Setting up the TP-Link Extender with/without WPS is a really easy process but it does take some time and consideration. So before doing any of the technical stuff, you need to find a place where you want your extender to be.
Placement
Placing your Wifi Extender is really simple, but you need to be careful. That is because, in any scenario, the extender signal will be blocked by walls, or get interfered by other waves. So you need to plan carefully about the place you want your extender to be. The simplest way you can do so is by figuring out where exactly you need it.
First, take out your house layout and mark a place you want your signal to be. Now mark the place where the router is located. Now take your extender and place it somewhere in the middle of both places. Also, try to place it into an open area for better range.
Setup
Before you start setting up your TP-Link Extender, you must know a few things.
- IP Address
- SSID
- Password
If you don’t know about any of it then, open Command Prompt and type in ipconfig/all. Here you will all the required information. Now, type in that IP address in your browser and log in to your router. If you are still unable to log in, contact your Internet service provider for support.
Now, it is time to set your Tp-Link Extender. Basically there are two ways of doing that. But it also depends on your TP-Link Extender. If your Extender has a WPS button follow the second method for TP Link wifi extender setup with wps and if it does not then follow the first one.
