5.2. OneMesh Functionality

If your main router supports TP-Link OneMesh, the RE505X can join the Mesh network. This creates a unified network with a single Wi-Fi name, allowing your devices to seamlessly roam between the router and extender without disconnections. To enable OneMesh, ensure your TP-Link router's firmware is updated to the OneMesh version.

5.3. אַקסעס פּוינט (AP) מאָדע

The RE505X can also function as a wireless access point. Connect an Ethernet cable from your router (or any wired network source) to the Gigabit Ethernet port on the RE505X. The extender will then broadcast a new dual-band Wi-Fi network, converting your wired connection into a high-speed wireless signal.
