If you want to use a specific IP address appropriate to your network demand, please refer to the steps below. IP Address: Enter the IP address in dotted-decimal notation (192.168.0.254 by default). Subnet: Enter the subnet mask in dotted-decimal notation that determines the size of the network (255.255.255.0 by default). Default Gateway: Enter the gateway that is in the same subnet as the IP address in dotted-decimal notation. It is usually the LAN IP address of your router. Click Save to save the settings. We do NOT recommend you change the IP address unless you are quite sure about the IP setting for special network demand. Random changes may lead to Internet disconnection. Launch a web browser and type in http://tplinkrepeater.net, and then go to Settings->Network webpage. Select Use the following IP address, and then enter the IP address and gateway manually. DHCP Server DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The DHCP Server will automatically assign dynamic IP addresses to the devices on the network. This protocol simplifies network management and allows new wireless devices to be set to IP addresses automatically. Manage the Extended Network and Security Settings To use the DHCP server function of the device, you should configure all computers in the LAN as "Obtain an IP Address automatically" mode. Settings ● Set the DHCP Server status to Auto (by default) When the DHCP Server is Auto, the extender automatically detects to find the devices enabling the DHCP Server.

How do I restore my extender’s configuration to its factory default settings? There are two ways to reset the extender: ● ● Option One: With the extender powered on, use a pin to press and hold the RESET button until all LEDs turn on momentarily, then release the button. Option Two: Restore the default settings Пrom “System Tools > Restore & Backup” of the extender's Web Management page. Once the extender is reset, the current configuration settings will be lost and you will need to reconfigure it. web-browser, enter the default domain http://tplinkrepeater.net in the address field and get logged in. If you are unable to log in, please RESET the device, and then use the default IP address to get into the web-based configuration page, reconfigure the device. ● Feel free to contact our technical support if the problem still persists. T4. I enabled a wireless MAC filter, wireless access control, or access control list (ACL) on my router. What should I do before configuring and using 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. T2. What can I do if I forget my password? ● Restore the extender’s configuration to its factory default settings. If you don’t know how to do that, please refer to previous T1; ● Use the default username and password: admin, admin; ● Try to reconfigure your extender by following the instructions of this guide. For morО inПormation about Сoа to disablО вour routОr’s MAC filter, wireless access control or ACL, please refer to вour routОr’s usОr РuidО. 2.

Connect all of your devices to the extended network, and make sure tСО routОr’s Link LED rОmains lit. 4. On your router, add all the OnlinО DОvicОs’ MAC addrОssОs to вour routОr’s MAC ПiltОr tablО. 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; otherwise, check the connections again. ● Try to obtain an IP address and gateway; if succeed, open your Log into your router and disable the MAC filter, wireless access control or ACL Appendix 5. EnablО tСО routОr’s MAC ПiltОr, аirОlОss accОss control, or ACL. Now, you have successfully configured your extender. General T5. How can I know that my wireless signal has been boosted by extender? An easy way is to compare the signal strength of your target wireless network (symbolized by its SSID), with extender in operation vs. out of opОration. BОПorО comparison, вou’d better make sure your computer can obtain an IP address from your target wireless network and thus access the Internet, either via extender or without. T6. Will the extender work if I connect its ETHERNET port to the router via Ethernet cable? Sorrв, it аon’t аork. TСО 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.

Why does the wireless transmission rate speed down, while the wireless signal is stronger after repeated by extender? 11n up to 300Mbps 11g 54/48/36/24/18/12/9/6Mbps 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.

MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to allow for increased data throughput via spatial multiplexing and increased range by exploiting the spatial diversity, perhaps through coding schemes like Alamouti coding. The Enhanced Wireless Consortium (EWC) was formed to help accelerate the IEEE ● Access Point (Range Extender) - A wireless LAN transceiver or "base station" that can connect a wired LAN to one or many wireless devices. Access points can also bridge to each other. DNS (Domain Name System) – An Internet Service that translates the names of websites into IP addresses. ● Domain Name - A descriptive name for an address or group of addresses on the Internet. ● DoS (Denial of Service) - A hacker attack designed to prevent your computer or network from operating or communicating. ● DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) - A technology that allows data to be sent or received over existing traditional phone lines. ● ISP (Internet Service Provider) - A company that provides access to the Internet. ● MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) - The size in bytes of the largest packet that can be transmitted. ● SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to communicate with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This is typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID in the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name. ● WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit or 152-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard. ● Wi-Fi –A trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance and the brand name for products Appendix using the IEEE 802.11 family of standards. ● WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associated devices communicate with each other wirelessly, which network serving users are limited in a local area. ● WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) - WPA is a security technology for wireless networks that improves on the authentication and encryption features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). In fact, WPA was developed by the networking industry in response to the shortcomings of WEP. One of the key technologies behind WPA is the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP addresses the encryption weaknesses of WEP. Another key component of WPA is built-in authentication that WEP does not offer. With this feature, WPA provides roughly comparable security to VPN tunneling with WEP, with the benefit of easier administration and use. This is similar to 802.1x support and requires a RADIUS server in order to implement. The Wi-Fi Alliance will call this, WPA-Enterprise. One variation of WPA is called WPA Pre Shared Key or WPA-Personal for short - this provides an authentication alternative to an expensive RADIUS server. WPA-Personal is a simplified but still powerful form of WPA most suitable for home Wi-Fi networking. To use WPA-Personal, a person sets a static key or "passphrase" as with WEP. But, using TKIP, WPA-Personal automatically changes the keys at a preset time interval, making it much more difficult for hackers to find and exploit them. The Wi-Fi Alliance will call this, WPA-Personal. Appendix
