Option Two: Log into the extender's Web-based Management page, and
go to
System Tools > Restore & Backup
page, click
Factory Restore
.
T2. What can I do if I forget my login password?
Restore the extender to its factory d
efault settings. If you don’t know
how to do that, please refer to previous
T1
;
Use the default admin for both username and password to log in.
Reconfigure your extender by following the instructions of this guide.
T3. What can I do if I cannot access the web management page?
●
Check to verify all the connections (either wireless or wired ones) are
proper. If yes, please proceed to the next step;
●
Try to obtain an IP address and gateway; if succeed, open your web-
browser, and log into
http://tplinkrepeater.net
. If you are unable to log
in, please RESET the device, and then use the default IP address to log
into web management page, reconfigure the device.

Feel free to contact our technical support, if the problem still persists
.
T4. How can I know that my wireless signal has been repeated and boosted
by the extender?
An easy way is to compare the signal strength of your target wireless
network (symbolized by its SSID), with the extender in operation vs. out of
operation. Before
comparison, you’d better make sure your computer can
obtain an IP address from your target wireless network and thus access the
Internet, either via the extender or without.
T5. Will the extender work if I connect the ETHERNET port of it to the router
via Ethernet cable?
Sorry, it won’t work. The extender is designed to connect wirelessly to the
router, while the ETHERNET port is designed to connect with a wired
device, like Internet TV, Gaming console, DVR and so on.
T6. Why does the wireless transmission rate speed down, while the wireless
signal is stronger after repeated by the extender?
In compliance with the wireless transmission protocol, all the extender
devices are set to work in half-duplex instead of full-duplex mode. In other
words, the extender has to process one-way communication between your
root Wireless router (or AP) and the terminal clients; so the transmission
time will be double-increased, while the speed will be decreased. TP-LINK
recommends that you connect to the extender when your home network
connection is poor, or when you want a larger wireless coverage to
eliminate “dead zones”.
