Product Description
Boost Whole Home Wi-Fi with Your Existing Router A single router has limited Wi-Fi coverage and always causes Wi-Fi dead zones. RE550 wirelessly connects to your existing router and expands its Wi-Fi signal into areas it can’t reach on its own. Enjoy your stable network experience wherever you are at home. Faster Dual Band Wi-Fi up to 1900 Mbps RE550 delivers dual band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) to transmit Wi-Fi signals, doubling the performance of each band. It enables you to keep more devices connected at the same time with its 600 Mbps 2.4 GHz and 1300 Mbps 5 GHz dual bands. Use the 2.4 GHz band to send email and browse the web and the 5 GHz band for gaming and HD streaming. Wi-Fi keeps Strongest for Unlimited Moving With TP-Link OneMesh Technology, it’s easy to form a wifi network with a single Wi-Fi name for seamless whole home coverage. Just connect RE550 to a OneMesh router. Always enjoy the strongest Wi-Fi when you’re walking around with no need to search around for a stable connection. Adaptive Path Selection: Keeps Itself Working at Top Speed Adaptive Path Selection keeps your network running at optimal speeds by automatically choosing the fastest connection path to the router. Always keep your devices fast and stable—ideal for network environments crowded with many devices and applications. High Speed Mode: Maximized Speed with Dedicated Backhaul Uses one dedicated Wi-Fi band as backhaul and another dedicated Wi-Fi band as an access point to maximize the bandwidth on the extended Wi-Fi. Built-In Access Point Mode RE550 is more than a wireless range extender. Simply plug an Ethernet cable into its Ethernet port and easily turn your wired internet connection into a 3×3 MIMO dual band wireless access point. Control at Your Fingertips Set up and manage your Wi-Fi through the TP-Link Tether app from your smartphone (Android, iOS), including TP-Link routers and range extenders.

Important: If you want one Network name without having to switch between networks manually you must pair these with the TP Link Mesh Router. We just used them with our existing router.
Ease of setup: Doable but if my mom or dad bought this, they would be calling me for help. During setup with the app, there were some errors, switching from the original WiFi to the devices’ WiFi and back. Got thru it but the menu options in the app are a bit technical. If you have a fear of tech this is not the choice for you.
OK, I tried two other models by TP-Link, they were both cheaper and smaller. The RE330 and the RE220. I was trying to get the most bang for my buck. Even though these two smaller extenders were for 1400-1500 square foot homes, and that's what mine is, they didn't extend the signal enough for my Blink cameras on the detached garage, and I also wanted coverage to the boat dock away from the house. So I returned those and got this one instead, which is rated for up to 2800 square feet. "Up to" are the key words here that I didn't pay attention to before I ordered the others.
I really didn't want to spend this much but now I'm glad I did. I live in a rural area and have fiber optic through the local REMC. I'm forced to rent their router/modem and they tried to also rent me an extender, they said I had to use THEIR brand that matched my router. They lied to me, the TP-Link works just fine.
Easy to set up via the Tether app. I highly recommend it. These are the easiest extenders I've ever set up and I've probably had 10 over the years. Done in under 5 minutes.
I have my Blink cameras and sync module on the _EXT 2.4 band. I changed the name of that to _EXT2Blink so I solely put my cameras on that. I'm getting the max coverage to all the Blinks now.
If you don't already have a TP-Link router, this won't be like a mesh router system. You will have _EXT for both bands 2.4 and 5. So any device you want on the _EXT will have to be added onto the network.
Very happy with this one. It has a huge blue circle showing that you're properly connected (you can turn it off in the Tether app if it's too bright). No dropped signals and this one has vents so it doesn't get too hot.
One of the main reasons I decided on this model was a reviewer who stated the AC2600 Extender resolved the problem they were having with their Ring.com Floodlight Cam installed on their garage which would freeze or stop working due to the long distance between their home WiFi network and the Cam. This described the EXACT PROBLEM I was having. The clincher was my husband's constant complaints that his phone wouldn't connect to the Cam --- I had to find a solution!
Users have 2 options for installing the AC2600: the easier and recommended option is to use the WPS button, or the other to configure installation through the web browser if host router doesn't have a WPS button. I am adding this to my review because it took several attempts to connect the AC2600 to my dual band router using the WPS button; honestly I did not want to go through the configuration process, so I persisted. The AC2600 connected to the 5GHz band on the first attempt, but connecting to the 2.4GHz band took maybe 4 attempts; still worth 5-star rating in my opinion because I didn't have to go through the web configuration process. (Note: the recommended option is "Option Two" on the Quick Installation Guide.)
After successful installation, I relocated the AC2600 to my trouble spot. The Ring.com app has a feature to check your WiFi download and upload speeds. I compared the speeds BEFORE and AFTER installing the AC2600 Extender.
BEFORE: Download = 0.94 Mbps, Upload = 0.22 Mbps
AFTER: Download = 26.68 Mbps, Upload = 16.48 Mbps
This alone merits a 5-star rating!
However, the connection from the AC2600 to my Ring devices failed the next evening.
The following is relative context for Ring users interested in this AC2600 Extender. We have 3 Ring.com devices: 1) Video Doorbell 2) Floodlight Cam, both these devices connect to my WiFi through 3) Chime Pro WiFi extender (which proved to be a weak extender for my home; luckily Ring sent it to me free of charge). Before installing the AC2600 to my WiFi network, I took the Chime Pro offline by unplugging it from the outlet. After the AC2600 was successfully installed, I then reconnected the Chime Pro to my WiFi network: all 3 Ring devices came back online, and worked exceptionally well. But as mentioned earlier the connection failed the next evening. I was able to reconnect the Chime Pro to the AC2600, but the next morning discovered it was offline once again.
This time I decided to reinstall the AC2600 through the web browser configuration process so I could give the extended network an identifiable name to ensure I reconnected the Chime Pro to the AC2600. I was happy to discover that the configuration process was not bad, the set up wizard was user-friendly, I just made sure to read each step carefully since I have a dual band router. When I got to the step of naming the extended bands I just added "_Extended" to each SSID. The password is the same as host router.
I connected the Chime Pro this time to the "Name2.4_Extended": all 3 Ring devices came online and worked exceptionally well. However, that evening the Chime Pro was offline once again. Though extremely frustrated, I concluded that the problem was not with the AC2600 because the speed test were excellent while the devices were online. I also have other WiFi enabled devices throughout my home and all those were working fine or better since I installed the AC2600.
After speaking with Ring.com technical support, they suggested I take the Chime Pro out of the equation and connect directly to the AC2600 Extender. I was reluctant to do this because a) the Chime Pro provides it's own alerts for detected motions, and b) to set up the video doorbell to the extended network meant taking it out of the mount it was screwed and clipped to. So I began with the Floodlight Cam which was easier. After putting it on set-up mode, I connected the Floodlight to the "... 2.4_Extended." Once online, the Floodlight worked exceptionally well.
While in the Ring app I noticed that the Video Doorbell was also online; I had forgotten to unplug the Chime Pro which was also back online and connected to the 2.4 extended band. I checked that the doorbell's functionality was excellent so I left well enough alone. It has been 4 days and I've had zero issues with my 3 Ring devices and all other devices that use WiFi in our home. I'm even getting Chime Pro motion alerts from the Floodlight Cam --- not sure why but I'm not complaining. Speaking of complaints, haven't told dear hubby what I paid for the AC2600, LOL ;-) But like I said, it's worth every cent!

