4.4 Relocate for Optimal Placement

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.

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 Asopọmọra Meji-Band

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.

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.
