Asked 3 years ago by Jc101.

• A:Answer Hi! If you need additional coverage - more than a single extender can offer - adding a second extender can help provide further reach. Please note that we do not recommend chaining more than two extenders in sequence as it may significantly impact throughput.

Q: QuestionI recently bought this router and set it up with all my devices. I noticed the front face is very hot to the touch. Not burning my hand off or anything but noticeably hot. Is this normal?

Asked 1 year ago by Candice.

• A:Answer Hi! While it is normal for the TP-Link RE605X Wi-Fi 6 Range Extender to run relatively warm while in use, it should not be excessively hot to the touch. We recommend trying another power outlet and ensuring the extender is in a location with adequate ventilation. Our support team is always happy to help answer any questions about our products.

Q: QuestionHow far will this extend the signal? I'm needing about 250ft

Asked 1 year ago by Eddie.

• A:Answer Yes it does but limited by obstructions. I have no idea how far it will extend the signal and my router is 50 ft and one floor from the TP Link device. I tried it in a few locations but only sightly better Wi-Fi signal to my PC. I ended up putting it close enough to connect it directly with an Ethernet cable and there was a huge improvement in download speeds but very little for upload.

Q: QuestionCan I use this model with a Starlink system tried the 3000 model and could not get it to pair up or let me access it thru Tether

Asked 1 year ago by FredrF.

• A:Answer TP-Link Wi-Fi Extenders are universally compatible with Wi-Fi routers, so it should work just fine. If you are encountering connecting the extender to your router, we recommend setting up the device in the same room as your router, then relocating it after setup is complete. We also suggest re-verifying your router's Wi-Fi password during setup, or if using the WPS setup method, ensuring the WPS process is performed in the correct order. The extender's indicator LEDs will help you determine which position in your home is ideal. We also highly recommend ensuring the extender's firmware is fully up to date using the steps outlined in FAQ 1406 on our official website: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1406/ If you would like assistance with any of these steps, please reach out to our free support team using any of the resources included with the product, or from our official website, and we'll gladly have a Support Agent follow up with you directly.
