Due to Covid, people are at home more than ever to combat this disease. With more people indoors, you may run into drop-spots or dead-zone areas that have no WiFi. With the TP-Link N300, you can eliminate those problems easily.

Below is our complete guide on setting up your WiFi extender. We also provide troubleshooting tips to keep your extender device operational.

    (You can confirm this with your mobile phone or computer).
  2. Plug the TL-WA855RE WiFi Extender in a wall-socket close to the router.
    (You want to make sure your router and extender are not too far apart).
  3. Using your Mobile Phone or Wireless on your Computer, go to your available WiFi networks and select TP-Link_Extender.
  4. Head over to your Web Browser (Chrome, Edge, FireFox, etc.) and type in http://tplinkrepeater.net or http://192.168.0.254. Create a password to log in.
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup of your WiFi extender.

Connect using the Tether App
