T4. How can I know that my wireless signal has been repeated and boosted by RE200?
An easy way is to compare the signal strength of your target wireless network (symbolized by
its SSID), with RE200 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 RE200 or without.
T5. Will the Range Extender work if I connect the ETHERNET port of it to the router via
Ethernet cable?
Sorry, it won't work. The Range 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 RE200?
In compliance with the wireless transmission protocol, all the Range Extender devices are set
to work in half-duplex instead of full-duplex mode. In other words, the Range 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 Range Extender when your home network
connection is poor, or when you want a larger wireless coverage to eliminate "dead zones".
