TP-LINK BE3600 RE235BE - Range Extender, White

The TP-Link BE3600 (RE235BE) is a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 range extender designed to eliminate wireless dead zones by extending your existing network coverage. The device works by receiving and re-transmitting your wireless signal. It supports the Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) standard, reaching a theoretical combined data transfer rate of 3600 Mbps. Its dual-band architecture uses 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies to manage traffic across different device types. The unit remains backward compatible with older standards, such as 802.11ax and 802.11ac, ensuring consistent performance for high-definition streaming and online gaming.

A 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port allows for a high-bandwidth device bridge or a wired backhaul connection. A physical WPS button enables synchronization with your router without the need for complex software configuration. This wall-mounted unit plugs directly into a standard electrical socket to save space. The exterior features a white finish and two external antennas. It is compatible with major operating systems, including Windows and macOS. Support for EasyMesh allows the unit to integrate with compatible routers for a unified network.

• Theoretical data transfer rates of 2882 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 688 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band for high-resolution media and background tasks.
• Multi-Link Operation (MLO) — uses multiple bands simultaneously to improve reliability and reduce congestion.
• 4K-QAM modulation — increases the amount of data carried in each wireless signal for more efficient transmission.
• MU-MIMO and Beamforming — supports multiple simultaneous connections and directs signals toward active devices.
• WPA3 security — uses current encryption standards to safeguard wireless data against unauthorised access.
• Quality of Service (QoS) — prioritises specific network traffic to maintain performance for critical applications.
• Web-based management — provides access to configuration settings and firmware updates through a standard internet browser.
