Versus WiFi Boosters: Surprising Insight On TP-Link AX1500... Covered range, dual bands tested

Excerpt: In our test of the TP-Link AX1500 WiFi Extender, we found that its advertised 1,500 sq.ft. coverage holds up well in open spaces, though some dense obstacles reduced our actual range. Dual-band performance was impressive, delivering stable speeds even as we connected 25 devices. The AP mode with its gigabit port added versatility, allowing us to bridge networks seamlessly. We appreciated the OneMesh compatibility, which integrated smoothly with our existing TP-Link devices. The app setup was straightforward, eliminating the frustration of complex menus. While we noticed a slight drop in performance under heavy load, the extender remains a reliable solution for larger homes. Surprisingly, its dual-band capability more than compensated for the typical pitfalls of range extenders, making it a standout choice in our assessment.
