Getting Started
This document outlines the primary methods for configuring your TP-Link Wi-Fi Range Extender to extend your existing wireless network. Follow the instructions carefully to ensure a smooth setup process.
Setup Methods
TP-Link offers two main methods for setting up your range extender:
- TP-Link Tether App: Download the latest Tether app from the App Store or Google Play and follow the in-app instructions for a guided setup.
- Web Browser: Connect your computer to the extender via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable, then access the setup interface through a web browser by visiting www.tplinkrepeater.net or the default IP address 192.168.0.254.
Optimal Placement
For the best performance, position your range extender halfway between your router and the area with weak Wi-Fi signal. This ensures optimal signal transmission and reception.
Entertainment Adapter Functionality
If your extender features an Ethernet port, it can also function as a wireless adapter. This allows you to connect wired devices like gaming consoles, smart TVs, or Blu-ray players to your Wi-Fi network.
