The powerline extender’s wireless network name (SSID), password, and security option
are preset in the factory. The preset SSID and password can be found on the product
label. You can customize the wireless settings according to your needs.
Tip:
If the extender is in your router’s OneMesh network, it will automatically copy wireless settings from your
router. No wireless settings is needed for the extender.
Connect to the powerline extender wirelessly. Visit http://tplinkplc.net, and log in with
the username and password you set for the extender.
Go to Wireless > Settings page.
To enable or disable the wireless function:
Select the box to enable the wireless function. Deselect the box to disable wireless
function. If disabled, all wireless settings will be ineffective.
To change the wireless network name (SSID) and password:
The default SSID is TP-Link_XXXX, and the default password is printed on the product
label. You can change the default ones by directly entering new ones in the field. SSID is
up to 32 characters, and the value in both SSID and password is case-sensitive.
Note:
Remember to write down the new SSID and password, for you will be disconnected when new settings are
effective.
To hide SSID:
Select Hide SSID, and your SSID will not be broadcasted. It won’t display when you scan
