We purchased the TP-Link AC1200 Wi-Fi Range Extender RE305 so that our expert reviewer could thoroughly test and review it. Read on for our full product review.
TP Link RE305 AC1200 Wi-Fi Range Extender Review, Speed & Range Test, Installation!
If you live in a larger home or even an apartment where a central router is located too far from your home, you may experience poor connectivity issues or even dead zones where you can connect to the internet. That’s where wireless range extenders come in. By using them to piggyback on an existing wireless connection, you can extend a wireless signal to areas of your home that previously had no Wi-Fi. The TP-Link AC1200 Wi-Fi Range Extender RE305 is a budget-friendly, no-frills extender that promises quick setup, an understated design, and generally smooth connectivity at a great price.
We tested the device at home for over a week, assessing its design, ease of installation and network performance.
The RE305 is fairly small and unobtrusive, with a white plastic exterior and silver accents that are meant to blend in rather than stand out. At just 3.1 x 3.1 x 2.4 (LWH) inches unboxed and 6.4 ounces, it’s one of the most diminutive Wi-Fi solutions on the market. That means it’s easy to plug into an available outlet wherever you need a boost for your wireless signal.
