Hi,

 

The RE500X can pretty much extend any Wi-Fi network. TP-Link provides some "How to set up ..." videos on their support website.

https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/re500x/

 

However, unless you have one of the two Deco models that support "Easymesh" I would not recommend adding a RE500X. (non-Deco products like the RE500X do not support Deco-Mesh)

Is there a particular reason why you don't want to add a seventh Deco unit?
