Thanks for including the thoughtful side comments, "what if this, " I found that very helpful. The whole video was exactly what I was looking for.

[@nikraby1939]

Very useful tutorial thanks man. I'm tech savvy but routers give me a headache. With this method does it disable the WiFi on your ISP router or would you have to go into the settings and disable it yourself would you know? I want this to act as my main router handling everything and shutting my crappy plusnet router off and just leave it as a modem.

[@freename]

If you are on fibre to the cabinet I'd recommend buying an Openreach VDSL modem and replacing the Plusnet router with that. Then plug the Openreach modem into the tp-link and it can be the main router doing the PPPoE. No double-nat that way!

[@nikraby1939]

@@freename lovely advice thanks sir. Well I got it working earlier, following your tutorial didn't work for me, I had to put it into router mode, enable DHCP, then turn the wireless off on the plusnet router. Whether or not this is it's ultimate form I don't know but it's reaching the end of my house and it's giving me nearly 40 mb whilst retaining all my home assistant devices without having a breakdown lol Subscribed too man

[@daniel529666]

Thanks for the tutorial! Question - can i use the second tp link router not only as wifi in AP mode? meaning, can i use it as a wifi for my phone/tv + plug in an ethernet cable for a more stable connection to my PC?

[@freename]

Yes, plug in to the yellow lan ports and off you go. It will be a switch as well as WiFi access point.

[@shyamiyer5264]

Thanks for the tutorial. Once the router reboots the internet signal goes off. Unable to find why is it happening! Can you guide me?

[@Bigtbone205]

When i setup like this roaming switching does not work. My mobile device stays connected to the original router and speed drops significantly because of range. To connect the ne AP i have to manually disconnect and reconnect to the the new AP. This works but it is pointless. Are there any settings that can force roam switching?

[@freename]

Devices are generally really bad at moving between access points. I guess you've called them the same name and the same password and encryption type (WPA2-PSK etc.)¿

[@freename]

How do you mean setup additional radios ?

[@fikrienabil1070]

Hello sir. Thanks for the tutorial. By the way, does this router support speed more than 100Mbps if using as access point with the ethernet cable? I want to know because I have an extender that can work as an access point but it seems only support speed below 100Mbps even when I have 1Gbps internet speed.

[@freename]

WiFi will never reach gigabit speeds. Depending on what you are using to get onto the wifi (computer, tablet, phone etc.) the limit may be the device you are using and not your access point. See my video here for my experience with the TP Link and what speeds you can get. I've linked to the middle of the video but you might find watching all of the video helps you understand how different each router and device performs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2fHkJdpZ8mIaKc&t=609 The speed test server can do 1gbps (see the beginning of the video). My experience with the C50 AC1200 wasn't as good as some other routers I tested in the video.

[@DanielSRosehill]

Nice video! I'm currently trying to set up a WiFi network (5 Ghz) from another TP-Link router (TL-MR 100 4G/LTE) - which in turn is connected to my ISP's router. I'm not familiar with AP mode but ... can it work by patching in the ethernet output of another router and then creating a WiFi network to connect wireless devices? Thank you in advance if you have time to answer!

[@freename]

That sounds like you do want AP mode.. If you have ISP router --> to WAN port of your own router --> then a cable to this new tp-link and you also want it to transmit wifi. The best mode would be the AP mode rather than router mode. In router mode you would have double NAT or possibly triple NAT if your ISP router is also doing NAT.

[@yh4rnam]

thanks a lot for the explain, should i keep it in LAN cord after finishing the setup or i can move it without LAN?

[@freename]

My instructions are for it being a wired access point. Some people say that if you select WDS mode it can be a wireless repeater but I've not tried that.

[@yh4rnam]

@@freename thanks bro

[@tc5712ify]

So, once you finished doing that you could move it anywhere in, for instance, a house and only have to plug it into power and it will pick up and broadcast the signal from my main router/modem?

[@carlostalavera4964]

No, you need to keep it plugged in the main router

[@nat0106951]

So you cant use this without a cable? like an extender? ... just clarifying. because some bozo IT Iknow. saying he will use this for a hotel and just connect it wirelessly as accesspoint. 😑

Some people say they've managed it using WDS mode. However for hotel use get something decent and install cables!!!!

[@ReeseGibbs5]

hello. doesnt know much of this techs. but would like to set up an access point to the main router downstairs coz i live upstairs to the third floor and wifi coverage is a mess or shall i say nothing at all. would the can the access point needs to be attached using lan cable from downstairs upto my room on the third floor or can it still be an access point without the lan via to my room? and IF can be an access point wirelessly, can i use it to plug some pc using lan cable too? thank you very much... you are really a great help for us. God bless you! ❤

[@freename]

Maybe using WDS mode but I've no experience of that and can't give you advice. WDS mode _might_ allow you to repeat your existing wifi signal and also use a cable into a computer or console. In normal access point mode you would need a cable going between the TP-Link and your main router. My advice is to work out how to do this. It will be much quicker and more reliable in the future.

