Chapter 3 Customize Your Network

¾ To enable or disable the extended network:

1. Go to Settings > Wireless > Extended Network.

2. Extended networks are enabled by default. If you want to disable the wireless

function of a certain band, just clear the Enable checkbox. In this case, all the wireless

settings of this band will be invalid.

¾ To change the wireless network name (SSID):

1. Go to Settings > Wireless > Extended Network.

2. Create a new SSID in Extended 2.4GHz SSID or click Copy Host SSID. The value is case-

sensitive.

Note:

If you change the wireless settings via a wireless device, you will be disconnected after the settings are applied.

Please write down the new SSID for future use.

¾ To hide the SSID of the extended network:

1. Go to Settings > Wireless > Extended Network.

2. Select Hide SSID broadcast, and the corresponding SSID will not be displayed when

wireless devices scan for local wireless networks. Devices must join the network

manually in order to connect.

3. 3. Change LAN Settings

The extender is preset with a default LAN IP 192.168.0.254, with which you can log in to

the web management page. The LAN IP address, together with the Subnet Mask, also

defines the subnet that the connected devices are on. If the IP address conflicts with

another device on your local network or your network requires a specific IP subnet, you

can change it.

1. Visit http://tplinkrepeater.net, and log in with the username and password you set for

the extender.

2. Go to Settings > Network.

3. Select Use the following IP address.

4. Enter a new IP Address as needed and leave the Subnet Mask as the default settings

and enter the gateway that is in the same subnet as the IP address. The gateway is

usually the LAN IP address of your extender.
