Setup TP-Link Router as a Wireless Access Point [2 Methods]

[@thinkdeeperdeeper3147]

Perfect video. no nonsense. straight to the point. Subscribed. worked like a charm. I had the operation mode in access point tplink, and once i set that, everything worked automatically after that.

[@jayneel3137]

bro how to make the range extender (repeater) without lan cable wirelessly ?

[@datdaica123]

this is awesome thank you, I was confused when TP link said we can just connect the main router to second router through WAN , I thought method 2 was the only way. Now i know they have method 1 came in handy for some router

[@looshstar]

Thank you very much, I just follow method 2. and its work perfect my main router is Archer VR600 and the access point router also archer VR400 I just change the IP address and disable DHCP in the second router and connect cable from main router to the second and both routers have internet without zero issues On routers like ARCHER VR600 or vr400 etc... " DSL MODEM ROUTER" make sure the operation mode on Wireless Router Mode

[@smaug9833]

Dude, which router did you turn into access point? the main router or the other one or both? I'm talking about in-built AP mode

[@kozmic85]

Thank you for your excellent video! Can a router like AX20 be used as a wifi extender? I mean, the router to be connected wirelessly to the main modem.

[@theboz1419]

That's what I'm looking for also. I can't find a way to do this

[@kozmic85]

@theboz1419 I don't understand how it is possible for manufacturing companies to build such a big machine that is able to receive internet by wire but not wirelessly. It makes no sense to me.

[@eddyjayarsinahon8433]

Router mode interrupts with you main router. It's advisable to use it as access point mode ir range extender because it won't interrupt with the main modem or router.

[@rsorez329]

Hi. Could you explain a little bit more?

[@eddyjayarsinahon8433]

@@rsorez329 sorry my explanation was kinda confusing. Don't use it as router mode because it can interrupt with your main modem. I use it as Access point or Range Extender and I had no problem at all with those settings.

[@derez8751]

​@@eddyjayarsinahon8433Hi, I have a question. How can I make my main router focus only on (prioritize) my PC, and the router that works as an access point (for my guests) doesn't interfere with the performance of the main router? Because I notice every time many people use the internet, the connected devices cause my internet to experience packet loss and it bothers me a bit.

[@nawazwaseem2219]

How do I put my router into router mode? I only want my old router as a modem and then my new (improved router) to do the rest of the work. Any suggestions?

Thanks for this video, i've been looking for a solution for my home network. Coz my wifi is not reaching my room but there's a ethernet cable on the wall that i can use for access point. Question is if i connect my Pc to the access point through Lan cable, can i still use the wifi for my mobile phones and tablets? Thanks for the response.

[@ganeshr477]

you can also connect the main router and access point router with LAN port no need of WAN port and give same ssid for both router in this way you can rome in house without wifi disconnect it will automatically connect to nearest access point point router

[@doublefuture]

[@SunLISunTube]

For first time I found that the Router Mode was working when connecting to the main router. But later months it's had issues like dropping connection, terribly slowing down internet speed that unable to run the speed test etc. Only after changing to Access Point mode this problem was resolved. However, I didn't have have dynamic IP anymore when connecting to the internet in Access Point mode. In such mode only assigned static IP provided by the main router (inspite of DHCP enabled in this router). DHCP setting also greyed out in TP-link. Is there a means to have dynamic IP to all the devices connected to TP-link ? or any possibility to change back to Router Mode again ?

You said it's wireless... but in the last the wire shows connected to each other router.. I need wireless connectivity for extended router. Pls tell the method. Thanks

[@MooneWhistler]

You should try to read up and get a better understanding of Wi-Fi and connections. I don't mean that in a bad way I just mean it's rather confusing unless you have a little more knowledge. however it can all easily be found online. in order to extend or boost the Wi-Fi you have to have Wi-Fi. so if you were talking about extending it with a router you need an ethernet cable or you need to get one with a Poe switch so you don't have to plug it in but you're still going to need the ethernet cord. otherwise you're talking about a range extender or something that just plugs in. not a router. look into Wi-Fi range extenders and mesh systems

[@novamerta3366]

I think the method 2 is to change the router becone switch mode

[@joegame4576]

why do you use wan port on the first scenario but lan port on the second?

[@thinkdeeperdeeper3147]

The WAN port in a router is used to connect the router to the internet or a modem. It is used to receive data from the internet and distribute it to the devices connected to the router. On the other hand, LAN ports are used to connect devices within a local network. They are used to transfer data between devices connected to the router. In the Access Point mode, the WAN port is not used. Instead, the router is connected to the internet via a LAN port. This is because the router is not responsible for routing traffic in this mode. It is only responsible for providing wireless access to devices connected to it. In the LAN settings, the WAN port is also not used. Instead, the router is connected to the internet via a modem. The modem is connected to the WAN port of the router. The LAN ports are used to connect devices within the local network

[@joegame4576]

@@thinkdeeperdeeper3147 thanks for the explanation but you didn't understand either my question or the video. you said "In the Access Point mode, the WAN port is not used" but the video clearly shows the WAN port being used. i'm talking about the tp-link router, not the main router.

[@delta6832]

@@joegame4576the video is not accurate when making the router an access point (AP) connect the two routers lan to lan not lan to wan. So the Ethernet cable would be connected to main router lan port and to second routers lan port (not the second routers wan port). Hope this clears ur doubt.

[@Kazuma045]

I'ts not posible use ther rotuer as full bridge switch, have the full potentiality of the wifi and the 4lan disponibly for connect multiples devises in all in the same network as the main router?

[@roodeeznutz]

TP-Link provides "Operation Mode" menu and enables the WAN port to work similar to LAN-LAN in "AP mode" and still provide 4 LAN ports to be used. In regular router which doesn't have that menu, you have to use the second method because WAN port is still WAN port and you need LAN port to connect both routers so that leaves you 3 LAN ports to use.
