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.

Wi-Fi keeps Strongest for Unlimited Moving

With TP-Link Mesh Technology, it’s easy to form a Mesh network with a single Wi-Fi name for seamless whole home coverage. Just connect RE550 to a OneMeshTM 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.

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.

I set it up with my access points downstairs and took it upstairs to the hallway, and now all rooms are serviced so well with a decent wifi speed so I can work productively from my office now. Fantastic! I used to use a power line extender with an old wifi router but it kept dropping out and signal on the power line extender was dreadful. I get up to 96Mb/s download out of a 200Mb/s line upstairs which is more than sufficient for what I need it for. Latency is only 22ms as well so not too bad for work. If I was gaming, I'd probably need higher speeds, but for voice and network it's great!
Highly recommended.
The first thing I noticed when opening the box was how big it was. It is 7.5x16cm, plus the aerials. On the other hand, the profile is flat, so it doesn't stick out from the wall. Our previous extender, although much smaller, stuck out far more, and the aerials were constantly getting knocked. This router feels heavy and solid, and the build quality seems to be good.
Set-up was quick and simple. Plug in close to the router; press WPS button on the router, then on the extender; repeat if using both bands; once the lights are steady, unplug and plug in at the best location. The main LED will be blue if the signal from the router is strong enough, red if it's weak. Altogether, 2 minutes from connecting to having 5-bar wifi everywhere in the house.
It happens that we got the best signal by locating it in a bedroom. A nice feature is that the LEDs can be switched off with a single press of a button, so nobody's sleep will be disturbed.
Recommended.
I got nowhere with method one on the quick setup guide and so turned to method two. I eventually got this to work but I draw your attention to ‘3 Configure’ part 3. ‘Either keep the default SSIDs or customize them for the extended networks’. If you keep the default SSIDs you will have no easy way of seeing the TP link extender as a connection point for your iPad or wireless device etc. It will not be displayed as such automatically and as a consequence you will not be able to see whether your device is connecting to the router or the extender. I did this first of all and when my iPad connected to the network in a room with a poor signal, the signal still registered as poor because the iPad was connecting to the router and not the extender. When I guessed this might be happening, I went back into the configuration and gave the 2.4 and 5 GHz channels an individual name and DID NOT CLICK the ‘Copy Host SSID’ box. Hey Presto, problem solved. The extender channels then showed up separately on my iPad and I could connect to them and get a strong signal.
When I received this product I was very unsure to buy it as it is on the more expensive side and i have bought a different make one before and it was rubbish. But anyway after reading the reviews I decided to give this one a go. I am currently a virgin media customer and do get super fast broadband but my kids kept moaning as the signal was weaker reaching upstairs in a corner room through thick walls, and they couldn't play their online games and it was always slow or they kept getting booted off the games.
So I bought this. It arrived it great solid posh packaging just like the iPhone packaging. I firstly tried to set the extender up using the wps button but unfortunately after two goes it just wasn't happening. So I went ahead with using the instructions to set up the extender 'using a web browser' ie via a laptop.
The instructions were very easy to follow. You simply plug the extender in (preferably next to your original wi-fi router for now) until a solid blue light, use your laptop to connect to the tp-link extender wifi. The tp-link web browser should automatically launch or there is a website you can type in. You then need to make and enter a secure password to you for yourself. Then another window appears for you to find your old wireless router name and password to select this information, another window will appear for both 2.4 and 5ghz for you to save router names and passwords. You then verify this all on the next screen, then save.
After this you can now move the tp-link extender to the designated area, I simply plugged it in on the top landing, didn't even need to plug it next to the games console upstairs.....and wait for the solid blue light to appear and......that's it!!!!!
The wifi signal has now been boosted from 20.2mbps to 58.9mbps in the top corner room. My total wifi during peak week day is 66.1mbps. To calculate these figures I used the speedtest app.
I have included a screen shot for you guys to see. The bottom result is me standing in the corner bedroom upstairs, the second is me standing next to the original virgin media router and the top is of me standing back in corner bedroom with extender turned off.
I think this shows what a massive help the router has been and my kids have not complained since. When you do move and plug the extender back in, please allow for the solid circle light, the three blue lights plus a few minutes after for it all to kick in and you will be away!!!!!!
