Oh the irony... My wifi sucks so bad, I can't get this video to play
Finally, someone who actually uses the word irony in perfect context.
Oof
did you get this, and did it work well?
After two years I'm stuck and your video is a blessing
Thank you for a well-done video, which in my book is fact-filled, informative, and no fillers, especially attempts at humours. Big thumbs up.
Really appreciate that! Glad you liked it 🙂
Great videos, watched them all like a Netflix series binge since single port wifi extender
Thanks, glad you liked the videos 😀👍
The best video on UA-cam covering this subject. 👍
Thanks so much, glad you liked the video 👍
Excellent. Demystified the whole WiFi speed business.
Thanks, glad you liked it. Cheers 👍
Very helpful.
My modem doesn't have a WPS button, so I was glad to see this tutorial on how to do a manual setup. It actually gives you a lot more control.
Glad it was helpful, thanks 👍
Awesome job testing and explaining the various network configurations that can be done with this.
Thanks so much, glad you liked this video 👍 👍
@@tareq_7 like the normal wifi
Very helpful and useful. Thank you. I didn’t know about the advanced setting to change client and backend on different bands. Thank you.
I'm glad you liked it and it was helpful, thanks 😀👍
I just love how you draw your pictures....
Glad you liked it, thanks :-)
Thank you for this review video!! I am currently in the market for a wifi extender for my houses wifi. And not only did you explain everything but also showed different settings to see how good the speed you can get. So thank you for your video. I was looking at this on amazon as i found it for $22.
Excellent test and review. Thank you for uploading and keep up the good work.
Thanks, glad you found it useful 👍
Solid video, very informative. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for your how-to videos 👍🏻 I connected my tplink 1750 router with your video, I admit I really really don't know anything about tech stuff no matter how easy it is. But with your step by step video it just made it easier. Thanks again, keep up the good work 👍🏻
Glad to hear this video was helpful for you. Thanks 👍
I bought it today. It's amazing and compact. Very good range and stable connection. Setup is easy.
Glad to hear you liked it, thanks for sharing.
This helped a lot, Thanks!
Glad it was helpful, thanks.
awesome.. great video as always!
Thank you! Cheers! :-)
Great video. Subbed for the one mesh video. Just bought an A9 which while seemingly more reliable, it sadly has a notably shorter range than my Netgear AC1750v2.
Something I learned: only the A6 and A7 have one mesh. The A9 doesn't and any request to when that will be added is given the option to return their A9 or other router and to buy one with support. Sounds like the higher, older models aren't getting it. Lame
Very informative. Convinced me to go with the more expensive dual band version.
Glad you liked it, thanks 👍🙂
U r definitely amazing and the best out of all out there! The way you explained actually makes sense, and yes IT WORKED!
Great to hear! Thanks :-)
This video was awesome. Thanks a lot for your help!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks 😀👍
perfect video, That what I was looking for
Glad you liked it, thanks.
Excellent video, with all information and real test, not like other just a "manual of how to install". In 8:23, just remember (keep in mind) that TP-Link RE220 (and most of cheaper repeater) has a Interface 10/100M Ethernet Port (RJ45), so the wired connection never pass 100 Mbps! For this, it's necessary a 1000Mbps port (Gigabit) in more modern router/repeater, as you explain afterwards. It will nice if you can do a video with a 1000Mbps port (Gigabit) repeater, to show the final speed with this port in a repeater :)
A new subscriber, thanks for helping me!
You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful. Thanks 👍
Gracias amigo, pude conectarme
Great video !!!
Thanks! :-)
Good job 👍
Thanks 👍
Awesome video!! Everything I wanted to know and more.
Thank you!
Glad to hear that! Thanks 😀👍
Great video!, I have a doubt.. do you know Why is showing a warning sign over the 2.4ghz band between the router (Archer C7) and the RE220 extender?
Great review but can i ask what good extender at a decent price range would you recommend for gaming?
Brilliant video! Rigorous, super clear, and now I fully understand backhaul, dual channel and all that jazz. Sadly my order of this device is now held up by it being out of stock - the price of success, I guess.
Thanks so much! I'm very glad you liked the video :-)
super..
Damet garm! 🤩
Thanks 🙏
Repeater with 2.4 can give you 40 mbps but with 5ghz they give you the full speed from your modem
I have old tp link and in my bedroom I have mi router
Good day I have followed every step and it works perfectly I just don't get internet connection the error I get is the WiFi connection says no internet connection is there anything I can do
I even changed the IP address
Hi, can I plug it into a extention socket instead and work just as well?
really really helpful, thanks man! just one question, did you know what was the speed of the pc directly connected to the wireless router by the ethernet cable? or the speed your provider is supposedly giving to you?
