AC1200 Dual Band WiFi Range Extenders

AC1200 is a combined speed class for two Wi-Fi bands, not guaranteed internet speed. Compare modes and exact model revisions.

An AC1200 dual band WiFi range extender uses both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless. The class name describes theoretical combined link rates, not guaranteed internet throughput. Walls, interference, router capability and client devices affect performance. TP-Link RE305 is an Australian-market example; verify each NETGEAR EX model on its own support page.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

Does AC1200 mean 1,200 Mbps internet?

No. It is a theoretical combined WiFi link-rate class, not guaranteed internet throughput.

What does dual band mean?

The extender can use both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Each band has different reach and capacity characteristics.

Can an AC1200 extender work with another router brand?

TP-Link says RE305 works with WiFi routers or access points generally. OneMesh requires a compatible TP-Link router.

Should I use extender or access-point mode?

Extender mode links wirelessly. Access-point mode uses Ethernet, which can provide a steadier backhaul where cabling is possible.
