Overall, the TP-Link RE605X is a solid all-around option. So if you have the Xfinity gateway and don’t want different networks, consider one of the Netgear extenders instead. (It will not have separate networks if you use Ethernet to connect to the router). Meaning you have to connect to it manually if you move around at home. The biggest drawback with the RE605X is that if you don’t have a TP-Link router with OneMesh, it will have separate networks. We were up and running in less than 60 seconds.Įven though it wasn’t our first time setting up an extender ( not. The setup was also insanely simple, just connect to its Wi-Fi, start the Tether app, and follow the instructions. And this has certainly improved its performance compared to if it is connected to a weaker router. I will, however, mention that we tested the extender with a very strong router (ASUS RT-AX88U). This makes it able to provide coverage to an entire floor. We estimate that it should be able to reach about 60 feet. Having a strong signal everywhere we measured it. Range-wise, the RE605X also performed excellently. Which is enough to download most things in minutes. Its speed nearly doubled when connecting it to the router using Ethernet, reaching 674.53 Mbps from 5 feet.
