If the music is too loud on your device,watch the 【NO music version】 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpqZY4KBhMaleqc

[@SA-zd4vs]

Thank you so very much for this video. I set it up with the paper instructions and the app and it did not work at all. I reset it today and and set it up with the help of your video. 5 stars !!

[@waynerogers5485]

Best instruction I found. Worked great. Method 2. Thanks a lot.

[@MrCam70]

for method 2, what.if my pc is connected thru cable to the router?

Life saver!

[@purrungas2012]

top of the line thank you

[@jasonl4237]

Would the range extender work if I do not flip up the antenna like V shape, I mean flip down like hands beside the body ? Would plugging into a socket extension that has like 4 sockets work? Thanks

[@michaelryan1103]

Please do one without the music.

[@liztewliztew]

This is an awesome video which I keep turning to when I find myself setting up or resetting my range extender or someone else's. My one complaint is with the music. IT'S TOO LOUD!

[@AnthonyTrendl]

100% agree. I'm trying to set it up but that music makes it difficult.

[@timsnow6430]

Forgot to say great video as well! :-)

[@paullaing3507]

thank you so simply and easy to follow

[@masongamerd2981]

really helped, i’ve always had connection difficulties. but thanks to the tp link extender i’m able to connect via ethernet to play my games with fast internet conections

[@DanWoodCoaching]

How far can you be for it to connect? Like a average ballpark number? 20 feet, 50 feet?

[@lynnewilson7981]

my PC volume is on High... can barely hear as music is louder

[@Came42]

I get a weak wifi security on my iPhone when I connect to this extender. Is there any fix to that?

[@FrederickDunn]

Can you place more than one of these units on the same network? Say with the router in the center and range extenders on either side of it? Wall away from the base router?

[@cquence1983]

Yes, you can use 2 extenders with a few caveats. Performance for the second extender will usually be unsatisfactory. Therefore, each extender should connect to the main router.

[@aprintojoss8079]

If I filtered my wifi through MAC address, do I need set it up again in RE450 ?

[@dipeshuk2]

Really helpful thanks albeit shamethe music was too loud.

[@nadineneukermans7800]

Indeed, what an idea to put music in this video, very annoying

[@adityakumar-kd1oj]

How many devices does it support and its processor details.

[@AZCardCollector1]

After the extender is set up, can the original wifi networks be hidden, or will they still need to remain visible

[@richboyz166]

Does it work with a wow internet router ?

[@marshalltyler7110]

I really wish that I could have my own PW for the extender. Every time I need to connect to a different WiFi (daily when my boat is cruising), I must change the PW on all of the SEVEN devices which are connecting via the TP-extender. Can you PLEASE offer a software update which would permit a local PW to go with the Extender's name?

[@timsnow6430]

Would love to see Wi-Fi signal difference using Wi-Fi Sweetspots app ?

[@codegasoftpro]

Is it possible to define another separate password for secondary extended network than the primary network?

[@alfaber7480]

gostaria de saber se ele cria novas redes ou se ele aumenta a sua ja existente, pois quando configuro não encontro essas nova rede

I have no tplink in my WiFi list of any description. What do I do

[@sanjeevchawla1845]

Thankyou :)

[@mustafaahmedsalahaldeen9767]

Thanks it worked. I used the wps method it didn't even take a mintue.

[@przemysawkramarczyk1846]

Is there any way to change wifi channel on RE650? If really not.. what the output wifi channel will be? Best regards from Poland:)

[@TheSkyPod]

Does this only work with a TP-Link router , or can you use any brand ?

[@Don_Pollo_Hacker]

Can i connect my tp link tl wa850re to ps4 with ethernet port

[@SSx700]

If I name the Wifi Extender's SSID the same as the Router's, when I walk around the house, does the phone automatically switch back-and-forth to the strongest signal? Thanks!

[@lilic724]

SSx700 it should I have RE500 it was setup up in my garage where I didn’t have any WiFi signal now I have full bars in my garage , and every time I walk in my garage it automatically switch , very good product works great 👍 with my RING floodlight cam

[@R1zla]

Recently bought an re650 model. Works fine for a while then I suddenly have no internet even though it's still connected to the modem. Works again for a while after I cycle power and then conks out. Pretty frustrating. Probably going to return it

[@conorwalsh4920]

I have it turned on and the t link WiFi single isn’t coming up and they are both connected?

[@Drodo4492]

I live in a basement apartment, the router is upstairs. Will this help? It’s been awful trying to get any speed or solid connection down here. Thanks!

[@arunbhardwaj4531]

thanks

[@marcotjokro926]

What if I don't want to modify the SSID and keep the same, is it going to smoothly & automatically change the signal when out of reach?

