Verdict

The TP-Link RE605X is a dual-band AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 range extender that delivers combined speeds of up to 1.8 Gbps (1201 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 574 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band). It features two high-gain external antennas, a Gigabit Ethernet port for wired connectivity or Access Point mode, and supports WPA3 security along with OneMesh technology for seamless roaming with compatible routers. Main pros include its easy setup via the Tether app or WPS, improved network capacity for multiple devices, and an intelligent signal light to find optimal placement; however, it lacks MU-MIMO support and its mesh functionality is primarily limited to TP-Link's OneMesh ecosystem.
