TP-Link AC1200 Wi-Fi Range Extender

Yes, the RE315 works with any WiFi router, so you don't need a TP-Link router to use it. Mesh features like OneMesh and EasyMesh need a TP-Link router that supports them for seamless roaming throughout your home.

Yes, the RE315 supports both OneMesh and EasyMesh. When paired with a compatible TP-Link router, it creates a single network. Your tech stays connected seamlessly between rooms without needing to switch networks manually.

Yes, the RE315 has 1 Ethernet port that lets you connect smart TVs, games consoles and other wired tech for a stable internet connection. The port supports speeds up to 100Mbps, which is enough for most streaming and browsing needs.

The RE315 is quick and easy to set up. Press the WPS button on your router, then press the WPS button on the extender within 2 minutes to connect. If your router doesn't support WPS, you can set up the extender using the TP-Link Tether app on your phone or through a web browser.

Place the RE315 about halfway between your router and the WiFi dead zone, making sure it's still within range of your router. The smart signal indicator light helps you find the best spot. A solid white light means strong coverage, while a red light means you need to move it closer to the router.

The RE315 delivers combined speeds of up to 1200Mbps across 2 bands, with 300Mbps on the 2.4GHz band for everyday browsing and 867Mbps on the 5GHz band for streaming and downloads. Actual speeds will vary depending on your router, internet connection and placement.

Yes, the RE315 is suitable for casual online gaming, especially on the 5GHz band, which delivers faster speeds at shorter range. For competitive or heavy gaming, a wired connection through the Ethernet port or a dedicated mesh system may give you more consistent performance.

The RE315 delivers faster speeds than the RE220, with up to 1200Mbps compared to 750Mbps. It also has 2 external antennas for stronger coverage, while the RE220 uses internal antennas and has lower power consumption, making it a more basic option for smaller spaces.

Yes, the RE315 can work as an access point, transforming your existing wired network into a wireless network. Simply plug an Ethernet cable into the port and switch to Access Point mode through the Tether app or web management page.

Some speed loss is normal because a range extender receives data from your router and then forwards it to your connected tech. To get the best performance, place the extender close enough to your router for strong coverage, use the 5GHz band for demanding tasks and keep the firmware updated.
