Description

TP-Link RE300 AC1200 Wi-Fi Range Extender for Improving Wireless Coverage

The TP-Link RE300 is a wall-plug Wi-Fi range extender designed to strengthen an existing wireless network in rooms where the router signal is weak. It operates on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, with maximum wireless rates of 300 Mbps and 867 Mbps respectively.

It can work with a standard Wi-Fi router or access point, while compatible TP-Link mesh routers allow the RE300 to form part of a unified mesh network rather than operating only as a conventional extender.

Is This Right for You?

• Suitable when your existing router provides usable Wi-Fi nearby, but coverage becomes weak in another room or part of the property.
• A practical choice if you want dual-band Wi-Fi extension without running an Ethernet cable to the extender.
• Particularly useful with a compatible TP-Link mesh router if you want a single-network mesh experience.
• Choose another model if you specifically need an Ethernet port for a wired device or access-point connection.

Why Choose This Product?

• Dual-band AC1200 Wi-Fi: The RE300 can extend both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks, providing up to 300 Mbps and 867 Mbps wireless link rates respectively.
• Mesh compatibility: With compatible TP-Link routers, the extender can participate in a mesh network for a more unified Wi-Fi experience around the home.
• Smart placement guidance: The signal indicator shows whether the extender is receiving a strong or weak signal from the main router, helping you avoid placing it too far away.
• Simple setup: WPS can be used with a compatible router, while the TP-Link Tether app or Web UI provides an alternative setup and management method.
• Compact wall-plug installation: The RE300 connects directly to mains power and uses two internal antennas, avoiding a separate desktop power adapter or external aerials.

Before You Buy

• The RE300 extends an existing Wi-Fi network; it does not replace the internet router or provide an internet connection by itself.
• TP-Link states that it works with Wi-Fi routers and wireless access points, although compatibility may be affected by non-standard, modified or outdated router firmware.
• Mesh operation requires compatible TP-Link equipment and appropriate firmware. Check the compatibility of your router before buying specifically for mesh use.
• Smart roaming also depends on the connected client device supporting the required roaming standards.
• The RE300 has no Ethernet network interface and operates in Range Extender mode.
• Actual Wi-Fi speed and coverage vary according to building materials, interference, router placement, network traffic and connected devices.
