Smart connectivity
There's one thing that every single smart home device has in common: it needs internet connectivity to function. If you have areas of your home with spotty Wi-Fi, that means your smart home devices aren't going to work as well — if they even work at all. The TP-Link RE105 Wi-Fi range extender is the updated version of TP-Link's best-selling model ever and has several key performance upgrades. It also operates specifically on the 2.4GHz frequency, which is what all smart home devices use. For $19.99, you really can't go wrong!
This is the key info you should know:
- Two external antennas boost Wi-Fi coverage and MIMO technology extends range much further than comparable standard Wi-Fi extenders
- Compatible with any Wi-Fi router you already have
- Extend your existing wireless network or use AP mode to create a new Wi-Fi access point
- Built-in Ethernet port lets you connect a computer, video game console, or smart TV device using a standard Ethernet cable
