Review: BEAUTIFUL AND POWERFUL WIFI EXTENDER FOR MY LINKSYS WRT 3200ACM - FLAWLESS SO FAR! - Honestly, I have only had the TP-Link AC2600 WiFi Extender(RE650) for about 2 weeks. But it performs awesome - solid signals on both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Extremely easy to setup, just use the WPS or Log Directly into it. I did both methods just to see how it would go, as I generally never use the WPS (EASY METHOD) of adding devices to my router, I had to go ahead and try it. Went so easy, so easy. But being a bit of a computer, networking nut, I still like doing things the direct hands on way, so directly logged in, very easy to navigate, changed that default security password jazz - DO THIS or anyone who sees these devices or any hooked to your system, will straight off try to log in to them and either hack you or just lock you out. Not to scare anyone, just keep that in mind with ANY electronic devices hooked to your network. Save yourself the heartache. That said, it's so easy to do or have a family member help you, but it is really very easy. read and follow the easy directions and you should not have any problem. My LinkSys Router used to (2yrs ago) delivered a 5 BAR signal to everywhere on my property (about 1/2 acre) but my house is only about 1850 sq-ft. Router sits in the farthest room from screened back porch. As I said, 2 yrs ago the signal was 5 BARS everywhere maybe occasionally at the farthest corner of the property I might dip to 3 but then zoom back up to 5 within seconds. That was 2 yrs ago, more homes have been built, more cell towers etc. So for the last 12 - 15 months, that great signal dropped to 5 BARS occasionally with 2 mostly or completely dropping signal altogether. That's some Big League Taboo nowadays, so that leads me to my purchase of the TP-Link AC2600 WiFi Extender(RE650) - Plugged it in at the opposite end of the house - In the Laundry Room. No problems. Solid Signal on both bands - never drops at all, not even a flicker. Fast transfer speeds, I upload / download photos and graphics to and from my place of work. No hick-ups, no more dropouts, just a solid enjoyable signal. Watch HD and some 4k videos over it without a bit of trouble. This device is top shelf in my opinion. You can set timers for when it shuts off and wakes up (when nobody's home) and can even set the led lights to always on, always off, or at a sleep/wake time. Yeah you can get cheaper, but that's generally a gamble with finding a diamond, usually you get what you pay for. Who needs that headache to save 25 or 50 bucks. Not saying saving some money is a bad thing, I like money too, work hard for it, so throwing it away is not something I do either, but if your internet and network traffic is important to you - why skimp. There may be better too, really just depends on how you use it. If you're a real Rockefeller Type, go for whatever fits your need. I just needed my strong signal and network/internet transmission speeds back to STELLAR. And STELLAR is what this 58 yr old kid got with this TP-Link WIFI Extender. Oh, and it comes with an Ethernet port built into it for direct configuring or getting even more speed out of it. I only used it for the direct login to the device and to upload a new update. That was easy peasy too. Oh, and it has 4 swing up antennas on it. Really nice device, just place it and forget it. Sorry for such a long winded review, but it is an honest one. Like I said, I have only had it for maybe 2-3 weeks, more 2 weeks. Will definitely update if anything happens to change it. FOR NOW IT'S AWESOME AND 5 STARS. Hope this was helpful people. Thanks TP-LINK. Very well done.