Súper fácil de configurar y en pocos minutos tienes tu extensor de señal funcionando, aún con muros de por medio. Muy recomendable; feliz y más que satisfecha con la compra.

So last week I finally decided to give another chance to look for a better Extender, I found this, but at first I didn't have much high hope, I would just try it and then refund it if the performance is not what I expected. But to my surprise, the signal is so much stronger providing VERY stable and solid connections ! Now I feel 100% with this extender providing solid connection, I can see my devices loading faster, and not drops at all, everything just work so much better now. Very happy. Now in my case, I'm not so much concerned about "dead zones" is more like I need a solid connection to where I need to use it and this extender performed just that, a solid connection. My internet connect is pretty solid so if the extender can extend it, then everything will be fine, again, this extender did a solid job in extending connection. I'm sure this extender can always broadcast a very long range of connection to help reduce dead zones/spots.
Oh, in terms of installation/setup, I do recommend to use the "Tether" app to setup. It's easier for most users. But if you have experience with extenders, you can always connect to the extender network and use a browser (i.e. your phone, iPad, or even a computer) to configure and setup the extender. For me, I used the Tether app to setup the Extender, and I used the Tether app to check status of the extender but the browser offers you more options in settings (i.e. changing wifi passwords - you cannot do that with the Tether app). The instructions are all there in the piece of paper and it's not long so don't need to be scared, it's pretty easy. Just follow what it says. And basically you can just setup/configure using the Tether app but the app is 80 Mb so I might delete it and just connect to the extender and configure / monitor from a browser going forward (just need to save the URL on my browser)
If you want to use the Tether to setup/configure this extender you will need (do it before you setup the extender):
1. Create a d-link account (very easy, just need an email and create a password)
2. Have a Password Handy for your Extender - make 1 up (You need to create a login password to your Extender - You don't want everyone to be able to connect to your Extender and mess things up right?) - you will still need this even if you don't use a Tether app to setup your extender.
3. Have your WIFI password ready (the password of the WIFI connection that you want the extender to use). If you are connecting your extender to your router/modem directly with a cable, you do not need this but I think most people are trying to extender their WIFI connections wirelessly.
Worth every penny imo, I got this on sale for $60 CDN + tax. . 5 Stars product. Good Luck and hope this extender will be the last one you need for years to come.

Es muy facil instalarlo, en cuestion de 10 minutos ya esta listo y funcionando.
Desgraciadamente el onemesh no funciona tan bien y los equipos se conectan indiscriminadamente a cualquiera de los extensores y al router principal. Con esto a veces la conexion se realiza al extensor mas lejano, bajando el rendimiento.
Ademas de lo anterior, la potencia de estos equipos es mas baja que el RE650, estando pegado a ellos, no logran sobrepasar 200Mbps de conexion, cuando el RE650 alcanza los 500Mbps en mismas condiciones.
Si la veloidad de tu red de internet es menor a 200Mbps, tal vez te funcione sin mermas en velocidad, pero si es superior a eso, jamas lo alcanzaras con este equipo.
Ademas es mas caro que el RE650.