Thanks, glad you liked the video. If you are asking the speed of Ethernet connection of that computer, it was 1 Gbps. The speed of Internet provider does not matter here because the speed test I did in the video was between 2 local computers. Thanks
oh I got it, I had understood the speed test was with the internet connection, thanks again man!
Can you touch on Mesh Network devices that are installed, with Ethernet Backhaul? I've inherited a number of AirTies 4920 devices, and I'm interested in installing & configuring them, so that they can be used as a Mesh Network, rather than as a multi-AP configuration. The environment in-which they'll be used is extremely congested on the 2.4 GHz Band, and the building structure is not conducive to 5 GHz, for the back haul. For those reasons, I'd like to explore deploying the AirTies 4920 devices with Ethernet Backhaul.
In that configuration, do the mesh devices synchronize with one another over the Ethernet Backhaul? If so, do they establish a port or 'channel' over the Ethernet connection, to 'talk' with one another? Also, can they retain the host router's I.P. Subnet, or do they establish their own Subnet? I'm trying to avoid any double 'NATing' problems.
I enjoy the channel..... Educating & Entertaining. Keep-up the good work! :)
Great video as always!
Have been waiting for this video since the last one. 🙂
It would be great If Tp-link sends you an Archer C6 or a C7 so you could make a video testing OneMesh.
Yes waiting for that also
Thanks so much! As I said at the end of this video, OneMesh is gonna be next :-)
@@Behfor awesome!
You are the only one who makes all kinds of tests, explain the methods and post the results straight forward! 🙂
The slower speed with the network cable is ok to me since I only need internet on an old tower PC that doesn’t have WiFi built in
how do you get the setting bar at the side it wont show up for me making it impossible to set it to 5ghx
Hi, would you know if this extender supports WPA Enterprise security WiFi connections?
So if um using the extender just for the Ethernet which mode should I use ? or do I set it as auto?
got some ElectroBOOM vibes here
Hello i have a question : is it better to connect it via ethernet usb on your pc ?
Great video . Well made too.
I just happened to stumble on this as I`m trying to solve my wifi dead spots.......upstairs. I bought a tp-link Archer VR400 and I`m disappointed with it's wifi range. My house isn't big but has lots of brick walls. My BT home hub was much better. Do you have any advice ?
I have a surfboard sbg10 modem with no wps button can u plz tell me if the extender will work with it thx
I didn't understand the video very much so I have one question for you. If I connect an ethernet cable to the TP-LINK RE200, will the internet have the same speed or will the internet be slower?
Tried this unit. Got great signal strength but it sucked at connecting to the internet. Very frustrating so returned it. Read of this same issue in several forums with no known solutions.
Hello sir thank you for the explanations.
I want to ask one thing about this:
-My ip camera upstairs 3rd floor of house always lose connection.
Can i put this extender up there and cable connect it to the camera??
Yes, if the camera is wireless and wired, then you should be able to connect it with an Ethernet cable tot he repeater ( it should be possible, unless the camera system has a limitation) thanks.
thank you very much for this video... i tried the product and set it up... but couldnt connect the next day because the lights were not turning on. pls help me
Would you recommend this than the RE205?? Or RE205 is better?
I'm with virgin media 5g it's on the ground floor but on the third floor of my house youtube dont play because not enough signal. Only Netflix plays. Will it work and Where should I connect the repeater in my house to get UA-cam in the rooms on 3 rd floor pls and what 2 radio should I use?. Thank you
Подскажите пожалуйста, а TP-LINK RE200 подойдет к маршрутизатору Netis?!
Great explanation, the only thing I don’t understand is here 3:23 Why you change IP address? Do I need to do that too with same number or any numbers .... thanks .
Thanks, you don't have to change the IP address, by default it "obtains an IP address automatically", however, this automatic IP address might change from time to time, so I personally prefer to give it a permanent static IP address, this IP address will not change and I can easily remember and use it to access the repeater. Just keep in mind the static IP address has to be an unused IP in your network, in my case I used 192.168.1.253 because I know no other device is using it. Thanks.
@@Behfor I see , thanks man , great timing my repeater just arrived , I will watch more of your videos to learn more , you have easy way of explaining keep up the good work
Well explained so the wire does not extend beyond 100 mbps I have a 300 mbps plan so wireless is better i guess 👍
Sir..Isme SIM dal ke chala sakte kya?
Hi there, can we type different Ssid for 2.4and 5 channel or we must type SSID same as primary router on tplink Repeater ??or we can choose same as primary router or type different and new Ssid or TP-Link Repeater?? Thnx
Hi, the SSIDs could be different from the primary router (please check out the video at [2:35] ) but the passwords would be the same. Thanks.
