Overview
The TP-Link RE315 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 5 range extender designed as a budget option for extending existing Wi-Fi coverage. It has a single 100 Mbps Ethernet port and supports EasyMesh for compatible router setups.
Who it suits
This extender is suited to users with a basic dual-band Wi-Fi 5 network who want to extend coverage to a nearby area without a large budget. It may also suit those wanting to add a wired device via its single Ethernet port, though at limited speed.
Reasons to consider it
It supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands and can work as either a range extender or access point, giving some flexibility in setup. EasyMesh support allows it to work with other EasyMesh-compatible routers, and its low power draw (max 9.5 W) keeps running costs minimal.
Limitations and compatibility checks
There is no 6 GHz band, so it is built on older Wi-Fi 5 standards rather than Wi-Fi 6 or 6E. The single Ethernet port is capped at 100 Mbps, which limits wired device speeds, and there is no wired backhaul option, no USB port, and no PoE support.
