The TP-link extender RE550 you already have can be used to improve the whole home’s Wi-Fi. A single router has very little Wi-Fi coverage and always has dead zones. Connecting to your existing router wirelessly with the TP-link RE550 setup process expands the Wi-Fi signal to places it can’t reach on its own. This is how it works: Enjoy having a stable network experience at home, even if you’re away from home. It uses one dedicated wifi band as backhaul and another dedicated wifi band in order to get the most out of the extra wifi.
