Q1. What should I do if I cannot access the extender’s web 

management page?

Make sure your computer or smartphone has connected to the extender’s 

network, and not that of your router. If your router and extender share the same 

network name, connect your computer to the extender via an Ethernet cable, or 

use the Tether app.
If you are using a computer, make sure it is set to obtain an IP address and DNS 

server address automatically. 
Verify that 

http://tplinkrepeater.net

 or 

http://192.168.0.254

 is correctly entered 

in the web browser and press 

Enter

. Note that 

http://192.168.0.254

 applies only 

for extenders with factory default settings.  
Use another web browser and try again.
Reboot or reset the extender and try again.

If you are still having problems, contact our technical support.

Q2. What should I do if the         LED doesn’t turn solid on after 

completing setup via the Tether app or web browser?

You may have entered incorrect Wi-Fi passwords for your host networks during 

the configuration. Check the passwords and try again.

Make sure the extender is close to your router, preferably within 16 feet, and 

away from large electrical appliances.

If you have enabled wireless MAC filtering, wireless access control, or access 

control list (ACL) on your router, disable them first, then follow any method on the 

front page to complete the configuration.

Try setting up via the WPS button.

Reset the extender and go through the configuration again.

If you are still having problems, contact our technical support.

Q3. How do I reset the extender?

With the extender powered on, use a pin to press the 

Reset

 button for 1 second. 

The extender will reboot.
