Overview

 

Boosted Wi-Fi
Coverage and Speed
for the Whole Home

AC1900 Wi-Fi Range Extender
RE500

AC1900 Dual-band Speed for Everyone Simultaneously

Running up to 3x faster than traditional
AC range extenders, the RE500 uses 3×3
MU-MIMO technology to serve up to three
devices at once, reducing wait time and
boosting Wi-Fi throughput for every device.

3-Stream technology helps reach maximum
speeds of up to 600Mbps on 2.4GHz and
1300Mbps on 5GHz, supporting your most
demanding online activities, including
simultaneous 4K streaming and lag-free
gaming.

Super-Fast Dual Band
Wi-Fi Extension 

With four external dual band antennas, the RE500 establishes a stable wireless connection to any Wi-Fi router and boosts the WiFi coverage to the area you want.

Beamforming adds strength to the coverage by detecting the location of devices and concentrating Wi-Fi towards them for targeted connections.

Find the Best Spot with Intelligent Signal Indicator

The Intelligent Signal Light helps you quickly
find the best location to install the RE500.

    Good connection

  • Red

    Too far away from the router

 
 

Drop-Free, Seamless
Dual Band Connections

If one of the main router's dual bands drops suddenly, or in case the main router can only deliver single band, the RE500 still provides stable dual-band connections, allowing you to enjoy stable and drop-free experience on all your devices.

*Maximum wireless transmission rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Range and coverage specifications along with the number of connected devices were defined according to test results under normal usage conditions. Actual wireless transmission rate, wireless coverage, and number of connected devices are not guaranteed, and will vary as a result of 1) environmental factors, including building materials, physical objects and obstacles, 2) network conditions, including local interference, volume and density of traffic, product location, network complexity, and network overhead and 3) client limitations, including rated performance, location, connection quality, and client condition.

 

**MU-MIMO capability requires client devices that also support MU-MIMO.
