TP-Link TL-WA855RE 300Mbps Wi-Fi Range Extender

TP-Link 300Mbps Wi-Fi Range Extender (TL-WA855RE) - 3 Years Local Warranty

The TL-WA855RE is the smallest extender TP-Link makes for this range: a 52 x 34 x 65 mm body with two external antennas, 2.4 GHz at up to 300 Mbps, a 10/100 Ethernet port and about 3 W of draw. An RJ-45 cable is included, and it is the least obtrusive way to fix one weak 2.4 GHz room.

Tiny Body, Aimable Antennas

At 52 x 34 x 65 mm this is a genuinely small unit — less than half the footprint of the TL-WA850RE — yet TP-Link fits two external antennas to it. That combination is unusual: most extenders this small go internal. Being able to angle the antennas toward the router is worth a few minutes once the socket is chosen.

Single-Band 2.4 GHz Up to 300 Mbps

The TL-WA855RE covers 2.4 to 2.4835 GHz with published rates of up to 300 Mbps on 802.11n, 54 Mbps on 802.11g and 11 Mbps on 802.11b. It does not extend a 5 GHz network. For older laptops, printers, cameras and smart-home devices that all sit on 2.4 GHz anyway, that is not the limitation it sounds.

A Wired Port and an Included Cable

One 10/100 Mbps RJ45 port lets a smart TV, set-top box or desktop in the extended room join by cable rather than over the air, and TP-Link includes an RJ-45 Ethernet cable in the box. Maximum consumption is about 3 W from a 100-240 V outlet, so it can be left permanently plugged in.

Straightforward Controls and Security

The unit has an RE (Range Extender) button and a Reset button. Published wireless functions are wireless MAC address filtering, a domain login function and transmit power control. Wireless security covers 64/128/152-bit WEP and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, with transmission power under 20 dBm EIRP.

Ideal For

Singapore flats, rental rooms and small offices that need a discreet 2.4 GHz extender in a crowded socket, and low-cost deployments where the extended devices are 2.4 GHz anyway. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty and GST invoice.
