernet port for my wired devices I needed in my office, is the best thing I have now.Overall, this was exactly what I needed—easy setup, strong signal, and the perfect solution for a room without Ethernet access. Highly recommended!

Easy set up, works well, really extends range. I put this in the garage of our two story house, which has a stucco exterior. The stucco means there's a layer of wire underneath that really messes with wifi getting outside. This new extender boosted the signal so that our Ring cameras had much stronger connections. It took minutes to set up, and works perfectly with our Xfinity wifi router.

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 recently purchased the TP-Link AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Range Extender (model RE715X), and I’m extremely satisfied with its performance. From the moment I unboxed it, the setup was incredibly easy — it took only a few minutes to get everything connected and running using the TP-Link Tether app.Pros:* **Blazing Fast Speeds:** The dual-band support (5 GHz up to 2402 Mbps and 2.4 GHz up to 574 Mbps) provides excellent speed and coverage throughout my home. Streaming in 4K, online gaming, and large file downloads are now completely seamless.* **Wi-Fi Dead-Zone Killer:** This extender truly eliminates dead zones. I used to have weak signals in the basement and upstairs bedrooms, but now the signal is strong and reliable in every corner of the house.* **Wi-Fi 6 Support:** The latest Wi-Fi 6 technology ensures a future-proof network with better efficiency, especially when multiple devices are connected.* **OneMesh Compatibility:** If you have a TP-Link router that supports OneMesh, this extender integrates beautifully into your existing network for seamless roaming.* **Great Design:** The sleek and modern look with external antennas also helps in better signal strength and blends in well with home decor.Cons:So far, none. It performs exactly as advertised and exceeds expectations.Final Thoughts:If you’re looking to extend your Wi-Fi coverage without sacrificing speed or reliability, the TP-Link RE715X is a top-tier choice. It works with any Wi-Fi router and brings excellent value with the benefits of Wi-Fi 6. Highly recommended!
