The first thing you need to do with these TP Extender's is to Reset them! I wasted lots of time setting the 850RE up (and another similar TP model). So as a last resort, I plugged it in and held a biro tip on the reset pin for 2 secs until I got some blinking. Then I unplugged, re-plugged next to my router and used the Method 2 IP setup. It worked first time then.A 5 minute job in the end, once you know how.
Absolute hero! who knew all i had to do after tearing my hair out after 10 resets was connect to it from a computer and not the dang tether app on my phone!
We just got a new more powerful modem/router, now I have to reset the two extenders - Arhhh, Hope your instructions work… the first time was easy, because they were new. Now I feel I have forgotten how to do it. Wish me luck 🍀
My extender WAS working fine. After a power outage, it lost the extended signal. Brought it back closer to the router. Plugged it in to Electricity and pushed the restart button on it with a sharp object until only one light was on. Then, pushed my WPS button on my router and pushed the middle white button on the extender. It took a few times to do repeat the entire process (even resetting the extender again) but it finally worked all ALL lights are on the extender. I moved it back to its extended location, and 80% of the lights came back on after a minute or so in this location.
+TP LINK +TPS report, yeahhhh. Bestest-est video explanation for this. My curiosity was with the WPS "handshake" connection then loss of power (unplugging the extender... Would the router recognize the extender or would you need to reestablish the "handshake" connection. You answered this PERFECTLY with visual, when you unplugged and replugged the extender to the outlet. The admin access portion was helpful as well. If I were in the woods inside of a nylon structure, I would be a "happy camper" at this moment.
Just watched two vids on to how to set up extender, the first was long boring and not so laymen terms,second was this video shorter quicker nice voice which I had no problem listening to. Much better video for this extender!
What if the wireless light is only solid. It doesn't change, despite me resetting it and unplugging it. I think it may be faulty or just a shite product.
I got one of those. I set it up the way it is described in this video (my router has the WPS button). All the lights behaved exactly as they were supposed to. But when I look at the Wifi reception of devices in the 2nd room to where the router is, there is zero variation in wifi reception (they're still with 40% or less reception, which is completely unchanged from not using the device at all). I also tried setting up this extender everywhere between the way to see if that was the issue but with no results. edit: Never mind, I just got a 20% increase in reception. It's kind of underwhelming though 😅
To anyone having trouble using these methods, I figured out the easiest method. If you have an Ethernet cable laying around, plug one end in the router and one in the Ethernet port on the extender...wait a few minutes and they should connect!
I did step 2 since my modem doesnt have WPS and the setup never goes past the rebooting of the exteder. I already stayed in the same step for over 10 minutes and nothing happens. Any suggestions?
Wow that was so easy Thank you so much. the other one's that the company sent me is So "F" up I tried and couldn't get it to work, this one only took me 20 seconds WOW where are the people that have common sense
After configuring and when a device is connect to the range extender will it get the same IP subnet as the router or would it create a separate network like a repeater?
Any suggestions how to set the time in a TL-WA854RE ? The menu seems to have no option, yet I can only define "France" as my location and the system log is always one hour off as if it syncs with GMT 😞
I can't even being to describe the problems I have had with this device it connects and stays fine for a while but then it disconnects and then I have to restart my god damn router because even with the extender unplugged, it stil won't connect.
If u have this problem, it is because; 1. You placed your wifi extender in a dead zone spot simply place it closer to the router. 2. Your router’s wps is off in the routers setting. (Look below for sollution) 3. Your router’s signal sends a 5.0Ghz signal while the extender is a 2.4Ghz signal. Simply change the settings. Look below how. 4. Your router is old and you should buy a new one To fix option 2 or 3 go to 192.168.1.1 on a internet browser, fill in username and password, this is twice admin or twice user. Somewhere in this setings menu u can enable wps and/or change your signal to 2.4Ghz. Thank me later The extender is not the problem here.
I want to set my pc up wirelessly, if I unplug it, I wont be able to log onto the TP link website, so how am i supposed to set it up? Any help with this will be appreciated. Im on Virgin, can I connect and set up then change my wifi?
For some reason the connection goes out on the extended when there is still a connection near the router. Is that a problem for you? And if so how did you fix it?
Nine years after this video was created, I was given one of these second hand.
This video is still completely valid in every respect. Excellent work.
Thanks for sharing this

Thanks a lot, this was really helpful! I love it when I solve my own technology issues without crying out to my kids 👍😀
Just picked up one of these yesterday, worked like a charm. Have it in the garage for better signal.
Simple, easy to understand and really helpful video, thanks :)
The second method worked for me in 2023. Thank you.
You and your video rock! The company needs to put your CZcams link in their instructions manual
Absolute hero! who knew all i had to do after tearing my hair out after 10 resets was connect to it from a computer and not the dang tether app on my phone!
Great video! Very efficient, thanks for your help :)
I watched a lot of videos this one was the most useful
Thank you mate, me and my father had trouble setting up our router and extender the whole night before seeing this
Thanks so much. This was clear and well explained. And best of all. It worked! Thanks again.
We just got a new more powerful modem/router, now I have to reset the two extenders - Arhhh,

+TP LINK
+TPS report, yeahhhh.
Bestest-est video explanation for this.

