Wonderful WiFi client and repeater
TP-Link AX1500 WiFi Extender Internet Booster (RE500X), Ships from: Amazon.com, Sold by: Amazon.com, $54.79 July 2024.TLDR: Wonderful WiFi client and repeater at the same time. Connect any Ethernet device to your WiFi network.I use one of these to connect several Ethernet devices to the WiFi network through a switch. Just connect the Ethernet port on the RE500X with a standard Ethernet cable to any port on a switch and every other device on that switch has internet access. Switch is a TL-SG108E. Router is an Archer AX-80. It worked so well, I bought another. The second one is solely an internet repeater, nothing is connected to its Ethernet port. The first is 50ft from the router through a standard home wall and has 8 clients, Ethernet and both 2.4G and 5G wifi clients within 20ft. The second is 75ft from the router through a brick wall (with windows) and a standard wall with windows and has one 5G WiFi client at 40ft. The first has 1ms or less ping and zero packet loss over 100 pings. The second has 3ms average ping and has zero packet loss over 100 pings. I have them both set to replicate the exact same SSID of the router so no need to change SSID names with _EXT or whatever. Both are stable and working very well. Both have a security camera WiFi client that streams 24/7 to Blue Iris.Quite frankly, these are the best client/repeaters I have ever owned. Highly Recommended.I have a pet peeve with the lack of heat dissipation engineering on modern electronics, especially WiFi gear. Heat has been, is and shall always be the #1 enemy to electronics. Heat derates all amplifiers. I adapt quiet PC case fans for forced air ventilation on electronics one way or another. On the AX80 I sit it on top of a 12V 140mm PC case fan with padded wood feet. On these AX1500s, I drilled holes in the plastic cases with a 3” hole saw and mounted 80mm 5V USB fans with two 3/4” truss head wood screws. Plug the AX1500 into a 3 Way Plug Adapter along with a USB wall charger and plug the fan into the wall charger. Albeit ugly, they run quiet, cool, and extremely well.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CCF9M7QL?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B3T8FXFJ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B093WPKKZK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084X4QVLX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1Although the pictures on that Amazon page for the 5V fans don’t show it, they came with USB A males on them instead of the Mini 2-Pin PH 2.54mm Molex plug shown. The 3” hole saw was centered side to side and 2” down from the top. Took the case off first of course. And of course this voids any warranty or thought of return so I waited 48 hrs of burn-in before making this modification. 48hrs burn-in eliminates 90% of infant mortality. In electronics, if it survives burn-in, that puts the item right in the reliability bathtub curve. Add proper cooling and that enhances reliability.Hope this helps…

It work great.
This internet amplifier is very good, it has a lot of range, in my house we connect, 9 cell phones, 5 tablets, 3 televisions, 3 PlayStation, 1 Xbox, 2 laptops, 2 home computers and everything works well and fast. It has a very easy-to-use app.

Does not work at all. I still get dialup speeds in some areas of my house.
This product flat out DOES NOT WORK.I set it up according to the instruction included in the package. I reset it three times just in case I did something wrong. I also followed the instructions on the YouTube video which are clear but the device did not improve the speed of my network.I have google fiber and my speed next to the main router is upwards of 800 Mbps. The extender provided by google fiber works perfectly, I get about 400-600 Mbps even though the extender is in a different floor, and all the way on the other side of the house. This proves that I’m not trying to put the extender too far since this extender would have been about 30 feel away from the main router.I spent several hours fighting with the thing until I decided to call Google Fiber and order another extender just like the one they provided initially since I know those work seamlessly.The other issue I found is that by default this device will create a separate wifi network. So if you have a 2.4 and 5 Ghz network already, the device will create two additional networks so now you have 4 wifi networks competing with each other.After a few hours of edging I figure out how to merge all of them into a single one but that did not fix my range issue. All in all it was a waste of time trying to make these things work. Not worth it.

Returning due to poor performance
I had trouble with this thing. It’s very easy to set up. It has great features. The problem is it doesn’t reliably provide Internet over Wi-Fi. Devices have trouble connecting and then it seems to turn the Internet off until you try to use the device and after a few tries of no Internet it comes back on. I never had this kind of trouble without the extender I’m returning this

Excelente equipo, funciona mejor de lo que esperaba. Cumple con mis requerimientos.
