The extender can be used as a wireless adapter to connect any Ethernet-only device such as a Blu-ray player, game console, DVR, or smart TV to your Wi-Fi network.
First, connect the extender to your router using one of the methods on the front page. You can then connect your device to the extender via an Ethernet cable.

Q1. What should I do if I cannot access the extender's web

Make sure your computer or smartphone has connected to the extender's
network, and not that of your router.
If you are using a computer, unplug the Ethernet cable if any. Make sure your
computer is set to obtain an IP address and 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.
Reset the extender and try again.

Q3. What should I do if the RE LED doesn't become solid on after
completing Method 2 or 3?
You may have entered incorrect Wi-Fi password for your host network during the
configuration. Check the password and try again.
Reset the extender and go through the configuration again.
Q4. I have enabled wireless MAC filtering, wireless access control,
or access control list (ACL) on my router. What should I do
before configuring the extender?
If you have enabled those features of your host router, you may need to disable
them first, and then follow any method on the front page to complete the
configuration.
