TP-Link RE450 AC1750 Dual Band Wi-Fi Range Extender
The TP-Link RE450 AC1750 Dual Band Wi-Fi Range Extender is designed for mid-size to larger homes where dead zones prevent reliable internet access. It broadcasts on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands simultaneously through three adjustable external antennas, and supports TP-Link Mesh Technology so your whole home can share a single Wi-Fi name.
Why this product
Dual-band AC1750 for faster, flexible connections
It splits traffic across 2.4 GHz (450 Mbps) and 5 GHz (1300 Mbps) simultaneously, letting nearby devices use the faster band while further devices use the longer-range one.
Gigabit Ethernet port for wired devices
The single 10/100/1000M RJ-45 port delivers up to 1,000 Mbps — ten times the throughput of a standard Fast Ethernet port — so wired devices like gaming consoles or smart TVs get full-speed connectivity.
Three adjustable antennas extend coverage further
Three high-performance external antennas can be repositioned to direct signal toward the areas of your home that need it most.
Intelligent signal light guides placement
An onboard LED indicator shows signal strength in real time, helping you find the optimal spot to plug it in without guesswork.
Mesh-ready with a single Wi-Fi name
TP-Link Mesh Technology lets it join a mesh network so you roam between rooms without manually switching networks.
Managed from your phone via TP-Link Tether
Setup, monitoring and control are all handled through the TP-Link Tether app on Android or iOS — no browser login required.

- Works with any Wi-Fi router or wireless access point as a standard range extender.
- Supports IEEE 802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.11g and 802.11b devices.
- Managed via TP-Link Tether app on Android and iOS smartphones.
- Can also operate in AP Mode to add Wi-Fi capability to a wired network.
- May not be compatible with routers whose firmware has been altered, is open-source based, non-standard or outdated — verify your router firmware before purchasing.
- Does not include a USB port; it cannot function as a USB sharing hub.
Best for
- Dead-zone elimination in mid-size or larger homes — it is specifically designed to fill rooms where the main router signal doesn't reach.
- Wired devices needing Gigabit speed — the 1,000 Mbps Ethernet port suits gaming consoles, smart TVs or desktop PCs that benefit from a stable, high-speed wired link.
- Users who want a single roaming network — TP-Link Mesh Technology means it integrates into a unified Wi-Fi name rather than creating a separate SSID to manage.
- App-first households — those comfortable managing their network from a phone will find the TP-Link Tether app covers full setup and ongoing control.
- Users adding Wi-Fi to a wired network — AP Mode lets it create a new wireless access point from an existing Ethernet connection.
Trade-offs
- USB device sharing — it has no USB port, so it cannot share printers, storage or other USB peripherals over the network.
- Routers with modified or open-source firmware — vendor documentation explicitly states compatibility is not guaranteed with DD-WRT, OpenWrt or similarly altered firmware.
- High-temperature environments — its rated operating range tops out at 30°C (86°F), making it unsuitable for unconditioned spaces like garages or lofts in warm climates.
- Users needing more than one Ethernet port — only a single RJ-45 port is provided, so connecting multiple wired devices would require an additional switch.
If there's a room where you can't connect to the internet in your mid-size or bigger home, RE450 eliminates these dead zones. With three high-performance antennas, your WiFi transmits farther with stronger signals. RE450's two bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) also enable more reliable device connections. With TP-Link Mesh Technology, it's easy to form a Mesh network with a single Wi-Fi name for seamless whole home coverage. Always enjoy the strongest Wi-Fi when you're walking around with no need to search around for a stable connection.
For more coverage in other areas of your home, simply plug in RE450 for fast and stable WiFi. Equipped with 3 chipsets, RE450 provides high-speed data flow to your phone and laptop.
RE 450's Gigabit Ethernet port supports data transmissions up to 1,000 Mbps, which is 10× faster than a fast Ethernet port (100 Mbps). This lets you enjoy peak performance for wired devices that need a constant stream of Gigabit internet.
Once connected with an existing router, you can take RE450 anywhere within the wireless range of the existing router, no more further configurations. Find the best spot to extend your WiFi with just a glance. Set up and manage your WiFi through the TP-Link Tether app from your phone (Android, iOS), including TP-Link routers and range extenders.
Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of 1) environmental factors, including building materials, physical objects, and obstacles, 2) network conditions, including local interference, volume and density of traffic, product location, network complexity, and network overhead, and 3) client limitations, including rated performance, location, connection quality, and client condition. The product may not be compatible with routers or gateways with firmware that has been altered, is based on open source programs, or is non-standard or outdated.
