RE603X vs RE605X
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I just purchased the Archer AX11000 router because I am in the process of moving into a 4200 square foot home (two story) and I pretty confident I will need to purchase a range extender, if not two. With that said, I have two questions. First, what is the difference between the RE603X and the RE605X? Secondly, can I use a Powerline (to hardwire certain devises) in conjunction with said units? I appreciate any advice and suggestions. Thank you.

@MistuKumSan Hello,
RE603X is nearly the same as RE605X, only that RE603X is sold on specific channels/ retailers.
(US website compare) https://www.tp-link.com/us/compare/?typeId=10&productIds=50234%2C42131
Range extenders could not communicate via House Powerline, they normally wirelessly connect to router.
As you have a two- story large house, you may consider powerline units to extend the network if your house are in the same Powerline circuit/ under same power meter.
e.g. oneMesh compatible Powerline devices like TL-WPA8631KIT

You may add more powerline units to extender internet via WiFi or wire (they normally sold by KIT)if you have multiple rooms.

Hello @MistuKumSan
Sorry for the late reply.
1. For WiFi range please check this FAQ' Q1: What’s the range of an 11AC/11AX wireless product or how far can it cover?'
https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/2291/
2. I did not hear that powerline units will cause interference to each other, please check this thread to check things that may affect powerline evironment.
What can I do if my powerline rate is very low?
For WiFi interference , I suggest putting powerline extender unit (with WiFi feature) in a different room from router.

@Solla-topee I apprecaite the feedback. So, If I am understanding you correctly, I can either go with the RE605X to effectively extend my WiFi coverage or go with the TL-WPA8631KIT powerline adapters for WiFi and hardline capabilities. Thank you!

@Solla-topee I'm about order a TP-Link AV1300 Powerline WiFi Extender(TL-WPA8631P KIT) but before can you provide some information.
1.) what is the effective Wi-Fi range of the adapters?
2.) how far apart do the adapters need to be so they do not interfere with each other?
