Performing the TP-Link extender setup is not a nuclear science and can be done quite easily if you follow the instructions given below carefully and patiently. Having a Wifi extender is necessary if you wish to increase the internet connectivity range of your router. Thus, in today’s post, we shall discuss how we can set up a router extender in a few simple and necessary steps.
TP-Link wifi extender setup
- The first step is to turn off the router you are using along with the modem and computer.
- After that, you have to connect the modem to the router’s WAN port.
- You can use the Ethernet cable for connection purpose.
- Now, again use the Ethernet cable and plug it in the LAN port of the router.
- Connect the other end of the same cable to the computer.
- Once you connect these cables, you need to power on your router and computer.
- Wait for some time and then power on the modem.
- Next, go to the web access page of your router which is www.tp-Link.com/us.
- Log in using the admin details of your router.
- Further, enter the username and password very carefully.
Now, you need to check the status page and see if the details in the WAN tab are correct. This will let you know that the TP-Link extender setup is done successfully or not.
TP-Link range extender setup without WPS
- Plug-in the extender to the power socket.
- Connect it to your PC using the Ethernet cable.
- From your browser, go to the tplinklogin.net or TPlinkrepeater.net page.
- Here, tap on ‘Quick Setup’ and select your ‘Region’.
- Tap ‘Next’ once again to initiate the scanning of available networks.
- After it is done, click on the ‘Next’ option.
- Further, you’ll be prompted to enter the password.
- Do so, and click on the ‘Next’ option again.
This is how you do the TP-Link extender setup without the WPS button.
TP-Link extender not connecting to the router
If you are not able to connect the TP-Link extender to the router, then you can push the WPS button on your router and see if the WPS LED flashes or not. If it still does not work, then you can try to push this button once again and see if it works or not. You can also check that all the cables along with the power cable are connected successfully or not. After verifying all the connections, your wifi extender should connect successfully.
