Many homes experience the issue of having weak wireless signals in one or two rooms. A properly done TP-Link WiFi extender setup will make sure that your existing phasing out signals are repeated and extended to hard-to-reach spots. Be it a basement, upstairs bedroom, or backyard corner, a range extender can do wonders.

Plug in your extender next to the main router. Once it is turned on and the LED is solid, it is ready for configuration. You can now join the wireless network using the default settings through your smartphone or computer. At this time, you open a browser and type in the address tplinkrepeater.net where configuration of your device can be done. 

In the setup page, follow the steps in the TP-Link range extender setup wizard to select your wireless network, enter the password, and choose whether to extend the signal with the same SSID or a new one. Both work; using the same SSID makes it easier for devices to switch networks. 

Your job here is to move the device into a spot located halfway between the router and the area where it is dropping signal. Avoid areas with thick walls and surfaces, around microwaves, and cordless phones since these will wreak havoc on your performance.

Users sometimes complain about tplinkrepeater.net not opening. When this happens, consider trying the default IP address, and also be sure to connect to the right network. If it always keeps not opening, start over by resetting the device and begin the setup process again.

Updating the firmware regularly through the extender’s interface can help solve bugs you encounter and improve performance over time. Doing this consistently also helps ensure your extender and other devices will remain compatible with future routers or device updates.

Once you've done a complete TP Link wifi extender setup, you can finally enjoy unlimited streaming, seamless video calls, and steady gaming connection even in rooms farther away from your main router. A simple, straightforward way to make the most out of your internet connection, and inexpensive form of entertainment.
