Verdict

The TP-Link RE450 is a dual-band AC1750 Wi-Fi range extender capable of delivering speeds up to 1300Mbps on the 5GHz band and 450Mbps on the 2.4GHz band. Key characteristics include three adjustable external antennas for optimized coverage, a high-speed Gigabit Ethernet port for wired devices, and an intelligent signal light that helps users find the ideal installation spot. Main pros include its easy setup via the RE button and Tether app, solid throughput performance at long distances, and its versatile ability to double as a wireless access point. However, users should note its bulky design, which often blocks adjacent wall outlets, and the lack of an integrated AC pass-through socket.
