[@karenclarke5684]

Thank you for your video. Can I also connect by pressing the WPS button on router or is there a reason why connection is best via logging into TPLink web browser? Also will I have to flip between router and extender depending where I am in house or will the device do that automatically?

Nice one, the video helped me straight away to be up and running on TP-Link Wifi extender

[@h-dawg969]

If I plug an Ethernet cable from the router that’s in the house, into this extender that’s in ann outhouse outside and across the garden, will it work that way as well? I don’t know if the signal from the router in the house is too weak to reach the extender, but the Ethernet cable solution would be perfect. Is that possible. I literally just want to plug the router into the extender to have WiFi in my outhouse. It’s a seperate building across a small garden, where I currently only get 1 bar internet. I have Apple TV connected to a long Ethernet Cable from the router which works, but I don’t have any WiFi for connecting my computer.

[@nickscomputerfix]

Yes an Ethernet cable will provide a solid connection to your house outside.

[@h-dawg969]

@ Sweet. That’s ideal. So if I plug the Ethernet lead into one of these, it just boost the routers signal at the other end. That’s perfect for my needs. I’ll have to grab one tomorrow. Thanks for responding. ;)

Suggest you might look into getting more Internet bandwidth speed from your ISP. An Extender will not give you more Internet bandwidth for streaming.

[@AOG_ETH]

How can you turn this into a repeater? I dont want to have to connect to this every time. I am not sure but it may switch automatically. Please any help would be appreciated.

[@nickscomputerfix]

It's a extender/repeater by default. Once you make a connection for the first time, your wifi device remembers the connection and connects automatically.

[@AOG_ETH]

@@nickscomputerfix I thought so. I did a speed test using my modem/router and I hit 200mps. I switched over to the tplink and only hit 12mps. Should I just stay connected to my router only, but when I did my wifi signal dropped as if the tplink wasn't there.

[@AOG_ETH]

@@nickscomputerfix I just reset it, and named it completely like my router. Now it is showing just my router name. I believe giving it the same name as my router will turn it into a reapter vs a access point. Hopefully I am correct

[@nickscomputerfix]

When your Extender is connected directly to your primary wireless router/modem by CAT5 cable, it can then be configured and used as an AP Access Point. When it's use as a Extender it extends your wifi network wirelessly as is shown in my video. For the long explanation and additional information, I suggest a Google search with keywords: what is a wifi access point.

[@AOG_ETH]

@@nickscomputerfix my problem is that the extender wants me to manually connect to it. I just want it to run concurrent with my router. I understand that I will lose speed as well. I don't understand why the extender requires me to select it. I guess to sum it up I want my extender to act like a second router that I dont have to click on it every time.

You most likely will need to perform a repeater reset by using the RESET button (press and hold for a REAL 12-14 seconds) while it's plugged into a wall outlet and power is on, then release the RESET button and go through the setup steps again as shown in my video. Also when setting it up double check that you are using the correct wifi password to connect to your router with the Extender during set up.

[@nickscomputerfix]

Extender location is the primary key to getting the best signal quality and most distance out of any extender. You might experience interference problems, for example: thick walls or floors, other electronic equipment or extender might be to far away from router...etc. Test until you find the best sweet spot somewhere mid way between your Primary Router and your Wifi device connecting to the extender. This will give you the best consistently solid signal quality from the extender.

[@abidingfaithministries974]

How do you setup (2) TP-Link Extenders? One is already installed but the other?

[@nickscomputerfix]

You can have multiple extenders on a home network. However, they can not be daisy chained together. Each Extender must connect wirelessly or via Ethernet cable directly to your primary wifi router/modem.

[@GCT1990]

Can't reach the site

[@nickscomputerfix]

Once this extender setup has been completed, that old temporary setup IP network/URL address/link is deleted. This is why you can not get back into the setup page/site. In order to get back into setup again, after a setup or switching wifi routers/modems or ISP, you will need to perform a repeater reset by using the RESET button (press and hold for a REAL 12-14 seconds) while it's plugged into a wall outlet and power is on, then release the RESET button and go through the setup steps again as shown in my video. Also make sure you are using your correct wifi password to connect the extender to your wifi router/modem.

Aww, MAN! What kind of 'REVIEW' is it that shows NOTHING regarding BEFORE/AFTER RESULTS?!?!?!?! I DO appreciate your going through the 'set-up', but I only want to SEE/KNOW if a LOW connection has been improved, and you DID NOT SHOW THIS. You could of at least done a before and after speed check, buddy! Thumbs-DOWN from me. UPDATE! UPDATE!! UPDATE!!! This provider responded to my above comment in an EXTREMELY thoughtful manner, explaining his reasoning for why he did things his way, and I find that is the mark of a sincere, thoughtful individual. Taking the time to do such a thing for one of his NOW followers is a rare experience for yours truly here. As I responded back to his reply to my comment, I STILL would have liked to have seen the before/after results, or at least been told the differences. However, I now have a much better understanding as to why he did not provide that information. Again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH to this new presenter I will be following - lol!✨🤗✨ Oh, and I changed my thumb rating!😁

[@nickscomputerfix]

I didn't show results intentionally. Why? Because they are virtually different for everyone. Here's the reason in a nutshell: Extender location is the primary key to getting the best signal quality, speed and most distance out of any extender not just this one. You might experience interference problems, cut offs, signal drops, low speeds: because of thick walls, floors, house construction materials used, metal roofs, non metal roofs, neighbors wifi channel overpowering your extenders network connectivity, other electronic equipment or extender might be to far away from router...etc. With any extender you will need to test best placement location until you find the best sweet spot somewhere mid way between your Primary Router and your Wifi device connecting to the extender. This will give you the best consistently solid speed and strongest signal quality from the extender to your wifi device.
