Needed to update the WiFi side of my home network environment. After trying a couple of other devices, I found this one to work. Setup is easy, there three different modes to do so, being by the "Tether App" from a cell phone or tablet, by a computer web browser, or by the WPS button.
I chose the web browser setup route, and configured the RE500X in AP mode - as that was all I needed. Installing the RE500X enabled me to eliminate one older AP, and accomplish the replacement / upgrade of the AP needing to be upgraded. Speed-wise, the RE500x works as advertised. Reach or range of the WiFi signal in my environment is also as advertised. It also has three settings for WiFi coverage - minimum, intermediate, and maximum is a useful feature. It also has a "mesh" feature -
Cost-wise, this unit fit the pricepoint I needed. During my initial setup, I did need to reach out to TP-Link's tech support and found them very responsive and believe one of their suggestions provided the solution I needed - having to do with the DNS setting. Overall, very pleased with is product and would recommend it to anyone with basic networking skills.

So easy to install...and it works fantastic
I have tried numerous wifi "extenders" over the past 5 years or so, and none of them worked in contrast to the product claims by the manufacturer. I recently upgraded my router to a TP-Link AX21 (AX1800) wifi 6 model. I get great coverage inside my home, but venture outside onto my terrace and its signal could not produce a reliable connection. I was contemplating scrapping the router and going with a mesh router with satellites. But I just bought the router, was happy with it overall and I paid $100 USD for it. Then I began my search anew for an extender that would work with my router. Then I found this little baby for $70 on Amazon. I decided to give it a try, especially given Amazon's liberal return policies. I received the unit quickly and decided to pair it to my TP-Link router via the WPS mode. I plugged it in near my router. Step 1: press the WPS button on the router. Step 2: within 2 minutes, hold the WPS button on the extender for 2 seconds. Step 3: wait up to 2 minutes for pairing to be complete. Well, it worked flawlessly. I moved the extender to an AC outlet next to the door leading outside. I now got full wifi signal outside in either 2.4GHz or 5GHz. Also note, 5 GHz is great unless it is restricted by walls. So in the past, any signal I did receive outside had to be 2.4GHz. Now I can use either, and the connection strength on my iPhone 12 mini is great outside the house. Pages load instantly. YouTube videos stream flawlessly with no stuttering or lost connection. I could't be happier.Please note that the AX 21 TP-Link router has a design feature they call One Mesh. This extender also supports One Mesh. So unlike the extenders I have tried in the past, this extender maintains the same router channel name and SSID. So roaming is a seamless experience. I advise anyone looking for a good extender to consider this unit. But research is needed to make sure this extender is compatible with your router. I bought this extender because it specifically states it is One Mesh, and even bears the moniker "AX1800", undoubtedly with reference to my TP-Link AX1800 (AX21). Always choose an extender that allows for maintaining the same router channel name AND SSID. Other routers also have a feature to mesh with their extenders, so start your search there. Hope this helps!
