  • Bands: 2.4 GHz (up to 800 Mbit/s) and 5 GHz (up to 1733 Mbit/s)
  • Ports: 1 × RJ-45, 10/100/1000 Mbit/s; no USB
  • Antennas: 4 × external, MU-MIMO
  • PoE: no

Description

Four antennas and MU-MIMO for busy homes

Up to 1733 Mbit/s on 5 GHz means the extender does not become a bottleneck behind a fast router, even when someone is streaming 4K video in a distant room. MU-MIMO lets it serve several devices at the same time rather than taking turns, which shows in a home where phones, laptops and the TV are all online together. The four external antennas can be angled for the best signal, and the Gigabit port suits a wired TV or console.

Who this range extender is for

Larger flats and houses where a fast router's signal does not reach everywhere; families with many devices online at once; and anyone who wants both Wi-Fi and a wired connection in a far room without installing a new router.

Questions & answers

What does AC2600 mean?

It is the combined Wi-Fi speed of both bands: up to 800 Mbit/s on 2.4 GHz and up to 1733 Mbit/s on 5 GHz. Real speed depends on the router, distance and client device.

Can I connect a wired device to the extender?

Yes, there is one Gigabit RJ-45 port (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) for a TV, games console or desktop computer. There is no USB port.

Does the RE650 support mesh?

The manufacturer does not specify mesh support. What is listed is MU-MIMO and dual-band operation to the 802.11ac standard.
