You are a life saver Sir! I have bought this kind of Wifi Repeater but I was not getting the speed that I wanted. After watching this video, I understood that it is possible to switch the bands coming in and out of the repeater. I followed what you did and now I am getting the speed I want. Was getting frustrated already, but fortunately I found your video. THANK YOU!!!
godfather PLEAAAASE HOW WE DO THAT ?????
Thank you. A very clearly spoken guide to setting up this wifi range extender. Still have some questions but will put these to the tech person when I buy.
Superb settings for this extender, i tried this then from the speed of 2ghz much faster..... from 5-10mbps it becomes 40-50mbps. I learned good information about this!!
Thank you for the detailed feature walkthrough of the extender. Its very helpful.
You mentioned the Ethernet isn’t an input,,, but it is. You can plug in a wired connection and emit a wifi signal. Page 20 of the Manual.
I bought this TP Link RE450 and have to say it works great as a signal extender, actually the signal is stronger than the one sent by the main router. The only issue is that it cuts your WiFi speed to half. I wrote TPLink support and they explained that in theory the processing speed is X2, since the modem send the signal to the repeater, and then the repeater sends the signal. My internet speed goes from 30 to 40 Mbps, and the speed i get from the repeater is between 15 and 25.
So, i would say that if you are thinking on buying one, try to hire a high speed internet, or the signal you'll get from the repeater will be too slow.
Great review by the way!
thanks
I got one yesterday and mine doesn't cut the speed. It improved the speeds on devices in my room
Thanks I learned some good info. Cheers
Thank you so much for the Video!
Brought AC1750 and all doing well,
except I am unable to use a different password than primary router, for extender. Any option?
Hello. Can you disable both 2.4 and 5GHz Wi-Fi extend and just connect a device via cable? Do the hosts that connect to the extender get an ip on the same network as the ones connecting to the original router or they are placed in a different range?
Congrats on the video.
Congratulations TaoM! Great video and great explanation. I was really confused trying to set it up but now it is clear except one little doubt: what LEDs should be on if we use it to receive the signal as you did in the video, i.e., receiving 5 GHz and transmitting it with 2.4 GHz? I'd appreciate it if you could also help me with the following: my ISPs router maximum speed at 2.4GHz is 50 Mbps, so beyond that I need to use 5GHz. To take advantage of the 200 Mbps that I am entitled to, should I then set it up to receive at 5 GHz and also transmit at 5 GHz? Thank you!
Hi, Ricardo. thanks. 1. if you receive 5 GHz then the 5GHz light will be on. 2. For your situation I would suggest you try receive and transmit on 5GHz band. if it can achieve optimum speed and keep it stable, then keep it that way. otherwise, use receive on 5GHz then transmit on 2.4GHz. Hope this helps
sometimes it is nice to have a complete explanation
but how to connect multiple access points to one router like a bridge by two access points to one router
My question is could you do a video on how to use winrar or winzip to upgrade the firmware on this extender? I have recently moved to a room with no hook up and had to use the same extender you are doing the review on.RE450 is a good range extender just been having issue with wifi dropping off intermittently. Subbed and liked video also.
Thanks Tao. That was a great explanation. Just firing/ rebooting up an old Extender the tplink 1750; as my "new" Gateway (2020) actually has reduced range. Your video is a great help. Thanks.
Thank you for this tutorial. Do you still use this or have you found a better extender?
@H.E Penneypacker
Still got it. And working fine.
For High Speed Mode, is there an actual section in the settings to enable it? Or did you just simply choose to use the 5GHz for the router and 2.4GHz for the repeater yourself, basically forcing it into only talking to the router on one and clients on the other?
Just choose 2 separate frequency networks. 1 to router, second as repearer.
Great, thank you! Hoping to pick one up today on local Kijiji for $60!
Does a mobile device reconnect depending if you are first near the main router, and then you move out of distance from the router, but you move near the Extender ? I am going to guess that it will reconnect to the extender automatically ?
It will reconnect to extender if other network is disconnected automatically
UK pins are always the same way up. Never upside down.
Thanks for clarifying. 👍
I had high hopes for this setup, but it is actually worse than just using 5G band on both router and extender.
My router's 5G speed is 460Mbps and around 100 on 2.4G. When set up as in the video, extender's 2.4G is 130 Mbps. But when on 5G only on both, it is around 300Mbps.
Extender firmware is up to date. Doubt tp-link support will have any good solutions and I probably will have to swallow my pride and route a cable to the extender and use it as an AP.
HELLO SIR, I HAVE A QUESTION
MY FRIEND HOUSE IN 200 M AWAY FROM MY ROOM, CAN THIS DISTANCE THIS EXTENDER CAN TRAVEL ? , I AM USING MI ROUTER C3/R3L 300 MBPS . MY BROADBAND SPEED IS 75 MBPS
Hi, can you help please, I want to reach a CCTV wireless camera which is around 35mtrs away from the router first of all is this possible?, and if so would I put the extender halfway between? thanks for any help Malc
+luckylewis59 i would say half way is your best option. But you might want to try and error to see where is the best location.
Great thank you.
