TP-Link BE10000 Wi-Fi 7 Range Extender RE653BE | 10 Gbps Tri-Band Wireless Repeater | 2.5 Gbps Ethernet Port | Internet Signal Booster for Home | Up to 2800 sq.ft, 128 Devices | 6 GHz, MLO, EasyMesh

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This product is working very well with my TP-link WIFI 7 router as a mesh node and it has now given me full WIFI 7 speed on my patio, with the router alone would not reach out of the house on its own. Now I have full WIFI speeds in all parts of the home.Ease of setup:Very easy with tp-link tether app to get it working with the main WiFi router as a mesh node.

I ordered this for my mom who needed wifi in her garage. After both of us watching several videos on the install, we finally found a sweet spot to set it so it is in reach of both the router and her garage. Score!

Works great as a mesh router with other TP Link devices. I use it as an upstairs extender with my playstation hardwired in

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I got a real good deal on a TP-Link Wi-Fi 7 router but it didn't reach the signal well to the other end of my home cuz it was in the second story of one corner so I purchased this which seem to help bring the signal closer but instead of a piecemeal solution I opted to return it and purchase a TP-Link Wi-Fi 7 mesh solution which proved to be much better option for me.

Does not work in EasyMesh setup with other TP-Link products. Initial setup was easy and everything was seemingly up and running quickly with this added as another node in my network. However, within minutes the main router (GE800) began rebooting. I figured there must be a firmware update. Updated this extender, no updates for the main router, updated my other satellite (BE800) in the mesh network. Time to try again....same result. I went into the main router DHCP settings and reserved a specific IP for the extender thinking that maybe there was a conflict being created. Restarts all around and time to try again. Same result. I saw various online reports of similar issues when enabling MLO, MU-MIMO, and other settings. Tried everything. Same result - within minutes of connecting this extender to my network the main router reboots and continues to reboot over and over every few minutes. Now I have the extender unplugged and just taking up space as a paper weight. Without the extender as a new mesh node my network is very stable with no issues. I have had good luck with TP-Link products in the past, but this one misses the mark and doesn't feel like it was ready for release and doesn't play nice in existing networks. I'd avoid this one for now until new firmware is released that fixes the issues.

I am floored at how easy it was to set up this range extender to the tp-link AXE16000 router. All four bands popped on with virtually no effort. I pushed a button on the router and, within 2 minutes, pushed a button on the extender. That's all it took. It does take 30-60 seconds for it to fully link (so be a little patient and just wait for it), but that was nothing compared to the painful experiences I had with other extenders in other systems in the past. It is also nice that each of the four bands has it's own led indicator.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:this product has good reviews and ratings.

This get us service so much better than the last two products we tried.
