Set Up the Extender Via the Tether App
1. Plug in the extender about halfway between your router and the Wi-Fi dead
zone. The location you choose must be within the range of your router.
2. Wait for about 2 minutes until the LED turns solid blue. If it doesn't,
relocate the extender closer to the router to achieve better signal quality.
Enjoy!
Connect your devices to the extender wirelessly or via an Ethernet cable,
then enjoy the internet. The password of your extended network is the
same as your host router.
Tip: For more intuitive location assistance, access extender settings via the Tether app and go to
Tools > Location Assistant.
Tip: You can also set up the extender in Access Point mode to transform your existing wired
network to a wireless one. For details, refer to the user guide at https://www.tp-link.com/support.
