What this extender does
The TP-Link RE305 plugs into a wall socket and repeats an existing Wi-Fi signal, adding coverage in rooms where the router cannot reach. It suits homeowners and small offices that need a simple way to fill dead zones without running new cables.
Dual-band speed rating
The unit delivers up to 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band and 867 Mbps on the 5 GHz band for a combined AC1200 rating. Buyers whose devices or router only support single-band 2.4 GHz will not see the 5 GHz throughput.
Ethernet port and app control
A single 10/100M RJ45 port lets the extender work as a wired access point or connect a nearby desktop, smart TV or game console. The Tether mobile app handles setup, signal-location guidance and basic network management from a phone.

Questions about this item
What does the combined 1.2 Gbps speed mean when the extender is in use?
The 1.2 Gbps figure is the sum of the 5 GHz band at up to 867 Mbps and the 2.4 GHz band at up to 300 Mbps. Your device connects to one band at a time, so maximum single-link throughput is 867 Mbps on 5 GHz or 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz.
The Ethernet port is listed as 10/100M — what does that limit in practice?
The single RJ45 port negotiates at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps full duplex. Wired devices plugged into the extender cannot exceed 100 Mbps, even though the wireless side can reach 867 Mbps on 5 GHz.
How much space does the wall-plug design need beside a socket?
The unit measures 3.00 inches by 3.10 inches by 3.00 inches. It plugs directly into a mains outlet, so allow roughly a 3-inch cube of clearance so adjacent sockets or furniture do not block the antennas.
