Boosting range of wifi extender - is it possible?

Model: RE550  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

I am using an AC1900 MU-MIMO wifi range extender, known in the UK by the reference RE550. There is one device (an external EV charger) which receives only a weak signal from the extender and it is not possible to use a powerline to support the device and nor is it possible to move the extender closer to the device.

 

So is it possible to strengthen the wifi signal to the extender by using a powerline?

 

If not by using the AC1900, then perhaps by using another configuration of TP-Link devices?

Make sure that you've set your RE for maximum Wi-Fi coverage:

 

 

Apart from that the only way to extend your RE wireless coverage is to place it for optimal reception and preformance - details.

You can use a second RE to extend your wireless coverage - check this post.

You can use a powerline Wi-Fi extender (TL-WPA series) in combination with the RE to extend your wireless coverage as well.

  @terziyski Thank you so much for going to so much trouble with your solution. I have confirmed that the Re550 is set to maximum coverage and I will now work through the other elements of your suggestions. yes