Mua ở đâu
Thank you my friend, you have just saved me from hopping the extender off the wall :)
Mate can you do the configuration from a mobile phone?
You are fabulous - Thank you for doing this!! : )
Good instructions problem resolved folloing your lead...well done.
Just watched two vids on to how to set up extender, the first was long boring and not so laymen terms,second was this video shorter quicker nice voice which I had no problem listening to.
Much better video for this extender!
Thank you so much from Mark.s in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦
I upgraded its firmware. Its working without dropping the signal now. Mine is V3. So check sticker on the repeater before downloading the firmware
@jax walsh yt i just downloaded the app and it updated the settings
Best how to on CZcams thanks!!
Got mine,working well
What if the wireless light is only solid. It doesn't change, despite me resetting it and unplugging it. I think it may be faulty or just a shite product.
same
It seems to work for me if it's not flashing anyways. Tried it with the solid blue, pushed the button down for a few secs and is now working :)
B Kay after the blinking stops and after i relocated the extender. which internet should i connect? the extender or the main wifi?
Mumbo Jumbo Obviously your neighbors wifi....
shit productfor sure
Thank you so much! You made this so easy. Method #2 totally worked! : )
Very well explained installation process
Thank you very much. This was really useful! All the best
I've had mine for 2years and it works great
does it divide your internet speed also like for e.g you have 30mbps and while plugging the extender it reduce it to 15-17mbps???
sameer boodoo that is what looks to have done to mine
is there any way to up or low signal strength?
I don't think so
hooliemack33 maybe any way to turn it off when i dont need it(at night when i am sleeping to avoid radiation or what else is this)
Thank you. Worked successfully
Thank you a lot, you help us so much with this video! :)
Bro thank you so much we aunt git a wps button so i did the second way and it worked im very happy that i found this video thx😊
Thank you very much .From Greece!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I use wps wireless and re is flashing and is doesn’t go solid blue
did all this, i just see "no internet" help!
You, sir is my hero..! Thanks..
Excellent thank you, fast and it worked :)
To anyone having trouble using these methods, I figured out the easiest method. If you have an Ethernet cable laying around, plug one end in the router and one in the Ethernet port on the extender...wait a few minutes and they should connect!
I found this video very help full thank you 👍
Very useful bro..thanks alot
How about if i want to use an ethernet cable? Why did you leave that one out?
Not a good idea brother.
Other methods are better anyway.
Still you want to use Ethernet, go plug it and you are good to go:-)
Thank you ,Use methode 2 working fine :D
Thank you so much it worked for me and easily worked for PS4 thank you 👍🏼!!!
Abdurrahmaan hussain how did u set it up on your ps4 ?

The Speed is Good??

Wow that was so easy Thank you so much. the other one's that the company sent me is So "F" up I tried and couldn't get it to work, this one only took me 20 seconds WOW where are the people that have common sense
thank you so much bro.
I plugged t in and the fucker worked simple.
After configuring and when a device is connect to the range extender will it get the same IP subnet as the router or would it create a separate network like a repeater?

Thank you your a life saver (:
thank you. video helped so much!
Can't seem to find my TL Extender, so I can't even connect to it ?
Thanks man it helped
Any suggestions how to set the time in a TL-WA854RE ? The menu seems to have no option, yet I can only define "France" as my location and the system log is always one hour off as if it syncs with GMT 😞
Nice it works
When I get to the step at 2:13 it's says login incorrect

thank you, really helped
cheers for the guide
Thanks, You earned a new Sub :)
Hi, very good if not the best explanation! Now I’ve got a question? How to turn the leds off ?
Thanks
I can't even being to describe the problems I have had with this device it connects and stays fine for a while but then it disconnects and then I have to restart my god damn router because even with the extender unplugged, it stil won't connect.
I'm having the exact same problem. Please tell me you figured it out. Please respond.
same, a total waste of money. and whatever i try, it just can not connect to the Router.
If u have this problem, it is because;
1. You placed your wifi extender in a dead zone spot simply place it closer to the router.
2. Your router’s wps is off in the routers setting. (Look below for sollution)
3. Your router’s signal sends a 5.0Ghz signal while the extender is a 2.4Ghz signal. Simply change the settings. Look below how.
4. Your router is old and you should buy a new one
To fix option 2 or 3 go to 192.168.1.1 on a internet browser, fill in username and password, this is twice admin or twice user. Somewhere in this setings menu u can enable wps and/or change your signal to 2.4Ghz.
Thank me later
The extender is not the problem here.
Nice Video !
At what least distance is required this extender to be connect with main router in order to maintain the signal with the main router
Can I connect my desktop pc to eithernet port for internet
I want to set my pc up wirelessly, if I unplug it, I wont be able to log onto the TP link website, so how am i supposed to set it up? Any help with this will be appreciated. Im on Virgin, can I connect and set up then change my wifi?
download the tp link app and you dont need the site
Thanks man!
Hello. My router only has a QSS button. Does it work as a WPS.?
If you have connection problems or whatsoever, just buy a FritZbox extender. I think They make the best Extenders in the world.
Thank You! Good video, better than the one from the company. Thumbs Up!
This video worked for me but the wireless LED was solid, not blinking. Everything else worked the same. What's the difference?
This video help me.
I lost the instructions and you saved my ass ty
How about if you're configuring the repeater with a PC that doesn't have wifi. It should be possible to configure it over a standard lan cable.
my wireless doesn’t blink it’s just a solid blue
I have the same problem. Did you figure it out perhaps?
For some reason the connection goes out on the extended when there is still a connection near the router. Is that a problem for you? And if so how did you fix it?
