We’ve all seen Wi-Fi extenders – little boxes you plug into your mains to repeat a WiFi signal, allowing your WiFi to reach into the darkest corners of your home. They’re incredibly useful, but sometimes it can take two or more extenders to do the job in a large or thick-walled house. That’s why TP-LINK have produced this RE210 dual-band Wi-Fi range extender, which uses the same techniques as high-end routers to massively boost your WiFi’s range and eliminate dead zones. Let’s take a closer look.
The RE210 immediately looks different to most WiFi extenders – instead of just being a little plastic box that plugs into your mains, it’s a larger plastic box with two prominent antennas. These allow it to broadcast on two bands simultaneously and increase the size of the coverage it provides substantially.
The RE210 provides ridiculously fast wireless speeds using the WiFi ac standard, which is capable of 750 Mb/s shared between the two frequency bands (433Mb/s on 5GHz and 300Mb/s on 2.4GHz). You can even use both bands simultaneously, one for sending and one for receiving, in the RE210’s high speed mode. This is perfect for bandwidth or latency-dependent tasks, like online gaming or streaming HD video.
As well as repeating a wireless network, the RE210 can also connect a wired-only device to your wireless network with its gigabit ethernet port. This ensures that your connection will be as fast and as stable as your wireless – no lag here! This is perfect for connecting smart TVs and games consoles.
Getting started is easy too. Just plug the RE210 into a nearby mains socket, then press the RE button on the repeater and the WPS button on your router at the same time. This connects the repeater to your network, and then you’re free to place the RE210 wherever it’s needed. You can even press a button on the router to turn off its LEDs, so it won’t distract or annoy you during the night.
Whether you’re extending a WiFi network for your family, your employees, your customers or even yourself, the TP-LINK RE210 is a high-grade and elegant solution. To order the RE210 and see more information, please visit the product page linked below:
