TP-LINK TL-WA730RE 150Mbps wireless range extender is an easy-to-use wireless network extender that can easily expand the coverage of an existing wireless network. It works in default Range Extender Mode, acting as a "relay station" to pick up wireless signals from a network's base router or access point, and repeat the signal flawlessly to previously unreachable areas. It also features an auto-repeater function, connecting the unsecured network instantly at a push of the Range Extender Button on the device's exterior. Better still, it can not only get maximum performance with IEEE 802.11n products, but achieves full 54Mbps speed when linking with IEEE 802.11g products.
The TL-WA730RE is a 150Mbps wireless range extender that expands Wi‑Fi coverage by receiving signals from an existing router or access point and retransmitting them to hard‑to‑reach areas. It supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n standards and offers an auto‑repeater function that activates with a single press of the Range Extender button.
