Eliminate Wi-Fi Dead Zones
Weak Wi-Fi can make some rooms difficult to use for streaming, working, gaming or browsing.
The RE305 receives your existing router's wireless signal and extends it into areas that the router may not adequately cover, helping provide broader Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home or office.
Ideal placement areas include:
- Bedrooms
- Upstairs rooms
- Home offices
- Living rooms
- Shops
- Small offices
- Guest rooms
- Areas far from the main router
Intelligent Signal Light
Finding the right location for a range extender is important.
The RE305 features an intelligent signal indicator that helps you determine whether the extender has a good connection to your router.
- Blue: Good connection
- Red: Extender is too far from the router
This makes positioning the device easier for better coverage.
Two External Antennas
The RE305 uses two external antennas to help extend wireless coverage and maintain a reliable connection between your router and connected devices.
TP-Link OneMesh Support
Compatible RE305 hardware can work with a supported TP-Link OneMesh router to create a unified mesh network.
With compatible OneMesh equipment, you can benefit from:
- One Wi-Fi network name
- Smoother roaming around the home
- Centralized management through Tether
- Easier whole-home Wi-Fi expansion
Note: OneMesh functionality depends on the RE305 hardware/firmware version and the TP-Link router being used.
Access Point Mode
The RE305 can also work as an Access Point.
Simply connect it to your wired network using the Ethernet port to create dual-band Wi-Fi from your existing wired internet connection.

You can use the app to:
- Set up the extender
- Manage wireless settings
- Check network information
- Control compatible TP-Link networking devices
