Thank you so much for this video. Your instructions were perfect!
Can it connect to a host router (WISP mode) that does not use security, like a hotel connection where you log in via a home page instead eg WPA login?
Wonderful explaination many thanks.
I think this is the best video ever.
Perfect explanation! Thank you so much!
thank you spot on so simple it's ridiculous
Nice tutorial!
Oh very nice router, i love it enjoy guys !!! Nave !!!
Thanks! Easily set it up in Hotspot mode!
Does it always need to be connected to power or does it have like a battery life
nice product and very nice video
hot to set it up when the hotel is giving you user a password of a hotspot to setup online with an intranet page? thanks
There is missing guide for setup 3G/4G connection. Or do I missed something in video? Understood that should be part of Hotspot settings, but there is only wifi connectivity mentioned.
so... any way to NOT go on the internet, but use the ethernet port to connect an NAS and use that NAS through the wifi interface?
I bought one of these some time ago and thought Id check the tube for setup help. This has to be the worst corporate tutorial video I've ever seen
One should avoid TP-link like a plague. Be damned all those who recommend this product around the world.
I need to get something to connect to the hotspot on my phone and use the hotspot as the internet connection. Is it possible with this item.
Can I share usb hard disk in client mode with the home wifi network?
can it be used as a print server to connect to a usb printer?
I cannot seem to get set this device to work on hotspot share using either of my phone's hotspot on T-Mobile or Visible although it says "congratulations" when I configure the connection. What am I missing?
Printing is too small. I’ve been struggling for hours with this unit to get it to connect. Why are all of the tp-link products so difficult to connect? Gurrr!
I need help, it keeps saying no internet when I did everything
Can you configure different SSIDs and password per mode, or the SSID and password you configured in one mode stays the same when switching to other modes?
Do you have a setup video for TL-MR3020 ?
How do we connect to a hotel WiFi with no ethernet connection to provide the required name and room number? The documents breezily say "connect" without dealing with a WiFi source. I try to avoid carrying a notebook with ethernet, and travel light with a Android phone and Chromecast when I go to a hotel. The Chromecast is to watch Netflix etc. The Chromecast needs to be connected to WiFi and so a connection like tp-link's Kasa series would be very useful. However, Tether does NOT pass through the hotels credentials from my phone like Kasa, and the router will not allow connection unless it has a source internet. So it appears that I need to carry a notebook purely to configure the router, and then the router is pointless as this need can be met by Windows 10 WiFi sharing. Have I wasted my money?
Setting it up as an access point probably will provide the solution to your problem.
Did you ever get an answer to your question? I wanted to use Chromecast at a hotel too, but I'm experiencing the same obstacle. Everywhere I have read they breeze over connecting to the router, but there's no explanation as to how if you do not have an ethernet connection.
Can we connect it with a Drone to increase Drone’s range?
How do I update firmware to read exFAT usb??
I am not able to get to the hotel wifi authentication page. This used to be possible on TL-WR802N with hotspot mode but not possible on TL-WR902AC. I only have available my apartment hotel wifi as a connection, any suggestion?
Hi how do we get the hotel authentification page on TL-WR802N with hotspot mode please ? Can you explain le🥺
Does anyone know if you can do WPS connect somehow with this router?
which scenario would I choose if I want to get a faster internet speed for my ps4 by using the land cable
Client mode
hello, I have an issue with my, I just purchased one on amazon(refurbished) sold by Tp-Link and it does not come with the 8 digits password card (Wifi Card info) so I was trying to use the back label password "admin" but the wifi password can't be less than 8 digits so I tried a factory reset the device but after that still asking for 8 digits password and it was not included in the box, so is there a way to fix this?
Mine doesn't have a share mode button, am I missing something?
Can I plus the ethernet cable into my desktop and pull wifi from router outside ?
i need for the Hotspot scenario since My accommodation has a login wifi. So i have been given a username and password. Not just a password. What do i do???
The hardest to setup by far,
You did not discuss what's the USB port is for.
Can I use this with shared campus wifi and control Kasa products in my room?
Can I connect this router to my phone's HotSpot and be able to share the internet with other devices wireless connections?
Following
@Jay W how do you set it up if you don't have any other internet access other than the hotspot...I went round and round with tech support the other day and got soooo frustrated I was ready to se d it back..
