Hello Tp-link users!

Installing a tp-link extender is easy when you are equipped with the right information and follow the standard guidelines. This blog will help you set up a link extender with the existing router at your home.

In this post, you will learn about the default IP of your tp link extender and the alternative URL i.e. tplinkreperter.net.

A TP-Link range extender will help you boost signal strength for your existing router and the access point Network. Nowadays, most routers come with good coverage capabilities. However, if you have a spacious home with multiple storeys to cover, a range extender is the best option.

Let’s get started on how you can set up a tp link range extender using tplinkrepeater.net.

Note- If you have an older tp link extender that you are trying to set up again, please consider a hard reset on it before installation.

Things You Need

A majority of range extenders are plug and play devices. However, there are a few things you will need before you begin installing a tplinkrepeater or doing tplinklogin.

●     an ethernet cable (optional)

●     main wireless device (wireless router) & information about wireless such as network name (SSID), wireless password, encryption type.

●     default IP known as default gateway for tp-link range extender.

●     device with a full browser such as chrome, firefox, safari, etc.

●     working router and internet connection.

Look at the back or the bottom of your tp-link extender, you can see a label that contains default SSID(network name) & password for your new extender. You can also look for a configuration card under the box of tp-link router for the same information.

Let’s get started and install the tplinkrepeater:

Using www.tplinkrepeater.net for setup

1. Plug your tp link range extender to a power outlet near to your wireless router.

Power it on then wait for 20 seconds for it to boot up & so the lights on the repeater can go solid.

Tip- If you are using a smartphone or tablet to set up a TP-Link range extender, turn on the WiFi on your device. In case you are using a laptop, please disconnect any ethernet cables connected to it & make sure the wireless is turned on in the laptop.

2. Go to your computer & smartphone and refresh the available network list. You should be able to see a new unsecured tp-link network, please connect with it.

3. It should automatically take you to tplinkrepeater.net portal for configuration or you can open the browser manually and type 192.168.0.254 or tplinkrepeater.net and hit enter.

 4. The setup page will present itself and may ask for default username & password for tp link extender. Please type admin in the username and password section. Use small caps as the password is case sensitive.

5. Follow the onscreen quick-step guide & hit next.

6. In the next step, select your region and press Next. The extender will search for the available network around you. Select the name of the one that corresponds to your main network (the wireless that you would like to extend).

Configuring the tplink repeater network

7. Enter the wireless password of your existing wireless router & click next.

8. The next screen will let you choose the security type, network name(SSID) for your new extended network. You can customize the network name & password & security mode.

9. Setup a different password if you want for your extender or leave it as it is. You can always change it by logging into the tp link extender console. Review the settings & click on the finish button.

10. The extender will reboot and save the settings. After a minute please unplug the extender & plug it somewhere between the place where you were having problems receiving the signals.

Now you will be able to see solid LED lights on the extender, which means the setup was successful. Use the password to connect with your new extender & enjoy extended wireless network.

Tip- Make sure you place your extender not far than 30-35 meters from the main wireless router.

In any case, if the setup fails to work please reset tplink range extender to default settings & configure it again using www.tplinkrepeater.net web address.