I have already wifi cameras connected to my network. Once I start using the extender, do I need to create new networks with a different names and reconnect the cameras? Or can I just select the same name? Is it the same wifi network that the extender is amplifying? If yes, why do you create a different name? I hope I am making sense.
Depends if you are using OneMesh (need a compatible TP-Link router)
Can you create a new, private network with that?
I have one more question sir, can I connect the repeater directly to the router with an Ethernet cable to have a better transmission rate?
Yes you can but In that case it won't be a repeater and it will be an Access Point, which is even better than a repeater.
@@Behfor Am I misunderstanding something here? Isn't the Ethernet port only 100mbps? How can the transmission rate be better if the ethernet port's capacity is so much smaller? Doesn't that mean it can never exceed 100mbps since that's the speed the port is limited to when receiving the wired signal?
So if I connect my repeater to my router with a 20 metre cat 6 ethernet will my repeater be full wifi 20 metres away for my router?
how much could receive a range in meter
Should i buy it for gaming or not?
Quick question: Can the name of the wifi SSID be same from the RE220 and the router or do they need to be different? Thanks! Great video
Yes the SSID of the repeater can also be the same as the router. Thanks.
@@Behfor Thanks the answer! :) So you say that if I add the same name, will my laptop for example pick the best one in signal strength? or will it list both SSIDs and it's up to me to pick up the best one?
Won't having the same name as the SSID potentially cause some devices to connect to the repeater when they already get a good signal from the router?
@@howardbirenbaum2515 not at my hone at least lol
why not connect the extender with cable from router and use it that way?
ok so i recently put my xbox in my room upstairs lately and i have been getting bad lag and my latency has beeen bad i’m using wireless upstairs. when i was downstairs using wired i would not get lag at all and it would run smooth. what do you recommend for me to get to experience my downstairs gaming while i’m still staying upstairs? thx
Wired is always recommended for gaming over wireless. I would recommend to watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/7nQXAALkh_w/v-deo.html
Thanks.
so would a tp dual band repeater work?
Michael Jacksion yes
Michael Jacksion with Ethernet connected to it
So whats really the best option?
hey can you do a VIDEO ON HOW TO LINK THIS TO THE PS4? THANKS
It’s simple, first make sure it’s up and running, make sure the wireless name appears on any other device and make sure it’s working, then hop on to your PS4/PS5 and scan for wireless networks, it should appear there. If you want to you can connect it via Ethernet cable. Then go to scan networks and a “wired connection” will appear
I hv a question can some one please help im going to add this repeater to be used with a smart plug to turn on and off devices from my phone.just my question will be that when i connect my smart plug via repeater and then connect my phone with my main rouer will i be able to turn on and off my smart switch...any help greatly appreciated😢
I have 200 mbps in my router
If Ibuy this is gonna get with 5ghz the full speed if you know?
please fast make a video about tp link onemesh .. im waiting for it. i have tp-link one mesh router now should i buy a re200/re220 mesh repeater for gaming? I'm so confused . in the 1st-floor wifi frequency is good but on the 2nd-floor I'm facing a lag problem for ping issue. so should I setup this repeater for solving the ping issue?
That video was made a long time ago!! Infact right after this video! That's why I suggest you activate the bell notification.
Why don't you check out the video description of this video for the link to the OneMesh video
@@Behfor thank you so much buddy. I got my answer , now it's easy for me to make my decision ... your content is so helpful ...
@@ChannelExposure Glad to hear that, good luck!
Will it work with T-Mobile wifi ?
i know its been a while but I have a question, it says the ethernet port is 100mbps limited, I want to use the extender as a access point, I have a gigabit wifi but atm I'm only getting 50 mbps using it as a repeater if I use it as a access point will I be limited to 100mbps?
Yes, as an AP it'll be limited to 100mbps
@@Behfor thanks, guess I'll just throw mine in the bin and buy a long cat cable
Hi, I was wondering, if I am on WiFi in a building setting, am I still able to set this up?
Hi, as far as I know, you initially need to connect to the repeater's WiFi to set it up. thanks.
Hi! I bought TP Link router C6 AC1200 V2.0 (US) and TP Link extender RE200 AC750 V4.0 (UK). Both have OneMesh feature also smart connect. Also both of them upgraded to latest firmware. Now the problem is the RE200 cannot find 5Ghz network from my router. The only way it can if in my router i set the 5Ghz channel to 36/40/44/48. Doing this all my device can find 5G but my Samsung S9 cannot. Anyway you can help me?
