Thank you very much for this video. I had trouble extending my Internet service. So I bought a new router TP link with Telephony to replace my 1-year old TP link MR500 which couldn't work with my landline.
I followed the instructions in your video, including TP link AV1000 extender.
Perfect! Absolutely fantastic! I'm more than happy. I'll recommend your video for anyone who needs. And I'll like your video over and over.

You guys knew that he was being sarcastic when he used that "advance" tool, right? Well, he got me too. I mean when he pushed that "gadget" up, I thought it was a new device that literally identifies which router to reset. But look who's laughing now.

Hats off for his humour. He'd make a great teacher/professor. I'm sure his lectures won't be dry and boring.

I was on the edge of my seat when that toothpick came out! I love this. It made my smile :) Thank you for your great videos.

You're the best! Should've checked your videos first before anywhere else. Watched this and was finally able to set up my old DLink 880L as an AP, with an Asus AX88U Pro as the main router. Very clear instructions as always!

Thank you again! 👊🏻

I searched for so long, but this is the only needed vdo for extension.
Thank you sir

I really liked your "very advanced reset tool".

Greetings from Sri Lanka.!!!.
I followed your instructions to extend my home internet using a D-Link router, and it worked successfully. My internet had been weakened due to a broken antenna. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and providing clear instructions. I greatly appreciate it.

I haven't had great luck with powerline Ethernet, but if it's your only option it's okay. If your home has coaxial cables run to convenient locations MOCA adapters are much faster and much more reliable and consistent and not affected by things like vacuums and microwaves.

I've got that same Asus RT-AX58U. It's a great router for the money. I was using one, then got a great deal on an RT-AX82U, so now I'm running them in an Aimesh configuration as access points using MOCA Ethernet as the backhaul and it's pretty awesome, I must say. You also get the benefit of better latency if you want to plug a computer or console into the Ethernet ports on the remote access point.

I can't say I'm a fan of D-Link. My previous setup was by them. The hardware was very good, but they basically abandoned it completely after less than two years and they brought out very few updates in that time. Asus seems to get security patches out within a few months of disclosure. For me, a commitment to regular security updates for many years has become a major factor in purchasing any tech. At this point, I'll only buy a Samsung, Google, or Apple phone because nobody else will commit to multiple years of security updates.

Dear friend, the way you explained it was 10 out of 10.🎉🎉 Really a great video. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Türkiye, Kuzuluk.

This is hands down the best way to extend your wifi in your home, forget about mesh, been there done that, a cabled AP will always be better, and you get solid speeds too.

Thank you very much Sir ! ♥️ Finally I fixed it from your video. You are great. We need new rare contents .much love ♥️

[daveo]

Thank you for this video, I was using router than you but everything still worked. I had a little trouble with the ethernet adapter but got it working after a few tries.

[kvnv]

Clearly explained and by using a powerline adapter it was just what I was looking for, many thanks for the great video and for the explanation of high tech reset tool that was used LOL.

Very helpful video. I'm extending between 2 buildings using a TP-LInk CPE605 and this has enabled me to create the extended router in the other building. Thank you 👍

[ettasadventures]

I just subscribed after knowing about you advanced technological toothpick :). You made me smile after a rough day.😊

[MartiA]

Clear concise and honest about links - brilliant

[christopherverzosa]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Exactly the video i was looking for on using my dlink router as extender.

[gergemall]

Thank you, I’m going to try to set up a new Asus router for a bridge connection to reach the back of the house.

[sweetpetenol]
