Configure Era 100s and Move 2 with TPLink WiFi network

Hi there!

 

I have a TP-Link AX1500 (main router), a TP-Link RE505x (range extender), 2 x Era 100s (one directly above main router with a turntable fed via USB-C - AUX, and the other 5-10 metres away on a bookshelf).

 

I also have a Move 2, which usually sits about 15-20 metres from the main router and about 5 metres from the extender.

 

I’ve noticed that when the speakers are grouped together, (or I’m using only the Move 2 in its primary location stated above) live radio streams lose connection for 5-15 seconds at a time (I stream NTS radio, MyTunerRadio, and The Lot Radio quite a bit, so dropouts are unaccepteable). Spotify is totally okay!

 

Since turning off my range extender, I have managed to more or less completely alleviate the dropouts (funnily enough the signal level doesn’t seem to be any weaker anyway on the Move 2 with the extender off - which is the one speaker in the network that would need some support from the extender, which leads me to believe the Move 2 may have been ignoring it to a degree anyway?). 

 

I would really appreciate some assistance, for all of those with TP-Link WiFi systems in perhaps keeping my extender active, and ensuring my Era 100s and Move 2 work okay with streaming/radio applications? Open to exploring TP-LInk Mesh if it could work!

You may want to invest in a mesh system instead of using extenders.

And mesh plays well with the latest gen of Sonos speakers? (Era100, Move 2) etc?
