The TP-Link AC1200 Wi-Fi Range Extender RE305 is a popular choice for extending Wi-Fi coverage in homes. It's designed to be compact and easy to set up.

Setting up the RE305 is straightforward. You can install it using the WPS button or through the TP-Link Tether App, which guides you through the process. Once connected, it automatically syncs with your existing Wi-Fi network and creates a new network with an '_EXT' suffix. This feature allows for seamless connection to the extended network without needing to switch networks manually.
In terms of performance, the RE305 delivers up to 1200Mbps speed, with 300Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 867Mbps on the 5GHz band.
