If your Wi-Fi 6 router is having trouble delivering strong wireless signals to the far corners of your home, and you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a Wi-Fi mesh system, a range extender could be just what you need. I'm the editor responsible for Wi-Fi networking reviews here at PCMag. I know that range extenders can be finicky, but I also know what makes a good one. And I'm here to tell you that this Prime Day deal on the TP-Link RE600X AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 Range Extender is one of the best deals I've seen. Sometimes, a pretty good product gets made great by a big discount. This is one of those times.
Easy to install, this large dual-band extender simply plugs into a wall outlet and connects to your existing router. Normally priced at $99.99, it offers a fairly inexpensive way to boost Wi-Fi coverage without having to invest in a new router or mesh system. But right now, for Prime Day, it's a snap-it-up steal at just $39.99.

In our review of the RE600X, we noted that this range extender has good throughput performance and fast, easy setup. In our signal strength test, the RE600X did a good job of providing strong 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi signals to the den, living room, and garage (the target areas in our test house).

As for the nitty-gritty specs? The RE600X is a dual-band AX1800 extender capable of reaching theoretical data rates of up to 574Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and up to 1,201Mbps on the 5GHz band. It employs Wi-Fi 6 technologies such as WPA3 encryption, MU-MIMO data streaming, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), and beamforming.
It can operate as an extender or as an access point (via a wired connection to your router), and it can be pressed into service as a mesh node when connected to a TP-Link OneMesh router. That makes it an especially good choice if you already own a compatible router.
Overall, the RE600X does a good job of extending 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless signals in your home, but it doesn’t support all Wi-Fi 6 features. That led us to give it a "Good" 3.5-star rating when we initially reviewed it. But now that it's available for less than half its list price, it's a much better value.
