BE3600 Wi-Fi 7 Range Extender

Highlights

Wi-Fi 7 — Wi-Fi Like Never Before

3.6 Gbps Dual-Band Wi-Fi

Multi-Link Operation (MLO) enables the RE225BE to transmit data with Wi-Fi 7 clients across the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands simultaneously, delivering faster Wi-Fi speeds than Wi-Fi 6/6E range extenders.

Higher Transmission Efficiency with 4K-QAM

4K-QAM packs 120% more data for higher speeds. Enjoy full access to 8K streaming and high-speed downloading.

Ultra Smooth Wi-Fi with 4× Lower Latency

4× lower latency than Wi-Fi 6/6E range extenders enables emerging applications like VR/AR, video conferencing, and online gaming to always run at top performance.

Higher Capacity for More Devices

Communicates with multiple devices via 4 streams and dual-band simultaneously. Combined with its powerful CPU, Wi-Fi 7 provides congestion-free signals to your laptop, TV, thermostat, and baby monitor.

Specifications are subject to change without notice. TP-Link is a trademark of TP-Link, or its affiliates. All brands and product names are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective holders. All rights reserved. Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Higher capacity is based on laboratory test data, which analyzed the connections of different devices on the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands simultaneously. These devices simulated a typical home scenario by running simultaneous applications in the same room that included 4K video, 1080p video, 720p video, file downloading, web browsing, IP cameras, and other IoT devices. Actual wireless data throughout, wireless coverage, and connected devices are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of internet service provider factors, network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors, including building materials, obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and client location. The 160 MHz bandwidth might not be available on the 5 GHz band in some regions/countries due to regulatory limits on the spectrum, hence the theoretical speeds may vary.

If the product may not be compatible with routers or gateways with firmware that has been altered, is based on open source programs, or is non-standard or outdated.

© Antennated Streaming is designed for devices that support the 802.11kHz standard.

Use of Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), Wi-Fi 8 (802.11ac), and features including Multi-Link Operation (MLO), 4K-QAM, Multi-RU, OFDMA, and MU-MIMO requires clients to also support the corresponding features.

*TP-Link EasyMesh-compatible products can network with other devices that use EasyMesh. Failed connections may be due to firmware conflicts of different vendors. The EasyMesh-compatible feature is still being developed on some models and will be supported in subsequent software updates. This product is compatible with standardized EasyMesh technology but has not obtained the Wi-Fi EasyMesh TM certification.

*On/Not management is available for TP-Link EasyMesh-compatible devices. This feature is not guaranteed for devices from other vendors.

***Wi-Fi generations represent the wireless standard IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be. All devices need to support 802.11 Wi-Fi protocols.

*Use of WPA3 requires clients to also support the corresponding feature.

*4+ Lower Latency refers to the latency improvement of Wi-Fi 7 range extenders compared to Wi-Fi 6 range extenders, based on laboratory test data. The test conditions had the same 5 GHz single-frequency wireless interference and tested the maximum latencies of Wi-Fi 7 clients (with MLD turned on) connecting to the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands of RE225BE (with MLD turned on) simultaneously and to the 5 GHz bands of a Wi-Fi 6 range extender (without the MLD function).

Actual network speed may be limited by the rate of the product's Ethernet WiMi or LAN port, the rate supported by the network cable, internet service provider factors, and other environmental conditions.

This range extender may not support all the mandatory features as ratified in the IEEE 802.11be specification.

Further software upgrades for feature availability may be required.
