For the price point in Brasil, it's cheaper to extended the network with a proper router, like the "5G flagship" C80 or the C6 for a few reasons: the TE450 can NOT switch the channel and uses the same as the main router, causing overlapping networks to become extremely slower. On my tests, with a link speed that was running at 300 Mbps, after turning the extender on, all of the network would loose almost half of it's speed. I only recommend this if you are gonna use it with an RJ45 cable where your main router doesn't reach AT ALL and you want a simpler solution. Even in this scenario, I would recommend another TP Link router, as most have been updated the firmware to allow as Mesh compatible devices (if you think this is good, ofc).
thanks for tutorial. My router is in basement and outside of the basement 100 or less, away I have a studio that I used eero mesh to bring the wifi signal to this room. I installed a reolink camera and it works fine when I am in the studio , but when I try to look at my camera from outside , it does not connect! I ordered tp-link mesh wifi extender. should i put the extender in the studio or next to my router in the basement?
Everything seemed to connect I set up which one I wanted to extend but once as I got to the part where I had to see if the blue ring would stay solid everything failed I even went super close to my router and wouldn’t connect what can I do?
After 2 years is your unit still working? I had one of these worked well for a week, then I turned it on in the morning and it stopped working. I don't know if it's because I turned it off at night and turned it on in that made it stop working, no one could tell me what went wrong. I did return it back but anyone know why it stopped working?
Still using it, though every now and then I had to unplug and relocate to a different area. If I do that I MIGHT have to reset it again for some reason.
Hey I set mine up a week ago and all was working fine. now over the last 3 days my pc cant find the 2.4ghz channel anymore only the 5ghz though my phone can see both. its causing trouble as i game and the 5ghz is not solid and my connection drops but it was perfect on the 2.4ghz. Do you have any idea why that would suddenly happen
@@NewParentsInTraining Yes I have many times. I factory reset it aswell. I have updated my wifi drivers on the pc, uninstalled and re installed but nothing seems to be working, it has me stumped.
one of the best reviews I’ve seen on youtube, keep it up!
i followed your instructions but my problem is that i cannot find the extender in wifi what am i gonna do
Love the video, you seem like such a nice person, I hope all goes well in life with you :)

some reviews said that this is not a mesh extender since you need to pick a new ssid name, can u pls explain if this is true mesh extender?
please do a speed test

Hi. Does it has a restart schedule option? So it can restart daily? Thanks
I wonder, plugging a device into the ethernet port would do what exactly?
Thanx very helpful just finish my setup

thanks for review! very usefull!
Awesome instructional video!
Hey, does it create an additional network or repeat the existing one?
I just ordered the AX5400 AX73 TPlink router and I live in a 2 bedroom apartment.. should I get a mesh extender ?
I never realized that you could move the antenna up and down until now lol!
Hopefully my signal will improve, thanks!😉😀

That has not happened to me yet. Have you tried to restart the extender?

@@ryangt9855 did you recently upgrade to windows 11 ?
Does it work like mesh?
Thanks
Thanks man
It’s a mesh or extender? I.e. dies it keep the same network ?
both
can you use 2 of these?
Yes of course, you can cover more areas with more extenders.
Gracias por tu explicación
De nada
will it give different signal name or work like a mesh with same original network?
You should be able to set up as a mesh but it gives your wifis name with “_EXT” by default
This product is not a compatible device to OneMesh tecnology
What TP link app do you use?
Tether
Great video thanks 👍👍👍
i followed your instructions but my problem is that i cannot find the extender in wifi what am i gonna do

Hi,
Would you mind telling which product is compatible to Onemesh
According to amazon it is.
@@russelllee3782 ok, it could be but here where I live, RE450 is not. It's important see this information on the box before buy it.