[@ReeseGibbs5]

thank you so much! ❤

[@oceangoingsfc]

Thanks for the tutorial. I have a confusion on the products "tp-link re450" WIFI extenders vs "TP-Link TL-WA1201 AC1200 "Access point. they both can work as range extender and access points. which one is better for using as access point? my basement has cable port to connect without WIFI signal at all, so i want to buy a access point to extend the range. I saw these two products have both functions but not sure which one i should choose. what differences between them?

[@freename]

The RE450 is better specification.

[@3410aw]

Howzit Thanks so much for the tutorial. just to confirm... what you are saying is that the TP link Archer C50 AC1200 can not be used as a pure wifi extender without a cable?

[@freename]

Some other comments have said that it works for them in WDS mode but I've not tried and I wouldn't know what to select

[@Chukiestar27Fansub]

I have a silly question so... If I set the router in the way you do, will I able to have it for connecting with lan and also wifi?

[@freename]

Yes. But remember it is a wireless access point only. It isn't a wifi repeater, it needs connecting back to your main router with a cable. You could plug anything else into any of the LAN ports on the tp-link too and they will connect but if you plug just that in and no other cable back to your main router then what you want is a wireless repeater or wifi mesh system using wireless backhaul.

[@Chukiestar27Fansub]

icannotgetafreename thanks so much for your help, I was able to set my router... thanks...

[@HamedSamadi]

Thanks for sharing this, Could you please also show how we can boost the speed on C50 to get a speed close to what can get from Modem? Is there NAT boost functionality available on this product?

[@freename]

Are you testing the speed plugged in with a cable or on wireless? Wireless will _never_ be as good as wired in. I don't have any test results for being close to the router bit when I was about 2 walls away I got only 15mbps on the WiFi. If you want NAT then just plug it in, don't do these instructions as that turns it into an access point only with no routing.

[@waelali3519]

Hi, stupid question: When you say AP mode does that mean after this process is done you will place the router anywhere in your home without Ethernet cable? Or does it need to be connected to Ethernet to get to use it as an AP? Appreciate the answer😃

[@freename]

AP needs a cable. Repeater, WDS or mesh would work without needing a network cable.

[@barjammar]

I have had a frustrating time with this router. I bought three to standardise my network and noted several things: 1. The english instructions in the router interface are poorly written. I see errors typical of someone who has not had a good education in English. Even in China there are much better people who could do this other than the TP-Link junior engineers. Its just a marker that probably there are other issues too. 2. I notice that the Internet LED stays off no matter what. 3. I notice that if I choose the smart IP address (DHCP) I cannot change the IP addresses. That is OK, but in my mind, If it is an access point, the DHCP should come from the blue WAN port and the other ports would use it. Playing around with the settings after that is confusing. I can't easily use that WAN port, I have to put the uplink (to my LAN) on a yellow port and waste that blue port. 4. What is the reset button for? Is it making the device completely "out of the box"? or partially that (some routers I have known will keep some of the settings). I am about to look at this again after doing a firmware upgrade. Nevertheless, next time I think I'll buy a better brand and pay more. I have had a couple of ASUS fancy routers going for 6 years without an issue. I'll update this in a day or so.

[@freename]

1) Sadly standards are crap for most things these days, not just tp-link. 2) In AP only mode it will be like that. 3) When in DHCP mode you won't be able to select an IP address as you've told it you want it to get it via DHCP. It's in Access Point mode so it isn't doing any routing, it's a plain bridge between WiFi and the ethernet sockets. Data comes in ethernet, goes out wifi, data comes in wifi, goes out ethernet. No firewall or other fancy blocking or decisions. No DHCP server for the clients. Anything that connects just has its DHCP request forwarded onto the LAN and responded to by your main DHCP server. 4) Fully factory reset out of box. [Some ISP provided routers like the tp-link Aginet based routers or Zyxel ISP routers can have a customised factory default].

[@LSMPPRO]

I don’t know if anyone is still replying on this video, but I was wondering does this router piggyback of the main router so it acts like a wifi extender as such?

[@freename]

I only replied to a similar question yesterday. The video is for it to be an access point wired back to the network, not as a wireless repeater plugged into power only.

