This tutorial will guide you to set up your TP-Link router as a wireless access point, which could transform your existing wired network into a wireless network and extend your network coverage.
Perfect video. no nonsense. straight to the point. Subscribed. worked like a charm. I had the operation mode in access point tplink, and once i set that, everything worked automatically after that.
this is awesome thank you, I was confused when TP link said we can just connect the main router to second router through WAN , I thought method 2 was the only way. Now i know they have method 1 came in handy for some router
For Non-operation mode for the Tp-Link vr600v wireless router, I changed the IP, left it on DSL mode, turned on DHCP relay, and it finally provided internet as an access point.
Thank you for your excellent video! Can a router like AX20 be used as a wifi extender? I mean, the router to be connected wirelessly to the main modem.
This is a miracle video. I just finished the very same setup with method 2. I have just on problem, the secondary router lives downstairs with my neighbours and I want to ensure they do not add more devices without my authentication. How can I access the admin page of the second router from the main router that live with me upstairs.
Thanks for this video, i've been looking for a solution for my home network. Coz my wifi is not reaching my room but there's a ethernet cable on the wall that i can use for access point. Question is if i connect my Pc to the access point through Lan cable, can i still use the wifi for my mobile phones and tablets? Thanks for the response.
Router mode interrupts with you main router. It's advisable to use it as access point mode ir range extender because it won't interrupt with the main modem or router.
@@rsorez329 sorry my explanation was kinda confusing. Don't use it as router mode because it can interrupt with your main modem. I use it as Access point or Range Extender and I had no problem at all with those settings.
@@eddyjayarsinahon8433Hi, I have a question. How can I make my main router focus only on (prioritize) my PC, and the router that works as an access point (for my guests) doesn't interfere with the performance of the main router? Because I notice every time many people use the internet, the connected devices cause my internet to experience packet loss and it bothers me a bit.
I have a question… I don’t know much about extenders.. if I connect my router to the extender through Ethernet, can I use the “Ethernet internet” to create a new WiFi through the extender, while my routers wireless WiFi is turned off? I’ll appreciate every answer 🙏🏻
My main router is downstairs and I am trying to use my tplink router as an extender. How do I got about this if I can't connect both routers with an internet cable
I have a "TP link archer c6 router" My main router with Internet has its DHCP turned on... And when I change the LAN ip address of the secondary router (tp link) and then disable DHCP in tp link router (2nd router) and then connect a cable from main router to a lan port of the tp link router... There is no Internet.... Idk why it's not working
I tried. the AP router connected with internet. but the internet access is limited. i can watch youtube. but i could not use internet banking, ebay. and some web could not connected. why this happened?
Essalam Alaykoum, Hello Bro, thank you very much for all these details, please tell me, could we use the same parameters to configure the Archer VR300 and VR600 routers? THANKS
Okey this might be a stupid question but if i connect the tp link router to a router with 2.4GHz does the 5GHz work on the tp link or is it not faster than the router its linhed to??
How do I keep one single WiFi name or connection with multiple access points. Here it is having separate WiFi name to connect either using access point or router mode.
For first time I found that the Router Mode was working when connecting to the main router. But later months it's had issues like dropping connection, terribly slowing down internet speed that unable to run the speed test etc. Only after changing to Access Point mode this problem was resolved. However, I didn't have have dynamic IP anymore when connecting to the internet in Access Point mode. In such mode only assigned static IP provided by the main router (inspite of DHCP enabled in this router). DHCP setting also greyed out in TP-link. Is there a means to have dynamic IP to all the devices connected to TP-link ? or any possibility to change back to Router Mode again ?
Tried both the methods, i am getting very less speed around 96mbps, main router is AX73 and 2nd router is archer C5. help me to resolve the issue..... from main router i am getting around 400mbps
You said it's wireless... but in the last the wire shows connected to each other router.. I need wireless connectivity for extended router. Pls tell the method. Thanks
You should try to read up and get a better understanding of Wi-Fi and connections. I don't mean that in a bad way I just mean it's rather confusing unless you have a little more knowledge. however it can all easily be found online. in order to extend or boost the Wi-Fi you have to have Wi-Fi. so if you were talking about extending it with a router you need an ethernet cable or you need to get one with a Poe switch so you don't have to plug it in but you're still going to need the ethernet cord. otherwise you're talking about a range extender or something that just plugs in. not a router. look into Wi-Fi range extenders and mesh systems
what if the ip address of the tplink access point router is by default different from main router, do we still need to change ip of access point router?
hello, can i connect 4 access point on my main router? example I connect 1 AX23 to my Main Router and then I connect another AX23 on my first AX23 and so on its like I bridge 4 access point but only on is connected to the Main Router. Main Router > AX23 > AX23 > AX23 > AX23?
I have madearcher a6 5ghz wds bridge with airtel xstreme fiber router.I think it is CG nated but ip is in 122. range.I have one synology nas to lan network.Not able to port forward or DMZ is not working i think.Can you help me out pls❤
The WAN port in a router is used to connect the router to the internet or a modem. It is used to receive data from the internet and distribute it to the devices connected to the router. On the other hand, LAN ports are used to connect devices within a local network. They are used to transfer data between devices connected to the router. In the Access Point mode, the WAN port is not used. Instead, the router is connected to the internet via a LAN port. This is because the router is not responsible for routing traffic in this mode. It is only responsible for providing wireless access to devices connected to it. In the LAN settings, the WAN port is also not used. Instead, the router is connected to the internet via a modem. The modem is connected to the WAN port of the router. The LAN ports are used to connect devices within the local network
@@thinkdeeperdeeper3147 thanks for the explanation but you didn't understand either my question or the video. you said "In the Access Point mode, the WAN port is not used" but the video clearly shows the WAN port being used. i'm talking about the tp-link router, not the main router.
@@joegame4576the video is not accurate when making the router an access point (AP) connect the two routers lan to lan not lan to wan. So the Ethernet cable would be connected to main router lan port and to second routers lan port (not the second routers wan port). Hope this clears ur doubt.
I'ts not posible use ther rotuer as full bridge switch, have the full potentiality of the wifi and the 4lan disponibly for connect multiples devises in all in the same network as the main router?
TP-Link provides "Operation Mode" menu and enables the WAN port to work similar to LAN-LAN in "AP mode" and still provide 4 LAN ports to be used. In regular router which doesn't have that menu, you have to use the second method because WAN port is still WAN port and you need LAN port to connect both routers so that leaves you 3 LAN ports to use.
I cannot log in to the management page.. It tells me that the log on is not the same as the router password. I have tried to reset the router but nothing happens it still will not let me in. I have tried admin, but now it tells me i have 4 attempts left or it will lock me out. Any ideas.. the unit was second hand.
bro, the default security of the router is incorrect, i cant connect to it, i'd try to reset it, but still cant get into it, do you know the solution? thanks in advance!