I've just purchase two RE450 wifi extender units for one of my Hikvision hd 4mp ip camera's on my outside garage,which is approximately 30 to 35 meters away from our home. They run perfectly in range with blue signal strength. However Tp-link UK say one unit can reach 12,000 square metres away..however we needed two units to reach our garage..hmmm.?
Correction: I used this device as an access point by plugging my LAN cable from router INTO the ethernet slot.
exactly , I did the same after updating the firmware
Thanks for that information. I want to use the Re450 as a wired extender, from my router using cable to the extender via its only port, for wireless Internet to my garden.
I will try it then. Thanks
Hi, but how do you set the RE450 to work on Hi Speed, just by not using the 2.4 range on the endpoints devices?
Yes, by doing 5G in 2.4G out it reduces a lot of the processing that the repeater/extender must do. 2.5G is slower but less susceptible to interference, it can go through walls a lot easier than 5 gig.
Can i use more than one of these with the same router and if so does it have to be the same model or could i use a different TP Link extender with this model
Yes and yes
I have another model which is RE200 which can go up to 750Mbps. My internet speed can reach 300Mbps from wifi router, however when I connect to the extender, it's merely hit 140Mbps... Is this normal??
Well. You will always have speed lose when using the extender. It also depends on the signal strength, interference,thick wall etc. I would suggest you to try using high speed mode and put them closer to test the max speed you can get, then find the best location for it. Try and error buddy. Hope this helps.
Alright thanks.
My router connection is 150Mbps at 5ghz and extender extends 2.4 ghz only around 50Mbps. Why?
It does not extend wifi signals in my case.. I had 1750 and it just don't extend to the next room and also not the next floor. I m not sure what is use of extender if it can't extend the signals. Also I have seen speed goes significantly low on extended network
If my router is giving 222mbps. The extender gives me 70.mbps.
did you use the 2.4 -> 5 Ghz setting (high speed mode) settings? if not, try using it. It's completely normal to have only a fraction of the original speed. In fact, these devices are called wifi signal boosters, not wifi speed boosters...
I have a 100mbps connection. Now my main router is dual band. So 2.4Ghz band ssid tops speed at 40mbps and 5Ghz Band ssid goes till 100mbps. Now I have set up RE200 in Highspeed Mode, so it connects to main router at 2.4Ghz and transmits at 5Ghz. But when I connect to the Extended 5Ghz band of the RE200 the speed I get is 100mbps. How is it possible when the Repeater is connecting to main router at 2.4Ghz only which tops at 40mbps, but when it transmits at 5Ghz the speed I get is 100mbps.
@Aditya A. Aima
Hi, sounds like your 2.4GHz connection is very sustainable(stable), and much less interference on 2.4GHz band. Depending on your main router spec, on 2.4GHz band, the speed could go up to 400mbs. Check your main router's specs.
@@TaoMStudio The router is Huawei HG8145v5 but is ISP locked and enabled for remote configuration by ISP. However I am still confused about one thing. The channel router is using is free around my place but still router is reducing the 100mbps+ WAN connection to around 50 on 2.4Ghz but when I am using RE200 extender in High Speed Mode it's connection to Huawei on 2.4Ghz(it's actually unable to see 5Ghz SSID because it's on channel 149 which is not compatible for RE200) and broadcasting 5Ghz SSID on channel 36. Now if the host router i.e Huawei is only giving 50 mbps on 2 4Ghz how is TP link RE200 giving 100 mbps on its 5Ghz. Is it somehow connecting twice to Huawei and adding two up and broadcasting on 5GHz
im confused
the mbps speed is 1300 Mbps + 450 Mbps
if i use output with cable lan. which one my pc will get?
1300?? or 450??
BALAS
1300Mbps on 5GHz, 450Mbps on 2.4GHz, Gigabit ethernet port output, so 1000Mbps on LAN. Hope this helps.
TaoM Studio wait.
i have the smaller version of tp link repeater, in box is write 300mbps... and when i using LAN try download with IDM
i only get 3.124mbps...
i go to main router and connect my Pc , i got 8.346mbps with IDM
why? if i buy like yours,
why you say i get 1000mbps? how can? the input signal of that repeater from wifi right? and the speed of wifi on 2.4 is 450mbps...
how can i get 1000mbps with output LAN?
"Mbps" and "MBps" are different thing. Google it if in doubt. The ethernet port on RE450 is capable of Gigabit speed, but does not mean you will get that speed. "mbps" on the device itself simply means that the max speed it can cope. 👍
my repeater is TL-WA850RE, the most cheapest.
can you tell me how max my speed if i use the ethernet?
100mbps right?
Worked in the bedroom, in spite of your advice.

HOW TO ENABLE HIGH SPEED MODE
Why is my extender speed slower than my actual router doesn't matter where I put it in my house
These work great for a few months then they fail..TP Link will not honor warranty . Run you in circles with tests and failed options..TP Link I would def not recommend
It dont work
Pop air gun
This is the worst extender out of all of them
I have been using it since I reviewed, till now never had issues.
It has been stopping every hour for some reason, I don’t know why
Try if there is firmware update or reset it. It may help. Make sure it receives good signal from your router. If nothing works, go back to where you bought it, then exchange it