[@chebbahhar5871]

Do you need to keep it plug in with the main router or you can move it anywhere in the house and it turn it on

[@royalstoria4477]

Ok so i dont understand all the terms but i want to ask something Right now i have a main router but big house so the signal is weak inside. I was hoping to get an extender but someone said if i have another router i can make the signal stronger inside with it. Does that mean as an access point or do they mean turning the router into an extender? Will setting up my other router as an access point and connecting it to the wall port use the same internet i already have or does it need its own Internet? The other router is a tplink with 4 antennas My main router is connected to a wire that comes out from the wall l. This wire is connected to a splitter going to the router and house phone. Theres 2 places in the house where i can place this wire My main router currently is a huawei hg633 but its like landline owned so to go to ip address its the provider website

[@freename]

If you have network cabling in your house back to the main router you can definitely use the router in the video or an old ISP router (with special configuration changes) to turn it into an access point to do WiFi from that location as well. The wall port HAS to be network. It can't just be another phone socket.

[@freename]

​@@ryanwort18 You can always test by changing the name to something different (it doesn't have to be the same, just having it the same means you don't have to manually swap between the networks). If you are managing to connect but being given a 169.254.X.X IP address it means that you are connected Ok to the wireless but your DHCP requests are not reaching the main router. Check that you've got the network cables plugged into the right places for correct LAN connectivity between your main router and the access point.

[@Carxkiller]

So can I just buy the router and put a lan cable going from that router to lets say a PS4 or do I need to have a lab cable going from my main router to the new one (like the one u show in this video) and then to the device I want it to go in? Also do you pay monthly for the new internet or not? Thanks

[@freename]

In the method I show in the video you will need a cable going from the tp link to your main router. That's going to be the best experience if gaming. Some people say they have used WDS mode to bridge the tp link over WiFi to their main router but this will be slower and less reliable. You won't need to pay any additional subscription to have another WiFi point in your network.

[@Carxkiller]

@@freename I know it will be for better experience, but could I just plug it in and have a lab cable going to PS4 or will it not work without my main router?

[@freename]

@@Carxkiller You will always need a main router. It is how you connect between that main router and the tplink that is important. Cable is what I show but some commenters on this video said it has worked for them using "WDS" wifi bridging back to their main router (without using a cable to the main router). You will also still need to pay for your normal internet connection. Having the tp-link doesn't magic free internet without you already having working internet :)

Difficult to tell depending on the OS. Google how to find your BSSID on the OS you use. From memory on OSX you hold down Option and press the WiFi icon and it gives you a load of detailed network status. On Windows you go into the wireless properties. Or on Android you can use Aruba Utilities to see which MAC address you are connected to.

Thanks in advance.

[@freename]

You are correct. Two DHCP SERVERS will cause lots of weirdness. I think the setting in the video you are commenting about is if the access point is a DHCP CLIENT, this is fine. (Although may be more sensible to have it on a static IP so you always know what IP it is using).

[@didgerydoo]

@@freename Thanks for your fast response. I think I get what you mean, so in my case (using 2 routers behind a modem) I think it would be best to switch both DHCP-modes off, right? That way, if needed, I can reach both routers through the IP's given out by the optic-fiber modem... One more question: Am I right if it would be best to use static channels for both the 2.4 and 5GHz signals? i.e. on the 2.4GHz use channel 1 for the modem, chanel 6 for the 1st router and channel 11 for the 2nd router? If so, what channel-layout would you recommend for the 5GHz-network? Thank you again for your time! You've got yourself a new subscriber! ;-)

[@freename]

@@didgerydoo If you truly have a modem only then it should be a bridge and your ISP provide IPs. They are unlikely to hand out more than one IP. Or your modem is actually in routing mode and giving out 192.168.X or 10.X IPs ? In which case DHCP off for the extenders is fine. Static WiFi channels are a good idea. On 2.4GHz the only non overlapping and "worldwide" channels would be 1, 6 and 11. Unsure on 5GHz but setting statically is a good idea. And look up "DFS channels" and try to avoid using those.

Thanks for the great tutorial! I have a question, by making the tp archer an access point, we can still connect to the router wifi as normally done before right? It doesnt disable the router if im correct? My router will be in bedroom and a long Ethernet will connect the tp link in the living room. So half the house can connect to the router whilst the tp link side connects to tp link. Is this correct? If so when moving around will it automatically switch to the strongest signal lets say if you are going back and forth the 2 sides of the house. Thanks!

Your original router will still continue to function as normal (as long as the IP of the new TP Link does not collide with the IP address of your original router.) As long as you use the same SSID (wifi name) and password settings on both the router and the TP link you should roam automatically without having to select a new network when you move to the other side of the house.

@@kjboxdyou734 What does the computer show as the default gateway when connected to the access point? Are you plugging the tp-link into your main router with a network cable or expecting it to magic wifi repeating out of nowhere?

[@Himesh7111]

Bro it has lock the speed to 94 mbps can i increase it.

[@freename]

Check your network cables. Sounds like one might be faulty or only have 4 wires in it rather than 8 wires. This is the usual cause for something being pinned to a max of 94-97mbps.

