In Access Point mode, please connect your computer to the extender using an Ethernet cable and follow the steps below: 1. Visit http://tplinkrepeater.net, and log in with the password you set for the extender. 2. Go to Settings > Wireless > Wireless Settings to retrieve or reset your wireless password. Q4. What should I do if I can’t access the web management page? This can happen for a variety of reasons. Please try the methods below to log in again. • If your computer is wirelessly connected, make sure that you have connected to the extender’s SSID. • If your computer is connected via an Ethernet cable, please make sure that the connection is stable. • Make sure your computer is configured as Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain 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. • Use the IP address to access the extender. The default IP is 192.168.0.254. If the extender is connected to the router, you should go to your router’s DHCP client list to obtain the extender’s current IP address. • Reset the extender and try again. 33 Q5. I have enabled wireless MAC filter, wireless access control, or access control list (ACL) on my router. What should I do before configuring the extender? When a device connects through the extender to your router, the MAC address of the device shown on the router is translated to another MAC address. If your router’s MAC filter, wireless access control, or ACL is enabled, the devices connected to the extender cannot get an IP address from the extender and cannot access the Internet. To solve this problem, please follow the steps below: 1. Log in to your router and disable the MAC filter, wireless access control or ACL. Note: For more information about how to disable your router’s MAC filter, wireless access control or ACL, please refer to your router’s user guide. 2. Power on your extender, and run the Quick Setup to configure your extender. 3. Connect all of your devices to the extended network, and make sure the router’s Link LED remains lit. 4. On your router, add all the Online Devices’ MAC addresses to your router’s MAC filter table. 5. Enable the router’s MAC filter, wireless access control, or ACL to complete the configuration. 34 COPYRIGHT & TRADEMARKS Specifications are subject to change without notice. is a registered trademark of TP-Link Technologies Co., Ltd.
