Versatile Ethernet Functionality
The integrated Fast Ethernet port serves dual purposes: converting wired connections to wireless access points and connecting wired devices like gaming consoles or smart TVs to your Wi-Fi network.
Deployment / Use Cases
This range extender is ideal for extending coverage to areas with weak signals, such as basements, garages, or remote office spaces. Its compatibility with various operating systems—including Windows, macOS, Linux, and UNIX—makes it suitable for mixed-device environments.
For home entertainment setups, the RE220 can bridge connectivity to streaming devices, smart TVs, and gaming consoles. In small office settings, it provides additional coverage for conference rooms or peripheral work areas without requiring extensive cabling.
Residential Coverage Extension
Eliminate dead zones in multi-story homes or large apartments by placing the RE220 strategically between your router and problem areas, ensuring consistent coverage for smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices.
Small Office Network Expansion
Extend Wi-Fi to auxiliary spaces like reception areas, break rooms, or satellite offices while maintaining network security through enterprise-grade encryption protocols.
Physical Profile
Measuring 4.33 inches wide, 2.96 inches high, and 2.59 inches deep, the RE220 features a compact footprint that blends discreetly into wall outlets. Its wall-mountable form factor allows for clean installation without occupying desk or shelf space, while internal antennas maintain a low-profile appearance.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 2.96" (75.20 mm), 4.33" (110 mm), 2.59" (65.80 mm). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
