Copatiible Wifi Extender with the TMobile 5G Internet Gateway?
I am looking for recommendations on the best Wi-Fi extender for the 5G home Gateway. I have both a TP Link RE 220 and a Netgear EX3700. They both fail to connect due to MAC address issues… even though they work fine with my current modem/router. I am looking to move away from my Xfinity service but need a Wi-Fi extender in my garage to connect some of my outdoor enabled devices. ¡Gracias!

I use an older TP-Link Deco mesh system. It's set up as an Access Point with one unit connected via ethernet cable to the T-Mobile gateway. The other units (2) just communicate with the main TP-Link device.
How far apart are the units? Which deco system
did you use? And how much space do you get coverage now? Acres of sqft?
Mine's the old M3 system. It covers 3,000 sq/ft across 2 floors. The units are probably 40-50 ft apart. No lack of coverage here.

We purchased a tp-link RE7705X (AX300 Dual Band) We-Fi 6 Range Extender from Best Buy over the weekend. The t-mobile unit does not have a WPS button so we used the Tether App we downloaded to my phone and followed the directions in the box. I do not have a large home (live in an RV) but it worked just fine after trying different spots to plug it in!
Hi! Was it the TP-Link tether app you used?
I'm trying to link up a TP-Link RE315 extender - the 2g and 5g buttons are lit, solid and I can access the unit from my laptop, where I entered the TMobile SSID, pw, but still am not getting internet connectivity. I've tried ethernet connecting and the Tethering app, but it doesn't pick up the TMobile KVD21 router. … Maybe I'm using the wrong LAN port on the KVD21?

I agree with BethMcNab, I researched for a while and was hearing nightmares with cheaper brand. I got this on Amazon. I am not kidding, with the Tether App I was up and running in 5 minutes! Super easy.
Was this with the 5g Gateway?