Hi, it's probably because 5GHz Wi-Fi channels 149, 153, 157,161 & 165 that are used in US are prohibited in Europe, that's why the devices are not fully compatible with each other. It's always recommended to use the devices that are following your local regulations because otherwise they might put you in trouble! Some channels that are allowed in one country are illegal in another one! That being said, some wireless devices allow you to change the regulatory domain and set it to your country, but I'm not sure about these Tp-Link devices, maybe that'll require a firmware change. Unfortunately I don't have info on that, maybe if you contact TP-link they can give you more info. Thanks.
I have a question, how much different is the RE200 from this one?
I think the re220 has cloud management which the re200 doesn't have.
would this help my wifi on my ps4 I will add a lan cable to the little port
it should be alright, you may want to check out this video though ua-cam.com/video/7nQXAALkh_w/v-deo.html
i have a question can i connect a cable from the ethernet slot to my pc?
Yes you can, thanks
What's the range in feet?
Hello Ive got the same TP LINK adapter. My question is how to send a 5ghz signal to pc through ethernet cable ?
did u find out bro?
how close must it be to the router and repeater at first ? under 1m ?
I would say between 1 to 2 meters should be good.
Since i connectet the extender to the wifi my wifi laggs constantly on my phone. Why?
how many can you connect to a none tp link router and how seamless is it when roaming with a none tp link router?
1- on paper you can connect as many as you want but in reality you shouldn't because wireless is complicated and just randomly adding repeaters would cause interference and it might make your network useless! So for best performance you should know why and where you are adding the repeaters. Obviously adding them as APs is much better than adding them as repeaters. If the setup is done great then the roaming should also be good too.
why when did i put 192.168.0.254 the page doesn't load?
do you need to pay monthly for this object? or is it only to boost your wifi speed.
This rage extender doesn't need monthly membership payments, you just buy it and you can use it for as long as you wish
What cable plugs into the re220 to connect to my console
Ethernet cable!
If my wireless router doesn't support 802.11b, would this device convert it to work under 802.11b?
Is this good for gaming?
Yes if you connect it via Ethernet, if you can’t and can only connect wirelessly I would suggest getting something more expensive (av600 or re650)
So what if you want to connect the extender with the router by cable? Is that possible?
That's possible but only if you use the extender as an Access Point. So you should change it's operation mode and set it up as an AP. FYI an extender/Repeater is a device that connects to the primary router via wireless only, if you use a cable then it's an Access Point.
@@Behfor Thanks for your quick reply. I learned something today. Let's see if I can put it in an access point.
You're very welcome and good luck 😀👍
@@Behfor Somehow I'm getting problems. Do I have to set IP-address manually?
I can connect to the AP but it doesn't have internet.
What is the actual ISP speed from the wireless router?
I'm not sure what that has got to do with anything here?! The speed tests done in this video has nothing to do with internet speed, I hope that makes sense.
Hello sir, how far in meters is the repeater from the router? Thanks.
Hi, about 12 meters or so. Cheers.
Oh, thanks for the quick response, I already buyed it :D
Good luck :)
whats the difference between this and the re200
I don't have the re200 but I guess it doesn't support Tplink cloud.
This model also have an access point sir?
Yes sir.
Hi ...what if repeat a dual band router using a single band router..thats 5ghz band connected single band router and repeated ... Will this work ..how the speed will be
Hi, you mean the single band router is a 5 GHz router?! I've never seen a single band router that is 5 GHz only, but if there is and can work as a repeater it should work fine, but again it will has the limitations that come with single band repeaters, thanks!
@@Behfor that was my stupidity ..
anyhow thanks a lot for your dual band repeater video. I was using a single band router as repeater on a 50 Mbps connection , and the repeater was providing only 15Mbps . Searched everywhere for the reason and clueless
But your video was simple and usefull , i bought a dual band router and the problem solved .
bought a d-link dual band router , which had a mode as WISP , used the same for repeating and SUCCESS .
Thanks a lot for the video , and shared to my friends as max as I could .
Would this be good to connect it to my pc with.
I suppose so,
How do you connect it to a ps4
Hi I the re200 very disappointed to fond out that it doesn't boost my network range it makes another network
Could this device work correctly with the same ssid as my router
... no it boosts the range.
can I use it to connect to my PlayStation?
or which other model of TP-link should I get
did u ever find out bro?
Yes you can connect it wirelessly or via Ethernet. This is a cheap product so it won’t give you the best speeds but it could work! I suggest something like an av600 or a re650.
I use an av600 and connect it via Ethernet to my PS5. It gives me roughly 80mbps. Yes it’s not 100+ but it is VERY STABLE. Ethernet usually gives you faster speeds then wireless
People should know that TP-Link will not ship out a replacement device under warranty unless you pay to ship the defective device to them first.
is it good for gaming?
It could be, however for gaming it is best to use wired connection, but if wireless is the only option and you have to use a repeater, then definitely a dual band repeater is better than a single band repeater. thanks