[@Himesh7111]

@@freename i have tried that same lan cable with my pc it gives 450mbps but the cable only give 94 mbps in this router . I doscovered that the wlan and lan ports only support 100 mbps pf speed . This is just a scam done by these tp link provider they say it supports 867 mbps but the port port ssupports 100 bps max .

[@freename]

@@Himesh7111 Huh, you are very correct. That is disappointing for such a new router. I wouldn't have expected it to have only 100mbps ports.

Are you using a steam engine to power your router?

[@freename]

It is the hamster running in the wheel used power my office.

[@techcellunitthanjavur982]

how to set another wifi network to this router

[@freename]

Multiple SSIDs? Like a guest network?

[@bp51326]

can you switch the country, I'm in Asia and want to watch apps from the US.

[@freename]

Only using a VPN service on your device (not the router). Something like Speedify, NordVPN or similar.

[@ohiodolphin1000]

what was the command

[@freename]

cmd ipconfig ping ip.address.here -t If none of those, let me know which bit of the video you are asking about.

[@piotrpolcyn3038]

Archer C50 can work as a access point client mode?

[@freename]

Maybe in WDS mode but I've not tested it and don't know how

[@alexlitz706]

It dosen't give me the ability to input a username, only a password and it says the password is not admin... any ideas?

[@freename]

Exactly the same model shown in the video? Where did you buy it or get given it ? Have you tried factory resetting it?

[@khxnzy4270]

Thanks for the tutorial My question: can I use the router for my PS4 even tho I have not plugged it in to my main router and also the connection to my PS4 will be by Ethernet thanks

[@freename]

Yes, if you plug from the router to the TP link LAN and the PS4 also into the TPLink LAN. IF you only plug your PS4 in - the TP link _won't_ be an "extender" with the backhaul over wifi.

[@khxnzy4270]

I have my PS4 upstairs and the WiFi is downstairs is there any way I can use the tp link upstairs also thank you for your reply

[@freename]

@@khxnzy4270 Only with a cable running between the two. What you need otherwise would be either power line network kit that uses your mains wiring or a wireless repeater / mesh system. Both have their intermittency and annoyances. Wifi repeating can be awful especially if you get really cheap equipment. Power line network sometimes doesn't work at all.. but should be ok if it works but nowhere near as good for gaming as a full ethernet cable to your router.

[@khxnzy4270]

Thank you

[@GwenAllyssor]

if im going to connect it to a router - is wireless mode more appropriate or should it be setup in access moe? thanks

[@freename]

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. If you are connecting it to your router with a network cable then this video shows the settings you should use! If you want to repeat an existing wifi signal with the TP-link only plugged into power and no other cables, this video isn't the one you want.

[@CasualCasimir]

So what is this? Can I not just use this and get internet?

[@freename]

You could use it in router mode as an Ethernet router if you want.

[@douganshow475]

Archer c50 или c64?

[@freename]

C50 in this video. A C64 in these: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2TdiYFohqijgpI and kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaaqlH2dfNB3r5I

Close WPS !???

[@freename]

Do you mean how do you disable the WPS button so it can't be used?

[@technicalsupport6573]

Atleast show the connection first, where do i connect my lan from primary router to the wan of access point or lan port?

[@freename]

1:01 - shows you ? and at 7:20 too when I'm testing if it matters if you use the WAN or LAN.

[@aamirislam1721]

U sound like your in a factory

[@freename]

I'm definitely not in a sensible quiet studio :) I would like to be but depending on the time of year: -My noisy fan heater might be on. -My noisy air conditioning might be on -My door might be open to keep the temperature sensible but allowing in road noise -My neighbour might have been doing building work; which they were for about a year at one point.

What IP does your computer show as having as its IP and its default gateway ?

[@xmaturo1546]

Idk what my password is

[@xmaturo1546]

I always put admin but it doesn’t go through

[@freename]

Your only option is to factory reset it all back to defaults using the reset button. You will lose all your custom settings but it will also make sure the password is the one on the sticker or in the manual.

[@retardocardo3307]

Does this work on ps5?

[@freename]

As in can a PS5 connect to the WiFi created by the Tp-Link C50 when it's plugged into a router via a network cable and configured to be an access point? If so.. yes. If you mean can you use a PS5 to do the configuration I show in the video, no.. I expect its far too limited and don't have a proper web browser or input method.

[@retardocardo3307]

@@freename yes it was to connect to wifi

[@retardocardo3307]

@@freename can i do the setup on mobile app or do i need a pc?

[@freename]

@@retardocardo3307 I doubt there is a Mobile App.. but you should be able to do it via the browser on your phone if you can tell the phone to ignore the "Connected but No Internet" issue which often stops your phone sending data out the WiFi.
