Q: How do i know if it’s compatible with my Xfinity Wifi Router?

submitted by Edwin - 2 months ago
  • A: Hi Edwin, thanks for reaching out about TP-Link AC750 Wi-Fi Range Extender - Black (RE205). This is a range extender; you connect it to your wifi service, and it rebroadcasts the WiFi signal. That being said it should work with all wireless routers. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

    submitted byMatt - 2 months ago
    Target expert support
  • A: Hi! TP-Link Wi-Fi Extenders are universally compatible with Wi-Fi Routers. As long as your Xfinity Wi-Fi Router is broadcasting either 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or both bands, this extender will be able to detect and extend the networks - as long as it is placed within signal range of the router.

Q: Hello, not sure if this the right device, but I need a device that I can use wired connection for my work laptop but still have access to my wifi connections such as phones, TV etc.

submitted by Cra99 - 8 months ago
  • A: Hi! Once installed and set up, the TP-Link RE205 can extend your existing Wi-Fi network connection, while simultaneously providing wired/Ethernet connectivity through its Ethernet port, for your laptop.

    Brand expert
  • A: Hi Cra99, thanks for reaching out about TP-Link AC750 Wi-Fi Range Extender - Black (RE205). The TP-Link AC750 is just a wireless range extender. If you’re trying to extend the coverage of your wireless, this will work. If you’re trying to add wireless to your home, you may need a wireless router. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: In order to have the extender talk to the router I will need to connect them. Is it possible to connect them on Wi-Fi without pressing the WPS button ?

submitted by X Luthor - 10 months ago
  • A: Hi X Luthor, thanks for reaching out about TP-Link AC750 Wi-Fi Range Extender - Black (RE205). Step 1: First of all, you need an ethernet cable to establish the connection between the router and the extender. Now, insert one end of the ethernet cable in the internet port of the extender and the other end in the internet port of the router. Step 2: Now, make sure that your WiFi extender is in the ready state. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

    submitted byJoe - 10 months ago
    Target staff support
  • A: Yes, absolutely! An Ethernet cable is not required to set up the Wi-Fi Extender. You can intuitively and conveniently connect the extender to your existing router's Wi-Fi using the TP-Link Tether app on your smartphone, or the web browser setup method on a PC or smartphone. Both of these setup options are detailed in the included Quick Installation Guide for your convenience.

Q: What is the range on this extender?

submitted by candyfloss - 11 months ago
  • A: Hi! Effective extended range can vary depending on elements within your network environment, including, but not limited to: - Placement of the extender in relation to your router - Physical obstructions (e.g. walls, etc.) between the extender, router, and your devices - Distance between the extender and your devices - Which extended Wi-Fi band you are connecting to (2.4GHz vs. 5GHz)

  • A: Hi candyfloss, thanks for reaching out about TP-Link AC750 Wi-Fi Range Extender - Black (RE205).

Q: will this work as a travel extender for hotel wifi? I'm trying to create a secured wifi off the hotels public wifi?

submitted by Bjarema - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi! No, a Wi-Fi extender does not create a separate LAN/routed network from the source network; Wi-Fi extenders simply extend the same LAN, but with the option of a different SSID (Wi-Fi name).

1 reply from TPLinkSupport team - 3 months ago
Hi, Thank you for your review. Single Band and Dual Band Wi-Fi extenders utilize half-duplex transmission. As a result, throughput when connecting to the extender may be reduced when compared to the router. This is an industry standard for Wi-Fi extenders and is not exclusive to TP-Link. In your case, we recommend relocating the unit to a position in your home where the router's Wi-Fi signal is sufficiently strong; yet far enough from the router to effectively extend its range. We also suggest making sure you are connecting via the 5GHz band, and that the Extender's firmware is fully up to date, as outlined in FAQ 1409 on our official TP-Link website. If you'd like assistance with any of these steps, please reach out to our free support team using any of the resources included with the product, or from our official website, and we'll gladly have a Support Agent follow up with you directly. Thank you, TP-Link Support

AC750 TP Link - 4 months ago
For me, I connected the TP link and tested the internet speed on my console for it. It only brought down my download speed. With the TP link it was bringing down my Wi-Fi's upload speed in general as well. After disconnecting the TP link I noticed my normal WI-FI upload and download speed was way higher than it was when it was on and connected. Did not work the best for me but it is good for the price of $30 but just didn't work for me personally.

I rely on a range extender for work, and this thing is constantly disconnecting. I have to completely reset it probably once every 2 months or so, and it’s always disrupting my work-flow. Getting it set back up is also an ordeal, as I’ll get multiple error messages before it actually connects. I’ll probably upgrade after researching a better option.
