TP-LINK is a renowned brand in Vietnam, known for its feature-rich modems. In today's article, we will explore how to extend WiFi range with TP-LINK, turning your TP-LINK WiFi modem into an extremely simple WiFi Repeater. This method can be applied in scenarios where wired connections are not feasible.
Certainly, direct WiFi transmission from a wired network yields better quality compared to setting up WiFi signal extension. However, in certain situations where it's not feasible, we can resort to setting up WiFi to extend the signal like this Repeater method.
Guide to Boosting WiFi Signal with TP-LINK
Step 1: First, access the TP-LINK address to reach the WiFi setup section, typically 192.168.0.1.
Note: Connect the WiFi you're using to boost with TP-LINK to your laptop.
Here, log in with the username and password admin / admin.
Step 2: After successfully logging in to TP-LINK, navigate to the Network section to check your network status.
Step 3: In the Lan section, you can adjust the IP to something other than 192.168.0.1, such as 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.3.1 if the original WiFi or the WiFi you're extending is already using the IP address 192.168.0.1.
Step 4: Next, go to the Wireless section > select Wireless settings and set a name for the WiFi, then save the settings.
Step 5: Continue to access the Wireless Security section, where you'll set a regular password with security type WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK. Remember to save after setting up.
Step 6: Return to the Wireless Settings section, where you'll select Enable WDS. This feature enables us to boost WiFi signal with TP-LINK.
