Important Note

The advertised AC2600 rating combines theoretical wireless link speeds of up to 800Mbps on 2.4GHz and 1733Mbps on 5GHz. A single connected device will not receive a 2600Mbps internet connection.

Actual Wi-Fi speed, coverage and throughput depend on your router, internet connection, connected devices, interference, walls, installation position and other environmental conditions.

MU-MIMO benefits require compatible MU-MIMO client devices.

TP-Link has released the RE650 in multiple hardware revisions. OneMesh availability and firmware features can differ between revisions, so check the hardware version printed on the physical QUTECH stock if mesh compatibility is important.

The RE650 is a Wi-Fi 5 / 802.11ac extender. It does not provide Wi-Fi 6 / 802.11ax connectivity.

Plug type varies by region. Confirm whether QUTECH stock uses the UK, EU or another plug before publishing a specific plug type.