[@muawadorabi7554]

Yes It will extend the signal with same SSID name

[@maaziz6306]

sir, i feeling a big problem. suddently i deleted my mobile setting when connected wifi , after some secound disconnect wifi. and not connect wifi connection on my mobile, when dhcp is static ip then again connect wifi but no internet. i reset my router but wifi connect but no internet.again again try, but no internet. please give me a solution

[@khalidz1592]

Is it safe to keep it plugged in and working all the time?

[@adannn]

Isnt that literally the point of a plug in wifi extender?🙄

[@Hassanm799]

do you recommend this extender? my wifi speed is 250 mpbs, will it go down by a lot?

[@tmacfan2132]

No it's a piece of shit don't buy

[@starmc26]

You have to know what you're doing, and not be a complete imbecile, but it works great.

[@AlbertoJMarcano]

Everything's seems to be working, but my Globe in my app is Red. Is it meant to be Red? I have the check marks and things are connected and working, so just confused...

[@biggestkkfan1506]

Why did you put on music to this? I want to hear your good explanation, which is hardly to understand.

[@Aquoscapture]

Can I use the RE360 as a stand-alone device to provide WiFi to my devices meaning that would I be able to connect a ethernet cable on RE360 a send WiFi internet to my devices

[@tpsupport]

the port is a LAN port instead of WAN, its wifi provides wireless connection and port provides ethernet conenction , so , no.

[@purrungas2012]

@@tpsupport y ethernet port does not work, I tried both frequencies in settings still my Arlo base won''t get a signal, any suggestions? thanks

Thanks, but the music is far too loud and masks your voice

[@MrCam70]

for method 2, what.if my pc is connected thru cable to the router?

[@RottenCabbage]

I can't connect my laptop, phones work fine. When I try to connect with my laptop it asks for an 8 character PIN. My network password is 10 characters long, but only allows me to type 8 in.

[@SandroFranchi]

Why do you change the SSID losing the roaming capabilities of the client?

[@timcapell]

I was thinking the same thing, why would you want SSID’s listed as extended. I wouls keep the same so you can roam the house and it jumps between router and extender automatically

[@ahmedidris3234]

How do I know the extender is working? if I move it after the setup

[@neckband123]

Your signal strength will go up and you can do a speed test online

[@sweetchilli1261]

For some reason the middle line for the 5Ghz isnt lit. it was lit for some time but now it isnt even after i replugged it it doesnt light up

ok but how to solve this message "optaining to inter ip address"and not connected?

[@jaytee2454]

Mine is connected via Ethernet and the lights won’t stay on. Set up everything online. 🤔

[@cheekysod2]

Mine no longer connects to the Internet with a wired connection, I've only had it 2 weeks, could it just be a faulty extender or is there a fix?

[@weasty7309]

I can't find the WiFi of the extender on my phone, I've followed all the steps but it's not appearing

[@philhahn]

Got the impression I could use the ethernet port to connect to a splitter, and THEN have the unit broadcast the wifi signal to have a more stable network connection at 2.4gHz . Sadly seems I was misled -_-

[@ChaosAC24]

yea trying to set this up has been a nightmare. I've tried both online and their tethering app. Every time the extender appears I can't connect to it, get booted from it when I reach the end of set up, or it disappears from the accessible wifi list. Its been very annoying

[@neek2117]

ive been having the same problem. did you find a solution?

[@ChaosAC24]

@@neek2117 Unfortunately no. I couldn’t find a solution or figure it out myself. I ended up just buying my network providers(ATT) extender

[@starmc26]

You don't get "booted" from it. Once you add your network ssid's and passwords, it is now part of your network. Initially, the unit broadcasts its own wifi, which you connect to ONLY to change it to yours, to which afterwards, you won't connect to it again.

[@richardroozekrans6362]

Can a range extender (in my case RE190) be combined with the Deco M4?

It didn’t work for me . The internet still very slow

[@senorkapowssite]

Didn't work for me using the 3rd method the first time. But the second time I did not press the WPS button on the router for too long, just a quick tap, and it worked for the 4G... Did it again, just tapping the WPS on the router very quickly, and the 5G light came on as well. When it did not work for me, I was pressing the WPS button for too long, instead of just tapping it. Hope this works for you.

[@02sideshow]

@@senorkapowssite my 5G light came on but the light in the middle isn’t on you think I should do it again?

Slow internet and strong signal are 2 very different things.

[@odairfernandes1912]

I am in trouble. I did everything but the leds never get solid (2.4 and 5.0 and the big round button). In other words, I can never connect the Repeater to the router, so My devices can communicate with the repeater but no internet. I tried to connect the router and the repeater using a RJ45 net cable (the same all of us use to connect a router to a PC) and even so there was no solid led (except, of course, the power led). My router has MAC filter (i.e., only registered MAC addresses are allowed to connect) but I am sure I registered all MAC addresses of the repeater on my router. I don't know what to do. Anyone could help me? Please? Thank you in advance.
