Extender Works Well
It took a little effort to find the correct placement for this wi-fi extender but once we did it started to work the way we had hoped it would. Obstruction is always a problem and something anyone should be aware of when trying to get better range with this kind of product.

Working well. Had to watch some youtube videos (as the instruction comes with the product is not very helpful) to set it up. No issue

At a glance
The TP-LINK RE450 is a dual-band Wi-Fi range extender designed for households that need stronger coverage in larger homes or hard-to-reach rooms. It suits streaming, gaming and general family use, with three external antennas, flexible access point mode and a Gigabit Ethernet port. Its main limitation is that, like many plug-in extenders, real-world speeds and placement performance still depend heavily on your existing router and wall layout.
What it’s great for
- Eliminating Wi-Fi dead zones
- HD and 4K streaming
- Online gaming
- Extending coverage to bedrooms and living areas
- Connecting a wired media device
- Home network upgrades
Where it works best
- Large homes
- Multi-room households
- Double-storey homes
- Home offices
- Bedrooms with weak Wi-Fi
- Detached rooms or outbuildings with moderate signal reach
Who it’s for
- Families
- Remote workers
- Streamers
- Gamers
- Renters
- Home users wanting stronger whole-home Wi-Fi
Things to consider
It offers strong extender performance for the category, but it does not match the seamless roaming, backhaul flexibility or whole-home consistency of premium mesh systems.
Large home suitability
8/10 - well suited to larger homes thanks to dual-band performance and three external antennas, though coverage still depends on router location and building materials.
Ease of setup score
9/10 - straightforward plug-in setup with WPS support and a signal indicator that simplifies placement.
Multi-device compatibility
High - works with common Wi-Fi devices across 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, plus one wired Ethernet device.
Speed improvement vs category average
8/10 - faster than many basic extenders due to AC1750 dual-band capability and Gigabit Ethernet support.
Rental suitability
9/10 - ideal for renters because it is plug-in, wall-mountable and does not require permanent installation.
Key benefits
- AC1750 dual-band Wi-Fi: Supports up to 1300Mbps on 5GHz and 450Mbps on 2.4GHz for smoother streaming, gaming and everyday browsing.
- Three external antennas: Helps maintain a stronger and more stable signal through larger spaces and multiple walls.
- Gigabit Ethernet port: Lets you connect a wired device such as a smart TV, console or media box for a more stable network link.
- Access point mode: Can turn a wired Ethernet connection into a wireless access point for added placement flexibility.
- Intelligent signal light: Helps you find a better placement spot by showing whether the extender has a strong or weak link to your router.
- Dual-band operation: Allows devices to use either 2.4GHz for wider compatibility or 5GHz for faster short-range performance.
- Wall-mountable plug-in design: Installs without needing shelf space, making it practical for hallways, living areas and spare rooms.
- WPA/WPA2-PSK and WEP support: Provides compatibility with common wireless security setups used on home networks.
Q: Will this extender solve Wi-Fi issues across every room?
A: No. TP-LINK RE450 can extend coverage into dead spots, upstairs rooms or outbuildings, but it still relies on the strength of the existing router connection. Very large or complex layouts with several weak zones may need a broader network solution.
Q: Can the RE450 work as an access point over Ethernet?
A: Yes. TP-LINK RE450 can switch to access point mode when it is connected by Ethernet, so it can create Wi-Fi in an area where the router's wireless signal is weak. That suits rooms with a network cable already in place.
Q: Can I connect a console or TV by Ethernet?
A: Yes. TP-LINK RE450 has one Gigabit Ethernet port for a wired device such as a console, media box or smart TV. It is useful when the device is stationary and you want a steadier link than Wi-Fi alone can provide in that spot.
Q: Does this range extender block the second wall outlet?
A: Yes. TP-LINK RE450 has a bulky wall-plug design and can cover the adjacent socket on a standard two-outlet wall plate. It does not include a pass-through power outlet, so plan on using a free outlet for it alone.
Q: Where should I place the RE450 for best coverage?
A: Place TP-LINK RE450 between the router and the weak-signal area, not at the very edge of the drop-out zone. Its signal light shows connection quality, with blue indicating a good link and red showing it is positioned too far away.
Q: Does the RE450 support both 2.4GHz and 5GHz devices?
A: Yes. TP-LINK RE450 is a dual-band extender, so it can work with both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi devices on the same home network. That helps older gear stay connected while newer devices use the faster band when signal conditions suit.
