Next-Gen AC Wi-Fi for UK Homes

The RE450 uses 802.11ac Wi-Fi 5 technology, delivering speeds three times faster than older 802.11n extenders. This means smoother 4K streaming on your smart TV, lag-free gaming on consoles, and reliable video calls even when multiple devices are connected. The dual-band design automatically selects the best frequency for your device, reducing congestion and interference common in busy UK households.

Gigabit Ethernet for Wired Devices

One Gigabit Ethernet port transforms this extender into a wireless bridge. Connect your wired devices like gaming consoles, smart TVs, or desktop PCs to your Wi-Fi network without running new cables. The 10/100/1000 Mbit/s capability ensures these devices get the fastest possible connection speed.

Installation takes minutes with the RE button and WPS compatibility. Press the RE button on the extender, then the WPS button on your router (if available), and you’re connected. The RE450 works with any standard wireless router, making it compatible with major UK ISPs like BT, Virgin Media, Sky, and TalkTalk.
