While, increasing the distance by 20 feet, had speeds clocking at 168 Mbps and 12 Mbps, respectively. The download speed clocked at 203 Mbps, while the upload speed was at 17 Mbps when the laptop was kept 40 feet away.

To test how it performs in real life, I kept the setup the same, except for the laptop, which was connected through WiFi. Plus, the extender’s AP mode involves a connection with the router via an ethernet port and dissipates strong signals everywhere.Īside from its excellent wired capabilities, TP-Link RE715X with a Wi-Fi 6 standard, bestows a massive throughput capacity of 3000 Mbps, which is distributed over its two bands as follows: 5 GHz: 2402 Mbps Thus, gaming on PS5 was a walk in the park. I paired it with my staple TP-Link Archer AXE75 (one of the top WiFi 6e routers), and a Cox Gigablast plan, and measured wired download and upload speeds on my Dell XPS laptop.Īs a result, the values carried out were 347 Mbps and 21 Mbps for download and upload, respectively. There is only one ethernet port but it entails multi-functionality like wired backhaul, AP mode, and others for increased convenience.īesides, compared to its predecessor, it has got multiple upgrades in terms of device-handling capacity, speeds, and in turn overall performance.Īs mentioned earlier, RE715X has got a single Ethernet port with a max speed output of 1 Gbps.

TP-Link takes the top spot with RE715X’s excellent performance, ability to link up with a mesh network, and multi-device handling without breaking down the signals.
