There's no software required to install with the RE305, and itвЂ™s very quick to set up. It's a bit awkward to hang an Ethernet cord from the extender depending on where you've placed it in your home, but it's a useful addition to bring Ethernet to a desktop, TV, or gaming console without having to put holes in your wall. There's an Ethernet port at the bottom of the device as well as a pinhole reset button, just in case it needs rebooted at any point.

The RE305 is quite small and unobtrusive, with a plastic white exterior and silver accents thatвЂ™s meant to blend in, not stand out.

One important thing to note is that the RE305 will not take up an entire electrical outlet if placed on the lower plug, but utilizing the upper plug will mean your antennas will block the other outlet. It could be easily mistaken for one of TP-Link's smart plugs since both are similar in size. Both sides of the device feature plenty of ventilation as well, in case it starts running warm, though that was never an issue when we put it through its paces. The two wireless antennas on either side of the unit can be adjusted to your needs, and the WPS button on the top of the device has a nice, hearty click to it when you press it. That means it's simple to plug into a spare outlet anywhere your wireless signal needs bolstering. At just 3.1 x 3.1 x 2.4 (LWH) inches unboxed and 6.4 ounces, it's one of the most diminutive Wi-Fi solutions on the market. We spent over a week testing it in our home, evaluating design, ease of setup and network performance. The TP-Link AC1200 Wi-Fi Range Extender RE305 is a value-priced, no-frills extender that promises quick setup, a low-key design, and typically smooth connectivity at a great price. By using them to 'piggyback' onto an existing wireless connection, you can extend a wireless signal to areas in your home previously bereft of Wi-Fi. That's where wireless range extenders come in. If you live in a larger house or even an apartment where a central router is too far from your dwelling, you may experience poor connectivity issues or even dead zones where connect to the internet.
