• Reviews around throughput (2.71 of 5)

    TP-Link AC1200 Dual Band WiFi Range Extender, Repeater, Access Point w/ Mini Housing Design, Extends WiFi to Smart Home & Alexa Devices (RE305)

    • I let the (good reviews) distract me from the (bad reviews), and there were plenty of those highlighting the same, and other issues (e.g., dropped connections, dead device, poor throughput).Honestly, I expect a lot out of a such an expensive product, but for me, this one didn't deliver, and is not worth keeping, as it's better for me, network performance-wise, to avoid using it all together.
    • Brilliant range extender, replaced a Netgear WN2500RP, and the range and data throughput on 5GHz level was like night and day.
    • The latest firmware update was applied, the range wasn't too far from the router/AP, and there weren't any other devices on the extender, but yet, rotten throughput.
    • Sometimes, more than I am happy with, my MacBook Pro connects to the original AC3150 on 5GHz which has a low signal and weak throughput down here
    • The throughput is awful.
    • Throughput was dismal.
    • With the extender, the strength of the signal has improved to -30 (2.4g) and -33 (5g), extremely strong, and the speed is consistently around 31 mbps down and 24.4 mbps up (2.4g) and 80 mbps both up and down (5g)
    • Now only the 2.4 G connection works.
    • good product, strong wifi signal.. support 5G easy to use, and good support team as well
    • That is not a knock against the extender at all but a caution that just because it says it supports 5g, your device you are connecting must also be 5g capable.
    • Easy to setup and the 2g plus the 5g work
