Overview
- The TP-Link TL-WA855RE is a compact N300 Wi-Fi range extender that expands your existing wireless network to reach previously weak or unreliable areas. With dual external antennas and support for 802.11n, 802.11g, and 802.11b standards, it delivers up to 300Mbps of wireless performance suitable for general browsing, streaming, and everyday connectivity needs.
The extender works seamlessly with any Wi-Fi router, eliminating compatibility concerns. It supports both range extender mode to boost existing signals and AP mode to create a standalone access point. The included Tether app enables remote management from your mobile device, allowing you to monitor and adjust settings without physical access to the unit.
Features include WPS one-button setup, wireless MAC filtering, WPA2 security, and a standard 10/100M Ethernet port for wired connectivity. Its compact form factor and low 3.6W power consumption make it an unobtrusive addition to any space. TP-Link backs the TL-WA855RE with a 3-year Australian warranty.

FAQs
Will the TP-Link TL-WA855RE work with my existing router?
Yes. The TL-WA855RE is compatible with any Wi-Fi router that supports 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11n standards. It works as a range extender to boost your current network without requiring any changes to your existing setup.
What is the difference between Range Extender mode and AP mode?
Range Extender mode extends your existing Wi-Fi network to reach dead zones. AP mode creates an independent Wi-Fi access point using the wired Ethernet connection, allowing you to set up a separate network in another location.
Can I manage the range extender remotely?
Yes. The TP-Link Tether app allows you to remotely access and manage the extender from your mobile device, including monitoring status and adjusting settings.
How do I set up the TL-WA855RE?
Setup is simple using the one-button WPS feature. Press the WPS button on the extender and then on your router to establish a connection automatically. Manual configuration is also available via the Tether app or web interface.
Does the TL-WA855RE support dual-band Wi-Fi?
No. The TL-WA855RE operates on the 2.4 GHz band only and supports 802.11n, 802.11g, and 802.11b standards. For dual-band support, consider TP-Link's AC1200 or higher-spec models.
What is the power consumption of this extender?
The TL-WA855RE consumes just 3.6W of power, making it one of the most energy-efficient range extenders available. It includes a power schedule feature to further reduce energy use.
What wireless security options are available?
The extender supports WEP encryption (64/128/152-bit), WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK security protocols, allowing you to secure your extended network to match your existing router's security standard.
