Slim Specs Table

Dual-Band Speed with HE160

This extender uses the 5 GHz band for high-throughput tasks. It supports 2×2 160MHz channel width (HE160). This doubles the channel speed compared to standard 80MHz. It is ideal for 4K streaming and gaming. The 2.4 GHz band provides broader coverage for everyday devices. Always confirm your client devices support 160MHz on 5 GHz to achieve maximum speed.

Whole-Home Mesh with EasyMesh

You can create a unified mesh network using EasyMesh-compatible routers and extenders. If you have dead zones, simply add another compatible device. This eliminates the need to switch networks as you move around your home. The system automatically manages connections for the best performance. Note that EasyMesh functionality requires compatible TP-Link or partner devices.

Access Point Mode via Ethernet

The RE705X is more than a simple extender. It features a built-in Access Point mode. You can plug a standard Ethernet cable into its LAN port. This converts your wired internet connection into a dual-band wireless access point. This is useful for areas where your router cannot reach, but an Ethernet cable can.

4 High-Performance Amplifiers

Four external amplifiers boost signal strength. They help cover hard-to-reach corners of your home. This supports stable 4K streaming and gaming in any room. The device directs signals toward connected devices using Beamforming technology. This improves connection reliability for phones and laptops.
