The TP-Link RE205 AC750 is a dual-band Wi-Fi range extender designed to expand an existing wireless network into areas with weak reception. Operating on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, it provides theoretical wireless signal rates of up to 300 Mbps and 433 Mbps respectively, making it a practical solution for improving Wi-Fi access around the home or office. Featuring two external antennas, an intelligent signal indicator, and a compa wall-plug design, the RE205 helps simplify placement and setup. It also supports Access Point mode through its Ethernet port, TP-Link OneMesh networking with compatible routers, and convenient configuration using the TP-Link Tether app. Key Features AC750 Dual-Band Wi-Fi: Supports up to 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 433 Mbps on 5 GHz theoretical wireless signal rates. Expanded Wireless Coverage: Extends an existing Wi-Fi network into areas where the main router's signal is weak. Intelligent Signal Indicator: Helps identify a suitable placement location by displaying connection strength. Two External Antennas: Designed to support wireless signal reception and extended coverage. Range Extender and Access Point Modes: Extend an existing wireless network or create a wireless access point from a wired Ethernet connection. OneMesh and Tether Support: Create a unified Wi-Fi network with compatible OneMesh routers and manage settings through the TP-Link Tether app. Technical Specifications Component Specification TP-Link Model RE205 Hardware Version Produ Type Wi-Fi Range Extender Wi-Fi Class AC750 Wireless Standards IEEE 802.11a/n/ac (5 GHz), IEEE 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz) Wireless Bands 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz 2.4 GHz Signal Rate Up to 300 Mbps (theoretical) 5 GHz Signal Rate Up to 433 Mbps (theoretical) Operating Modes Range Extender / Access Point Ethernet Port 1 × 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Antennas 2 × External Antennas Mesh Compatibility TP-Link OneMesh Wireless Security WEP, WPA/WPA2-PSK Buttons WPS, RESET Plug Type Input Power 100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz Maximum Power Consumption 7.2 W Dimensions (W × D × H) 77.8 × 40 × 80 mm Management TP-Link Tether App / Web Management Compatibility & Important Information Existing Wi-Fi Network: Range Extender mode requires an existing Wi-Fi router or wireless access point. The RE205 does not provide an independent internet connection. OneMesh Compatibility: A compatible TP-Link OneMesh router is required to create a unified OneMesh network. Access Point Mode: Requires an Ethernet connection to an existing wired network. Ethernet Speed: The RJ45 port supports 10/100 Mbps, not Gigabit Ethernet. Placement: The intelligent signal indicator helps position the extender within suitable wireless range of the main router. Wireless Rates: AC750 is a wireless class designation. The advertised band speeds are theoretical and do not represent guaranteed internet throughput. Power Connection: The specified version uses an EU-style wall plug.
