Frequently Asked Questions
Does the RE315 work with any Wi-Fi router?
Yes. The RE315 is universally compatible and works as a range extender with any Wi-Fi router or gateway, regardless of brand. OneMesh functionality is only available when paired with a compatible TP-Link OneMesh router.
What is OneMesh and do I need it?
OneMesh is TP-Link’s mesh technology that allows the RE315 and a compatible TP-Link router to share the same network name (SSID) and password. Your devices roam automatically between the router and extender without you needing to manually switch networks. It is optional but recommended for the best experience.
Where should I place the RE315 for best results?
Place the RE315 roughly halfway between your router and the area with poor Wi-Fi coverage. The built-in signal indicator light will help you confirm you’ve found a location with a strong enough signal from your router to extend effectively.
Can I connect a wired device to the RE315?
Yes. The RE315 includes one Gigabit Ethernet port, allowing you to connect a smart TV, gaming console, set-top box, or other wired device directly to the extender.
Can the RE315 be used as an access point?
Yes. When connected to a router via the Ethernet port, the RE315 can be configured in Access Point mode to provide wireless coverage in areas with existing wired infrastructure.
How do I set up the RE315?
Setup takes just a few minutes using the TP-Link Tether app on your smartphone, or via a web browser at tplinkrepeater.net. The RE315 also supports WPS one-button setup with compatible routers.