Review: AC2600 Worth Every Cent! (Long review: How Ring.com devices connected best for me.) - After several hours of researching and reading reviews on WiFi extenders, I decided to purchase the TP-Link AC2600 ... (RE650). It was the more expensive of the 2 models I had narrowed my choice to, but as I said, IT IS WORTH EVERY CENT! One of the main reasons I decided on this model was a reviewer who stated the AC2600 Extender resolved the problem they were having with their Ring.com Floodlight Cam installed on their garage which would freeze or stop working due to the long distance between their home WiFi network and the Cam. This described the EXACT PROBLEM I was having. The clincher was my husband's constant complaints that his phone wouldn't connect to the Cam --- I had to find a solution! Users have 2 options for installing the AC2600: the easier and recommended option is to use the WPS button, or the other to configure installation through the web browser if host router doesn't have a WPS button. I am adding this to my review because it took several attempts to connect the AC2600 to my dual band router using the WPS button; honestly I did not want to go through the configuration process, so I persisted. The AC2600 connected to the 5GHz band on the first attempt, but connecting to the 2.4GHz band took maybe 4 attempts; still worth 5-star rating in my opinion because I didn't have to go through the web configuration process. (Note: the recommended option is "Option Two" on the Quick Installation Guide.) After successful installation, I relocated the AC2600 to my trouble spot. The Ring.com app has a feature to check your WiFi download and upload speeds. I compared the speeds BEFORE and AFTER installing the AC2600 Extender. BEFORE: Download = 0.94 Mbps, Upload = 0.22 Mbps AFTER: Download = 26.68 Mbps, Upload = 16.48 Mbps This alone merits a 5-star rating! However, the connection from the AC2600 to my Ring devices failed the next evening. The following is relative context for Ring users interested in this AC2600 Extender. We have 3 Ring.com devices: 1) Video Doorbell 2) Floodlight Cam, both these devices connect to my WiFi through 3) Chime Pro WiFi extender (which proved to be a weak extender for my home; luckily Ring sent it to me free of charge). Before installing the AC2600 to my WiFi network, I took the Chime Pro offline by unplugging it from the outlet. After the AC2600 was successfully installed, I then reconnected the Chime Pro to my WiFi network: all 3 Ring devices came back online, and worked exceptionally well. But as mentioned earlier the connection failed the next evening. I was able to reconnect the Chime Pro to the AC2600, but the next morning discovered it was offline once again. This time I decided to reinstall the AC2600 through the web browser configuration process so I could give the extended network an identifiable name to ensure I reconnected the Chime Pro to the AC2600. I was happy to discover that the configuration process was not bad, the set up wizard was user-friendly, I just made sure to read each step carefully since I have a dual band router. When I got to the step of naming the extended bands I just added "_Extended" to each SSID. The password is the same as host router. I connected the Chime Pro this time to the "Name2.4_Extended": all 3 Ring devices came online and worked exceptionally well. However, that evening the Chime Pro was offline once again. Though extremely frustrated, I concluded that the problem was not with the AC2600 because the speed test were excellent while the devices were online. I also have other WiFi enabled devices throughout my home and all those were working fine or better since I installed the AC2600. After speaking with Ring.com technical support, they suggested I take the Chime Pro out of the equation and connect directly to the AC2600 Extender. I was reluctant to do this because a) the Chime Pro provides it's own alerts for detected motions, and b) to set up the video doorbell to the extended network meant taking it out of the mount it was screwed and clipped to. So I began with the Floodlight Cam which was easier. After putting it on set-up mode, I connected the Floodlight to the "... 2.4_Extended." Once online, the Floodlight worked exceptionally well. While in the Ring app I noticed that the Video Doorbell was also online; I had forgotten to unplug the Chime Pro which was also back online and connected to the 2.4 extended band. I checked that the doorbell's functionality was excellent so I left well enough alone. It has been 4 days and I've had zero issues with my 3 Ring devices and all other devices that use WiFi in our home. I'm even getting Chime Pro motion alerts from the Floodlight Cam --- not sure why but I'm not complaining. Speaking of complaints, haven't told dear hubby what I paid for the AC2600, LOL ;-) But like I said, it's worth every cent!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by G***L on July 18, 2025*

I recently added the TP-Link AC2600 RE650 WiFi Extender to my home network, and wow—what a difference! The dual-band support and 4x4 MU-MIMO technology delivered blazing-fast speeds and rock-solid connections even in rooms that used to get spotty WiFi. My laptop streams HD videos flawlessly, and video calls are smooth with zero lag. The extender was super easy to set up using the Tether app—it guided me through placement to get the best signal. I’ve been using the Gigabit Ethernet port to hardwire my smart TV, and it’s perfect for buffering-free streaming. Switching to Access Point mode was just a click away, and now my guest network runs seamlessly from there. It’s sleek but powerful, doesn’t take up much space, and stays cool even under heavy use. If you're struggling with WiFi dead zones or want to boost your home network, this extender is worth every penny. A smart, reliable upgrade that really works!
