Wi‑Fi Range Extender Mercusys by TP‑LINK ME50G AC1900, 1900 Mbps, External Antennas, Gigabit Ethernet

Mercusys ME50G AC1900 Wi‑Fi Range Extender increases the coverage of an existing wireless network and provides combined dual‑band throughput up to 1900 Mbps (1300 Mbps on 5 GHz and 600 Mbps on 2.4 GHz). Equipped with four adjustable external high‑gain antennas and a Gigabit Ethernet port, it is designed to extend signal reach for home or small office networks and can also operate as a wired access point when connected by Ethernet.

Advantages

The extender supports dual‑band operation and 3×3 MU‑MIMO for improved multi‑device performance, plus Adaptive Path Selection to automatically use the fastest link to the router. High Speed Mode enables both bands to be used together for single‑device throughput. A Gigabit wired port provides fast LAN connections for PCs, IPTV boxes and game consoles, and the device is compatible with routers from any manufacturer. Setup and management are available via the MERCUSYS app or one‑touch WPS.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Extending Wi‑Fi coverage in larger homes or multi‑room apartments
• Improving wireless signal in dead zones (basements, garages, distant rooms)
• Providing wired Gigabit connectivity for devices without Wi‑Fi
• Creating a dual‑band access point from a wired broadband connection

• Antennas: four adjustable external high‑gain antennas
• MIMO: 3×3 MU‑MIMO
• Ethernet: one Gigabit port (10/100/1000 Mbps)
• Modes: Range extender (RE) and Access Point (AP)
• Power consumption: typical ~12 W
• Color: white

How to use

Plug the ME50G into a power outlet within range of your existing router, use the WPS button for one‑touch connection or open the MERCUSYS app to follow the setup wizard. Place the extender roughly midway between the router and the area needing better coverage, and adjust the external antennas for optimal signal direction. To use as an access point, connect an Ethernet cable from your modem or wired network to the extender’s Gigabit port, then configure AP mode in the app or web interface.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, position the extender where it receives a strong signal from the router but still reaches the intended coverage area; avoid placing it near large metal objects or appliances that cause interference. Use High Speed Mode for single‑device intensive tasks like HD streaming or gaming, and enable Adaptive Path Selection to maintain the fastest route to your router.
