Verdict

The TP-Link RE705X is a high-performance AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 range extender that delivers combined dual-band speeds of up to 3000 Mbps, specifically 2402 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 574 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. It features support for a 160 MHz channel width for increased bandwidth, a dedicated Gigabit Ethernet port for high-speed wired connections, and compatibility with both OneMesh and EasyMesh technologies to create a seamless whole-home mesh network. Main pros include its industry-leading throughput for a plug-in device, simple setup via the TP-Link Tether app, and a built-in Access Point mode. However, notable cons include its tendency to run hot during operation, its relatively high price point compared to entry-level extenders, and the lack of a USB port for network storage.
