Common questions
Questions before you buy
Can I plug a gaming console into a WiFi extender?
If the extender has an Ethernet port that supports client connections, you can connect a wired device. The extender’s own link to the router may still be wireless.
Does Ethernet on an extender reduce gaming lag?
It can remove the console’s local WiFi hop, but the extender’s wireless backhaul and internet route remain. The result depends on the whole setup.
What Ethernet speed should a gaming extender have?
Check the port specification against your devices and network. A Gigabit Ethernet port is listed for TP-Link RE605X; product capabilities differ.
Should I use access point mode for gaming?
Access point mode can use Ethernet to connect back to the router when supported and wired. That changes the network path, but installation requires a cable.
