Good explanation. Question: When configuring it as Access Point, do you have the same modem speed? That is, if I have contracted 100 MB, does the Access Point with WiFi provide me with the same 100 MB?

Thanks for this tutorial - exactly what I needed and worked first time - much appreciated

[Chris-lolh]

Thanks, it worked for me first time. Took less than 5 minutes. Big help, thanks

[alvarezz]

so the access point needs to be a different name than the router wifi?

[ngari]

Wait do i need to connect the range extendor to the wifi router using a cable?

[housedr.jupiter]

why yours tp-link settings meniu look different when mine, we both have same extenders? I still using that 20 years old GUI.

Requires hardware version 2 or higher.

Why do you have no 5GHz on the top-link website. Is it because you have a modem that doesn’t support 5GHz? Thinking of buying one

bro do this mode offers you as a router? like if you don't have a router at home then can you use this extender via lan cable to make is as a router?

[chrmantilla]

If the main router has WiFi, Is it necessary to turn WiFi off? I use the extender as repeater but losses almost 50% of speed....so im trying the AP mode

I setup my RE into Access Point mode. But when i plugged in the Ethernet cable into the device, the internet status is unknown? How do i fix that?

[sricharansureshkumar]

did everything the same as you. but the last step still shows internet disconnected for me. been trying same, still no solution. as advice as on what should be done??

[DiversionsInMath]

It says in the manual that the ethernet port can't be used to connect to a router. So how does it connect to the router in "access point mode"?

[kanishkmonty]

I connected still not working disabled dhcp enalbled it reseted it 3 times still no luck I connected the Ethernet port from the WiFi to the tp link is that what we have to do right? And even before it was wireless so why wire to wireless is it?

[GuyPred]

If I stay on default mode (Range extender) but I connect RJ45 cable from my main router this extender, does it cancel all this procedure ?

[jatinduggal]

I want to extend my wireless range to wireless again.... I did all the setup... But status says internet status unknown.... This is written in the first step on tp link web page.... Although i can access that internet fine when i connect direct to router.... Why is this happening

[anhtutran]
