TP-Link RE405BE - Wi-Fi 7 Range Extender, white

The TP-Link BE6500 Wi-Fi 7 Range Extender (RE405BE) is a networking device that receives and re-transmits wireless signals to extend home coverage. Using the Wi-Fi 7 standard, it achieves a combined theoretical data transfer rate of 6500 Mbit/s. It is a dual-band unit, supporting the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency ranges simultaneously; it provides up to 5764 Mbit/s on the 5 GHz band and up to 688 Mbit/s on the 2.4 GHz band. By relaying the signal from an existing router, the device maintains connectivity in areas with weak coverage. It also supports Multi-Link Operation (MLO) to improve latency and data handling.

The unit features four external antennas for signal reception and distribution. A 2.5 Gbit/s Ethernet port allows for wired connections to devices such as smart TVs or gaming consoles. Designed to plug directly into a standard power outlet, the unit requires no additional cables or desk space. Installation is straightforward, using a physical WPS button for pairing with compatible routers. Users can manage configurations, network settings, and security modes like WPA3 via a web-based interface. The device consumes a maximum of 15 W and supports firmware upgrades to maintain compatibility with network standards.

• Combined Wi-Fi 7 speeds of 6,500 Mbit/s: provides bandwidth for multi-device environments and 4K streaming.
• 2.5 Gbit/s Ethernet port: creates a multi-gigabit wired access point or connects hardware directly for a stable connection.
• Four adjustable external antennas: directs signals to specific rooms or floors where coverage is currently insufficient.
• WPA3 security: protects the extended network using modern wireless standards against unauthorised access.
• Web-based management interface: allows monitoring and configuration of network settings through a browser without a mobile app.
• Upgradable firmware: ensures the device remains compatible with future security patches and performance improvements.
• Dual-band 802.11be/ax/ac/n/a/b/g support: maintains compatibility with both legacy Wi-Fi hardware and newer devices.
