A1: You may have entered the incorrect Wi-Fi password of your host network during the configuration. Log into the extenders web management page to check the password and try again.
A2: Reset the extender and go through the configuration again.
Q3. Why does the LED not turn solid green or orange after I completed Option TWO?
A1: Make sure your computer is connected to the extended network. A2: Make sure your computer is set to obtain an IP address automatically. A3: Use the IP address to access the extender. The default IP is 192.168.0.254. If the
extender has connected to the router, you should go to your routers DHCP client list to obtain the extenders current IP address.
A4: Reset the extender and connect to its wireless network, enter http://tplinkrepeater.net or 192.168.0.254 in the web browser and press Enter.
If the problem still exists, please refer to the FAQs (NO. 931 & NO. 504) at www.tp-link.com for detailed instructions.
Q1. What should I do if I cannot access the extenders web management page?
A: While the extender is powered on, use a pin to press the RESET button, the LED should turn off momentarily, then release the button.
Q2. How do I reset the extender?
A: If your host routers wireless MAC filter, wireless access control, or access control list (ACL) is enabled, you may need further settings on the router so that devices connected to the extended Wi-Fi have no problem to access the Internet. For details, please visit www.tp-link.com and refer to the FAQ section in the extenders User Guide.
Q4. 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?
