We are going to explain the entire process, step by step, with the aim that you learn how to configure a TP Link device, thanks to which you will be able to end the barriers of Internet connection which are common both over long distances and in those cases where there are excess obstacles.
What is the TP Link WiFi repeater for?
WiFi connections are one of the best alternatives to be able to connect to the Internet from various devices such as computers, smartphones and tablets.
However, with respect to the cable connection, we can highlight two of the main ones, which are:
- The connection loses quality as we move away from the router.
- Depending on the range of the router, we can connect or not to the WiFi signal.
This obviously means that we can find ourselves in circumstances such as, for example, we live in a multi-story house, there are too many walls or elements that interrupt the signal, the distances are excessively long and the modem's WiFi connection does not reach all points, etc. .
In short, we are talking about situations in which we do not have a signal due to lack of range due to excessive distances, due to interruptions in the signal, or when it reaches us but with insufficient quality.
In addition to homes, this can occur in offices, educational centers and a long etc., which makes the situation complicated.
For this reason, we recommend that you take into account the possibility of installing a WiFi repeater.
A WiFi repeater or signal extender is what will allow the signal of that router do not stay in such a limited area, and do not see it so altered based on the elements that may obstruct it.
In this way, what we do is respect the signal and the environment of the router, but at the same time we add a new element that we will locate in the place where it is most appropriate, which will create a new connection from the first one, the which will have a much greater extension range and, in turn, will also improve the quality of the signal.
In short, with the TP Link WiFi repeater, you will be able to create a new connection point that will allow you to reach practically any corner, overcoming several floors, concrete and other obstacles, and of course long distances.
Set up TP Link Extender
As we can see, a WiFi repeater is a fantastic solution both for private use and for offices, companies, warehouses, educational centers and much more.
This means that it is very important that we learn how to configure our TP Link, so we have prepared this tutorial with all the details that you must take into account to carry out the process.
- Enter your Internet browser through your computer.
- Write the IP address of the device in the navigation bar, which, in our case, by default would be 192.168.1.1.
- Now we have to write our username and password, which must be written down in the device guide, and if not, we will try “admin” for both fields.
- We accept and in this way we will have accessed our TP Link device.
- In the window that appears, we click on “wireless".
- Now, on the left side we click on “Basics” and then in “Configure basic wireless parameters".
- On the screen that appears we have to enable the option «Enable Wireless«.
- We also enable «Broadcast SSID«.
- In the box called SSID, we have to enter a name for our new network, that is, it will be the name that will appear as if it were a new WiFi connection, so we must give a name that allows us to identify it.
- We indicate in which country we are carrying out the installation.
- We save the changes.
- Now we have to restart the router.
With these simple steps we will have done everything necessary to configure our TP Link extender, so now we only have to search for the connection as we would normally do when we are going to connect via WiFi on our device, we choose this network that we have created, and we will now be able to connect via WiFi with higher quality and from a higher scope of action.
