TP-Link RE220 AC750 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Range Extender

The TP-Link RE220 range extender is a dual-band AC750 device intended to extend an existing Wi-Fi network into weaker-signal areas. It has an Ethernet port and can also operate in access point mode, though the listing cautions that an extender improves coverage rather than increasing the internet connection's speed.

Pros and cons

Pros

Multiple setup methods offer alternatives if WPS pairing is not convenient.
A wired Ethernet connection and access point mode broaden its use beyond wireless repeating.
A compact listed size and weight may suit a wall outlet installation.

Cons

The listing explicitly says extenders are designed to improve coverage, not increase internet speed, and warns actual speeds may be 50% or less of current speeds.
The stated Ethernet speed is 100 Mbps, which limits wired throughput compared with gigabit Ethernet.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are inconsistent: the title says Ethernet port, the feature text specifies a 100 Mbps port, and AP-mode text calls it Gigabit Ethernet. The details table also lists USB 2.0 as the connector type. Wireless-rate claims differ between 733 megabits_per_second, 750 Mbps total bandwidth and band-specific figures of 433 Mbps and 300 Mbps. Coverage and device-capacity claims also vary between up to 1200 square feet and 20 or 32 devices. Confirm the selected unit's ports and exact specification before buying. Coverage and speed vary with placement, obstacles, network conditions and connected devices.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

Households seeking to improve Wi-Fi coverage in a limited dead zone rather than increase their internet plan speed.
Buyers who want WPS, app or web-based setup options and may use a wired device or AP mode.

Less suited to

Buyers who need a guaranteed coverage area, device capacity or wireless throughput across different homes.
Anyone requiring confirmed gigabit Ethernet or higher-than-100-Mbps wired connectivity.

Customer feedback describes setup as easy and includes positive reports of signal strength and stable connections, but experiences with speed, range and connectivity are mixed. Some customers report reliability problems, and opinions on value differ. This matters for the RE220 because its listed role is coverage extension, with performance dependent on conditions rather than a guaranteed speed increase.

Positive themes

Customers commonly describe setup as easy and some recommend the extender.

Negative themes

Some customer feedback reports reliability problems, including units that stop working.

Mixed feedback

Reports about signal strength, connectivity, speed and range vary, as do opinions about value.

Frequently asked questions

Does the RE220 increase internet speed?

The listing says the extender is intended to improve coverage, not increase speeds, and states actual speeds may be 50% or less of current speeds. Results depend on the network and placement.

What Ethernet speed does it support?

The feature text specifies a 100 Mbps Ethernet port, but another AP-mode statement calls the port Gigabit Ethernet. The listing is inconsistent, so confirm the exact port specification before relying on gigabit connectivity.

How can I set up the RE220?

The listing describes setup through WPS, the TP-Link Tether app or a web interface.

Does it use the same Wi-Fi network name as the router?

The listing says it creates a separate Wi-Fi network name, or SSID, from the router.
