Good explanation. Question: When configuring it as Access Point, do you have the same modem speed? That is, if I have contracted 100 MB, does the Access Point with WiFi provide me with the same 100 MB?
I have set mine up in access point mode with ethernet from my roiter. My router is at 200mbps download but when I connect the the TP-Link TL-WA850RE extender I only get 37 mbps
The only one who is stupid is the customer who bought TP-LINK range extender. Logic 101: Why do you need a range extender? Main wireless router signal does not reach. You buy this range extender and duh! The place you install it shows a red light which indicates too far. What were you thinking? So you buy a 100 foot CAT5 cable to connect to the router. Good luck trying to figure out how to connect a router port to this TP-LINK extender via CAT5 cable to make it an Access Point and get it all to work. Some genius made this video and voila. It all works wireless. Wonderful! Only why do I need an extender or access point to connect to the original source wireless when I can just connect directly to the original source wireless?
did everything the same as you. but the last step still shows internet disconnected for me. been trying same, still no solution. as advice as on what should be done??
If the main router has WiFi, Is it necessary to turn WiFi off? I use the extender as repeater but losses almost 50% of speed....so im trying the AP mode
It loses 50% of speed because it can't use duplex. It says it in the manual. All "Range Extenders" are like this. They are crappy products. Buy a proper access point (which this thing could be buy they inexplocably included an ethernet port that can't be used to wire it to a router)
No u have to reset it first, so it can transform to AP mode. However once u plug the cable from ur main router it will automatically turn to AP mode ..
I want to extend my wireless range to wireless again.... I did all the setup... But status says internet status unknown.... This is written in the first step on tp link web page.... Although i can access that internet fine when i connect direct to router.... Why is this happening
I connected still not working disabled dhcp enalbled it reseted it 3 times still no luck I connected the Ethernet port from the WiFi to the tp link is that what we have to do right? And even before it was wireless so why wire to wireless is it?
in acces point mode how can i set it to be the same as the router password and SSID? it is annoying enough to have two WIFI names. In extender mode it is possible to have the same two WIFI names and if I search for WIFI on one device then only 1 SSID is listed. this is what i want to set in acces point mode.
yes, it has a separate name and a separate password. however, the main router should be set to the DHCP server ON and the acces point should be set to OFF. so they do not interfere with each other's radio waves. but when setting up when we can choose between extender or acces point this is automatically set by the device.
Thanks for this tutorial - exactly what I needed and worked first time - much appreciated
Thanks!
Welcome!
Good explanation. Question: When configuring it as Access Point, do you have the same modem speed? That is, if I have contracted 100 MB, does the Access Point with WiFi provide me with the same 100 MB?
Thanks, it worked for me first time. Took less than 5 minutes. Big help, thanks
Thanks
Thanks for that tutorial ! It works !
Very clear and easy to follow - thank you :)
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you my darling🎉
so the access point needs to be a different name than the router wifi?
Thx a lot, rly helpful, exactly what I needed
Glad it helped
Wait do i need to connect the range extendor to the wifi router using a cable?
why yours tp-link settings meniu look different when mine, we both have same extenders? I still using that 20 years old GUI.
Requires hardware version 2 or higher.
Great help indeed. Thanks a lot.
thank you
Thanks 👍👍❤❤
Exactly what i need
thank you
It says in the manual that the ethernet port can't be used to connect to a router. So how does it connect to the router in "access point mode"?
It connects to an Ethernet port in the wall
I have set mine up in access point mode with ethernet from my roiter. My router is at 200mbps download but when I connect the the TP-Link TL-WA850RE extender I only get 37 mbps
Unique Ponde bruh it turns wired connection into a hotspot that’s what Ethernet is that’s how acces point mode works so are you stupid

Jack T. Umm it means like if you have Ethernet Ports on your wall like wired into your house and that comment was hella confusing
Why do you have no 5GHz on the top-link website. Is it because you have a modem that doesn’t support 5GHz? Thinking of buying one
I setup my RE into Access Point mode. But when i plugged in the Ethernet cable into the device, the internet status is unknown? How do i fix that?
Try to disable DHCP
@@mauriciocogo79 how?
same problem here! how to fix?
WORK PERFETLY! THANK YOU
bro do this mode offers you as a router? like if you don't have a router at home then can you use this extender via lan cable to make is as a router?
very irritating with no sound...
did everything the same as you. but the last step still shows internet disconnected for me. been trying same, still no solution. as advice as on what should be done??
Same
Did you fix it?

If I stay on default mode (Range extender) but I connect RJ45 cable from my main router this extender, does it cancel all this procedure ?
No u have to reset it first, so it can transform to AP mode. However once u plug the cable from ur main router it will automatically turn to AP mode ..
i do the same process its connected but internet is still not working
you reset factory default and do again
I want to extend my wireless range to wireless again.... I did all the setup... But status says internet status unknown.... This is written in the first step on tp link web page.... Although i can access that internet fine when i connect direct to router.... Why is this happening

I connected still not working disabled dhcp enalbled it reseted it 3 times still no luck I connected the Ethernet port from the WiFi to the tp link is that what we have to do right? And even before it was wireless so why wire to wireless is it?

Have you been able to solve this?
