RE813XE AXE5400 Wi-Fi 6E Range Extender w/Ethernet Port | 5.4 Gbps Tri-Band Wireless Repeater Amplifier | Up to 2800 Sq. Ft., 96 Devices | 6 GHz Band, 160 MHz | APP Setup | OneMesh Compatible

I've long been skeptical of Wi-Fi range extenders, but this unit made me a believer. I purchased it along with a TP-Link BE9300 (Archer BE550) router, primarily so that I could take full advantage of OneMesh/EasyMesh connectivity. Because I don't yet own any devices that support Wi-Fi 7, I don't need to extend the full Wi-Fi 7 capability of the router. However, the Wi-Fi 6E capability of the range extender means that the router and the range extender can use the 6-GHz band as a dedicated backhaul, leaving the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands free to connect to my devices. Even though I'm a computer-industry veteran, I generally hate having to configure networks. Installing this pair of devices, though, was remarkably easy. After ensuring that the new router was performing properly, I followed the instructions to configure the range extender. Everything worked correctly on the first try. I now have solid coverage from one ground-floor corner of my 2000-square-foot house (the router) to the opposite second-floor corner (my work computers). Because I reused the previous SSID (and let the TP-Link devices unify the three bands), I didn't need to reconfigure any other devices—they simply resumed working as before but with far better bandwidth.

When i first connected it, it said the signal was too weak to connect and to move the extender closer to the spectrum router which was in the other room just 100 ft away. I did so and was able to complete the setup. After the setup was completed i moved the extender into the back house where I intended to use it (400ft away) It works good and now I can connect my computer to the internet. The extender is big and bulky, takes up an entire single gang outlet and must be plugged in vertically or it will slip out of the outlet. No ground hole necessary. The four big antennas swivel and should be laid flat against the wall so they don’t get kicked and broken. Security can be setup via the local website easily. All in all it does a good job extending the signal and the price is fair compared to other name brands

I have a TP-Link AXE5400 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router (Archer AXE75) which reaches all corners of my home but the signal strength at the farthest corners are weak to moderate. I wanted to boost the signal strength in and around my garage where I have a couple of remote security cameras setup. To do this, I installed the TP-Link RE813XE AXE5400 Wi-Fi 6E Range Extender in my garage. The setup and connection process was very easy to accomplish. Just plug in the extender and press the WPS button on first the router, then the extender. It may take a few minutes so be patient and wait for the connection to be made. Once connected, you can move the extender to the area where it is required and plug it in. It will reconnect to the router and if the name of the extender is the same as the router, your devices will connect to the stronger signal automatically. It could not be any simpler. The signal strength at my cameras went from moderate to excellent and the cameras became more responsive to commands issued by the camera app. I am very pleased with the RE813XE and think it well worth the cost.

I really like the Wi-Fi to Ethernet capability. Using it as a wired connection is far more stable than Wi-Fi, and it works very well for gaming and other situations where a reliable connection matters. In that role, it performs great and has been very stable. The main downside is the size. It’s bulky, cannot be rotated, and ends up taking up the entire outlet space, which can be inconvenient, especially on power strips or crowded outlets. I don’t use the Wi-Fi extender feature very much—the Ethernet function is far more useful to me, and that’s where this device really shines. Overall, it’s a solid and stable product for turning Wi-Fi into a reliable Ethernet connection. The size and outlet design keep it from being perfect, but performance-wise it does what it’s supposed to do.

Simple setup and working well. Would have liked to see a guest network option, but otherwise happy with it.

Would not work with my Tp- Link router, AXE75, would not work with my security cameras either, and get real hot to the touch. Could not get it configured, I would not recommend.

This TP-Link RE813XE Wi-Fi range extender did a wonderful job of getting my new 6G band to reach easily in the upstairs of my home. It was super easy to set up with WPS so I had it up and running within mere minutes. The range covers the upper part of my 3200 SF house without any issues and connectivity is smooth and consistent. As expected, the 6G band of my upgraded internet doesn't penetrate walls as easly as the 2G and 5G, but this booster means I can keep my 6G signal no matter where I am in the house. Woks well with my iPhone 15 pro and my laptop when using a 6G capable wireless adapter (even my relatively new high end laptop didn't come prepared to capture the 6G band signal, though it runs pretty well on 5G.

Really good WiFi extender awesome coverage once added to the home router it covers all corners of the house
