After initial setup, plug the extender in an outlet halfway between your router and the Wi-Fi dead zone. The location you choose should be within the range of your router. Wait for about 2 minutes until the Signal LED turns solid white. If it doesn't, relocate the extender closer to the router to achieve better signal quality.

5. Bedienungsanleitung

Once set up, the RE300 will automatically extend your Wi-Fi network. Devices in the extended area will connect to the extender's network name (SSID) which is typically your main network's name followed by "_EXT" or a new name you configured during setup. For OneMesh compatible routers, the extender will join your existing mesh network, providing a single unified Wi-Fi name for seamless roaming.

5.1 Dualband-Konnektivität

The RE300 operates on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The 2.4 GHz band offers wider coverage, while the 5 GHz band provides faster speeds and is ideal for bandwidth-intensive tasks like HD streaming and online gaming. Your devices will automatically connect to the most suitable band for optimal performance.

5.2 OneMesh for Seamless Roaming

If you have a TP-Link OneMesh compatible router, the RE300 can join the OneMesh network. This creates a single, unified Wi-Fi network name (SSID) across your entire home, allowing your devices to automatically switch to the strongest Wi-Fi signal as you move, without interruptions.

5.3 High-Speed Mode

Activate High-Speed Mode via the Tether app or web interface to dedicate one Wi-Fi band (e.g., 5 GHz) for backhaul connection to the router and the other band (e.g., 2.4 GHz) for client devices. This optimizes performance for demanding applications.

5.4 Access Point-Modus

The RE300 can also function as a wireless access point. Connect an Ethernet cable from your main router to the Ethernet port on the RE300. The extender will then broadcast a new Wi-Fi network, converting your wired connection into a wireless one.
