About this deal
Simply plug a booster in where the wireless signal is weak and it’ll take the wireless signal from the Hub, boost it, and retransmit the signal out to all your wireless devices, increasing the range. Because these tests simulated real-world traffic, we believe that they model everyday performance results more effectively compared with testing tools like Iperf, which simply move data from one machine to another as fast as possible. While the design looks rather plasticky, it’s pleasingly slim, sticking out just 37mm from the wall, so you shouldn’t trip over it as you walk past.
If you’ve got a different circuit on different floors of your house, for example, you'll need a different solution.
We found that it delivers on Wi-Fi performance as well, helping the Wi-Fi speed in the less accessible part of our space jump up to a healthy range. A Wi-Fi booster or extender increases the wireless range of your current router, and means you can enjoy internet connectivity in the furthest reaches of your home.
Pods also use cloud technology to learn how you use Wi-Fi, so your experience is always tailored to your needs. A cheaper alternative to the RE715X, the RE603X (currently sold at Costco) offers similar capabilities, though a lower maximum throughput. It’s very easy to use as well, with setup managed by the superb TP-Link Tether mobile app, which provides access to all the settings you might need.This means it's an excellent addition to a network in a larger home that mostly uses older devices also lacking Wi-Fi 6 support.
