[Tl-wda5532re] How do I use a mobile phone to set up a wireless extender?

Application Introduction

Wireless Extender is a Wi-Fi signal amplifier, it is the role of your home, office and other environments have but the weak wireless Wi-Fi to enhance the amplification, so that each corner has a strong signal.

Extender usage Effects - Zoom In, we've got a signal .

The purpose of using an Extender is to enhance the amplification of an existing wireless signal, so be clear before setting the wireless signal and password that you need to enlarge. This article describes the use of mobile phone to set the TL-WDA5532RE dual-frequency wireless Extender method.

Set method

1. Mobile phone Connection extender default signal

Power the wireless extender on. Factory by default, the dual-band Wireless extender emits a wireless signal named Tp-link_re_xxxx or tp-link_5g_re_xxxx (x is the four-bit MAC address).

Extender has two wireless signals by default

Many users are connected to other Wi-Fi signals, resulting in the inability to enter the interface. So be sure to connect to this "default" signal.

Connect the default wireless signal
	Attention: If the factory default signal is not found, it may have been set, and it is recommended to reset the Extender .

2. access to the Extender management interface

When the wireless signal of the Extender is successfully connected, the mobile phone will automatically eject the Settings page (if there is no automatic pop-up page, please open the mobile browser and manually enter tplogin.cn or 192.168.1.253 in the Address bar). Please set a password for a management extender of no less than 6 bits, and click "Login" when the settings are complete.

Set Login Password
	Set the Extender's login password and remember the password

3. expand The 2.4G Wireless signal According to the prompts

Into the Extender settings interface, the Extender automatically scans for peripheral signals and waits for a while. Find the signal you want to extend in the list of scanned signals. Select the signal (if the search is not found, the signal may be too weak (adjust the distance between the Extender and the router) or for the Chinese signal (please change the main signal to the letter), enter the wireless password to extend the 2.4G signal, click "Next".

Extended 2.4G Wireless Signal

Precautions:

1. If you can not confirm the wireless password input is correct, you can click the Password box after the eye icon, display password.

2. The wireless name of the Extender is the same as the router signal name to enable roaming.

4. expand The 5G Wireless signal According to the prompts

Next, the Extender will automatically scan the surrounding 5G signal, wait for a while, in the scanned list of signals to find the 5G you want to expand the signal, input to extend the 5G signal wireless password, click "Save."

Extended 5G Wireless Signal

Precautions:

1, the front-end main router (or AP) wireless does not support 5G, then click Skip .

2. Extending both the 2.4G and 5G signals requires that the 2.4G and 5G signals of the same router (or AP) be extended .

5. Extended Success

After confirming that the extension parameters are correct, click "Start Expansion". When the settings are complete, observe the LED status according to the page prompts, and if green or orange is displayed, the extension is successful.

Extended success

Note : If the 5G signal is not extended, the 5G signal of the wireless extender will be modified by default to 5g_zhangsan (the name of the 2.4G signal plus 5g_) and the wireless password is the same as 2.4G.

6. mobile phone, computer connection extender Internet

After the extension succeeds, the factory default signal of the extender disappears and the wireless name and password of the transmitter are exactly the same as the original router's signal. At this point, please insert the Extender before the weaker area of the signal (do not go too far), about 30 seconds to wait for the expansion of the success, Orange means that the Extender is too far away from the main router, green is advisable.

Mobile phones and other wireless terminals to find the expansion of the signal can be online.

Question Answer

Q1 : Does extending the 2.4G and 5G signals of the same wireless router form a loop?

No, the dual-frequency extender has a unique identification isolation mechanism that does not cause loops. However, if you are using two wireless routers (or AP) and bridge the other two frequency band signal will form a loop.

Q2 : that extends the same router at the same time 2.4G and 5G What good is a signal?

Figuratively speaking, that is, between the main router and the extender between two roads, all vehicles can be diverted on these two roads, to increase bridging bandwidth role.

Q3 : can I extend only 2.4G or 5G the signal?

Yes, but if your router is a dual-band router, it is recommended to extend both 2.4G and 5G to give full play to the advantages of dual-frequency extender.

Q4 : does the Extender's light green or orange indicate that the extension is successful?

Not necessarily. If only one band signal is extended, the display of green or orange indicates a successful extension. If you extend two bands at the same time, as long as one of the signal extensions succeeds, the color of the LEDs turns green or orange.
