Description
Extend Wi-Fi 6 Coverage to Every Corner with AX3000 Speeds and OneMesh Roaming
The TP-Link RE705X is an AX3000 dual-band Wi-Fi 6 range extender that eliminates dead zones and extends fast, reliable Wi-Fi 6 coverage throughout your home. With combined speeds of up to 2976Mbps, 160MHz channel support on 5GHz, OFDMA, Beamforming, and TP-Link OneMesh compatibility for seamless whole-home roaming, it's a significant upgrade over Wi-Fi 5 extenders. A built-in Gigabit Ethernet port also allows it to function as a wireless access point, making it a versatile addition to any home network across Australia.
Key Features
-
AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Speeds: 2402Mbps on 5GHz and 574Mbps on 2.4GHz — 2.5× faster than Wi-Fi 5 extenders for smoother 4K streaming, gaming, and video conferencing in extended areas.
-
160MHz Channel Support (HE160): Doubles the channel width on 5GHz from the standard 80MHz to 160MHz, delivering significantly higher throughput for compatible Wi-Fi 6 devices.
-
TP-Link OneMesh Compatibility: Pairs with any OneMesh-compatible TP-Link router to create a seamless mesh network with a single Wi-Fi name — devices automatically roam to the strongest signal as you move through your home.
-
Gigabit Ethernet Port: Provides a wired Gigabit connection for smart TVs, gaming consoles, PCs, and NVRs in rooms where the extender is placed.
-
Access Point Mode: Connect an Ethernet cable to the Gigabit port and use the RE705X as a standalone wireless access point — adding Wi-Fi 6 coverage to any wired network without a separate AP.
-
OFDMA & MU-MIMO: Serves multiple devices simultaneously with greater efficiency — reducing congestion and improving performance in homes with many connected devices.
-
Beamforming: Focuses Wi-Fi signal towards connected devices rather than broadcasting in all directions — improving range and signal strength for individual devices.
-
Adaptive Path Selection: Automatically selects the fastest connection path between the extender and your router to maintain optimal performance.
-
4 High-Performance Amplifiers: Boosts signal strength to reach hard-to-cover areas including back bedrooms, garages, and outdoor entertaining areas.
-
Tether App Management: Set up and manage the extender from the free TP-Link Tether app on iOS or Android — including signal strength selection (3 levels) and network settings.
Common Use Cases
- Eliminating Wi-Fi dead zones in back bedrooms, garages, and outdoor areas
- Extending Wi-Fi 6 coverage in multi-storey homes where the router can't reach all floors
- Adding a wired Gigabit connection for a smart TV or gaming console in a room without a switch
- Creating a seamless OneMesh network with an existing TP-Link OneMesh router
- Access point mode for adding Wi-Fi 6 to a room with an existing Ethernet wall port

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the RE705X work with any router, or only TP-Link routers?
The RE705X works as a standard Wi-Fi range extender with any router brand — simply connect it to your existing Wi-Fi network during setup. OneMesh seamless roaming (single network name with automatic handoff) is only available when paired with a compatible TP-Link OneMesh router. With non-TP-Link routers, the extender creates a separate extended network name.
What is OneMesh and how is it different from a standard extender setup?
With a standard extender setup, the extended network has a different Wi-Fi name (e.g. “HomeWiFi_EXT”) and your devices don't automatically switch between the router and extender. OneMesh creates a single unified network name — your devices automatically connect to the strongest signal (router or extender) as you move through your home, without any manual switching.
What is the difference between Range Extender Mode and Access Point Mode?
In Range Extender Mode, the RE705X connects wirelessly to your existing router and rebroadcasts the signal to extend coverage. In Access Point Mode, you connect an Ethernet cable to the Gigabit port and the RE705X creates a new wireless network from that wired connection — useful when you have an Ethernet wall port in a room but no wireless coverage.
Does the Gigabit port work in both modes?
In Range Extender Mode, the Gigabit port provides a wired connection for a device (e.g. smart TV, gaming console) in the room where the extender is placed. In Access Point Mode, the Gigabit port is the WAN/uplink port that connects to your router or switch via Ethernet.
Will I get full AX3000 speeds through the extender?
Speeds through a range extender are typically lower than connecting directly to your router, as the extender uses part of its bandwidth to communicate with the router. The RE705X uses Adaptive Path Selection and 160MHz channels to maximise throughput, but for the best performance, place it within good range of your router and use the 5GHz band for high-bandwidth devices.
