THANK YOUUUUU! Finally an instructive video on this using OLD TP-Link routers. This worked for me!
Can we use any router as the main router other than TP Link?
Yes!
@@rtechreviews I tried it but it shows no internet connection. My main router is different, the one I am trying to use as an access point or repeater is TP-Link N600(Model No.: TL-WDR3600). I followed all the steps but when I connect it shows "No Internet". Please suggest what should I do, it would be really helpful.
Thanks for your video, I have the tp link modem -router ac1750 archer d7. Do you think that it could works? Cheers!
The D7 is a fairly poor device to use for range extending.. it might work but the results are not great. It is simply not a high power wireless device.. but if you could run ethernet (or EOP works) to it.. then it will work fine as Wireless AP to devices nearby.
@@rtechreviews thank you!
I dont have wds in my wireless settings. archer 1600, where can I find it ?
Very use full of your steps to follow setup slightly some steps are changed in latest tplink model device.
It doesnt work with Archer C7. So sad.
Yeah they have disabled this option
Awsome help sir,thanku,steve from the uk
My router AC900 and AC1200 with WDS function works fine at home, but not at all around my boss office (compatibility issues with their Cisco or Linksys routers probably), so I have one router in Client mode + ethernet cable to another AP and finally, internet works fine.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Thank You Bro finally got a proper and simple instruction video
@6:11 you changed the channel number from auto to 1, but you did not mention this in the commentary. The wording used in the popup warning, "confirm", is ambiguous, and you yourself did not realize it meant "change", not "accept". This is only on the screen for less than a second, and is too easy to miss.
@5:12 is the first prompt you had to change the channel number, but you say "hit ok" for the pop-up. This is why the viewer is misled into doing the same the second time, @6:11.
Thank you for pointing out
Sorry guys little question: I have an archer c20 ac750 and want to use it as an extender. This router is not connected with an ethernet cable. Do you think it is possible to connect it by following this video? The WiFi I have is from the neighbour and I have his password only. Thank you.
Hi ... neither is the router I have connected to an ethernet cable... it's not required
The Acher C2 AC750 v1.x accept openWRT.
Great video, thank you.
Thanks brother. You made this so simple
Brilliant easy to follow video, thanks.
I hoped it would just be the same network so I could connect multiple speakers to the same network but not sure if it'll work for that.
Thank you, you could still use the same SSID as the primary router but I think there will be a lag
@@rtechreviews thanks mate. It was to sync several Alexa speakers and I not tried it since following your vid.
Thank you ! Your steps helped me to configure my TP Link router as a extender
Thank you please do Subscribe ☺️
Love you man, thanks for the help
Thanks a lot! Was having bad connection in the garden and had this router laying around. Now the connection in the garden is good!
Thank you ❤️
Just tried this. Everything’s works as in your example but now my network speed is horrible. Any thoughts as to why? I did set up both 2.4 and 5.0 channels. Could that be the problem?
It should ideally be almost the same slightly higher latencies etc but I'm not sure why the difference... what sorts of speeds from the main router vs the tp link device as repeater?
What's with the almost creepy music 👀
😀 covering the background noises
I am getting the error for the AP channel when trying to save, even you seem to get one what did you set the channel as ? I am trying to make my router as extender with my jio fiber
I think your right I did do some research for the best working channels and I think it was 11 .. can't remember
I was trying to configure Archer A5. All settings were done as per instructions. Now which ssid should the device connected; Original router or "repeater".
It should be the Original Router SSID
@@rtechreviews thankyou Sir it worked 🙏
Thanks!
Just tried this and my connection hangs on obtaining an IP address. Does it matter that I am trying to extend a 4G router? Also, weirdly my TP router only offered WDS on 5GHZ not 2.4GHZ
Thanks this helped 🙌🏻 but im trying to connect the 5G option, with no luck, when I scan it doesnt pick up on the local network? Any ideas?
Please check the channels...some devices have problems with the channel that you are using in the 5G band
I have the same problem, I can connect to 2.4Ghz no problems and everything works, but for some reason the router can't find my 5Ghz network, at the same time everything else can find and work fine on the 5Ghz network.
Mine doesnt show wds
This is acces point not reapeter mode...
No it's a repeater
@@rtechreviews sorry my mistake. You have right. Everything works! Thanks.
I cant access the tp-link site, what can i do?
are you looking for a tp link driver?
@@rtechreviews I'm embarrassed, there was no power on the power outlet... router was off. But quick update I was able to do it, thank you for taking the time to post this.
Can i connect an ethernet cable to my new archer repeater ? I mean, to connect another PC wired
Nice question.. did not try it out but have seen people do it
You are a god
Is this access point?
A Router Dual Band 2.4 / 5.0 GHz bgn ac
In Wireless Settings You have WDS:
"Enable WDS - You can select this to enable WDS Bridging, with this function, the Router can bridge two or more Wlans. NOTE: If this checkbox is selected, you had better make sure the following settings are correct."
@@DanielPabloSheng ok thanks a lot man!
Thank you so much, it really helped!! I am a complete amateur when it comes to all this, but you explained it wonderfully, and it's working perfectly fine! Only thing i did not understand is that though i changed the router name and saved it, it stil shows the original TP Link name, and not sure how to change the password, so am using the one given at the back, but it's alright, it's working great now and don't want to mess it up so can live with it :D
You mean the WiFi Password?
@@rtechreviews yes, the wifi password, but i guess got over excited, for some reason it isn't working now, amongst other reasons it says maybe it's something to do with the MAC address 🤔
@@rtechreviews also says couldn't get IP address
Turn the Dang background MUSIC OFF, VERY ANNOYING when your trying to LISTEN to you speaking what to do!.
Sorry bout that ...