I found a video by "The Teacher" on connecting cell to router...he's using a TP-Link. Best video I have found. It's called "How to share & connect 3G/4G mobile hotspot to Wifi router tutorial. He's kind of hard to understand but i.put on CC and watched it over several times. (More to get used to his accent) I'm going to try it tomorrow.
yes i have this done but its soooo slow compared to speed on my phone
How do i connect on a cruiseship like Princess as i need to connect wirelessly and not hardwire
Maybe this has been answered down below, but can I set the IP for the hardwire port? And does it do NAT?
Yes, under WAN settings. Port forwarding area of control provides Virtual Server, Port Triggering, DMZ and UPnP
Hi, Can Please you add or enable Print Server for this model, it is more useful and helpful to use wired Printer
do u need wifi in order for this to work?
The website isnt available
What about when you check into a hotel, that requires you log into their luanch site?
Can you do port forwarding on this device?? I have a IOT which needs port forwarding in bound and out.
Yes it does look at 2:06
does this device allow you to have wifi with you anywhere you go?
Can a PoE injector be used to power this?
I would have liked to see more about the Guest Network and Parental Controls. Sadly, the descriptions are hard to read and after 4 hours, I am growing really tired of the system. It just won't work ...
can i connect my iphone and set fixed IP adress and use it as hot spot?
So this can only work with something that already has access to the internet?
If you use the Ethernet cable directly, do you need to worry about the passwords from a hotel or wherever you are?
How to use a USB 4G modem with the router please
I have the same question, I can't work my Huawei 4G modem, I have connection but no Internet access, and if conect the modem usb direct to the pc work perfectly.

Can you use the usb to plug in 2tb harddrive and access it wirelessly?
Yes.
I thought this thing was a wireless isp but apparently it is an extender, or is it? Is this a device for providing Internet or not?
this is not working for me when im trying to share hotspot it keeps timing out
How to connect external hard drive with this router
Did you got the solution???
I have not yet (just setting up), but router has USB port and noted FTP server abilities through router interface. FTP server disabled by default.
I just got this router thru Amazon...This tutorial is next to useless, cannot read anything because it is so blurry. I have a phone I want to use as my house internet through this router. Which mode do I use? I can't figure it out. It comes up on my computer but says it is not connected. I want to use my phone's hotspot as my internet connection throughout my house. Can you tell me how...which mode...connecting the router to the phone or phone to router??
Janice Simmonds Me too! I’ve been trying the hotspot setting using phone connected to tplink with usb... no success yet
kindly use the client mode . i know your comment is a year old but incase if u still have it , you may want to try the client mode @9:53
@@gaganhanjra hii,, can I get 5ghz WiFi signal if I connect with 2.4ghz Hotspot wifi like Airtel Hotspot or Jio fi.
please 🙏 ans
@@Kumar-re5wv i believe thats not possible. 5ghz and 2.4 ghz is a bandwidht that we get from our providers, so it depends. what you get, what you can further spread (transmit) .. but i believe this device is more of a connection/intermediator ,and it helps in communicating from one device to another. as far as speed and bandwidht is concerned that depends directly on what is being given by your internet provider. hope this helps
@@gaganhanjra ohhkk thx for the reply
i have this set up but im getting 1/4 speed from phone i get 140 mbs on phone. 38mbs on laptop wired to router phone is beside router any ideas thanks
Yeah, youve hit max speed of the wifi. 38mb is 4megaBYTES a second, about as fast as a typical DSL connection.
I live in a dorm room sharing wifi with 60 other people which mode should I use?
Internet light and usb modem light continuously blinking with share ETH mode and not access internet please help me
I only get 50 MBits and i have 400Mbits Connection
What are the timelines meant for? 0:21
I don't understand and I still need help it won't connect to the internet help please!!!!!!!!!
Once it is connected to you home Internet can it be taken anywhere like mobile data?
No. It has to be in range.
Can I take this route on the go when I go on a trip
This is the reason I purchased it. I plan on attaching to ethernet port, to create an WiFi access point.
Can I use this device in Nigeria?
Does not work in router mode
Which method should be used to connect this at Starbucks.
What's the difference between Router and Access Point Mode?
A router is a network device that serves two primary functions: (1) it connects multiple computers, phones, tablets, or other devices to form a managed local area network, and (2) it provides Internet access to all of the compatible devices that are connected to the router. An access point is a wireless network device that acts as a portal for devices to connect to a local area network. Access points are used for extending the wireless coverage of an existing network and for increasing the number of users that can connect to it.
hii,
can I get WiFi 5ghz
if I connect with 2.4ghz Airtel Hotspot device wifi
please 🙏ans
Usb 3.0 instead of 2.0 would leave no room for complaint....
For now Hootoo travel router is best in the market....
Please launch a updated version with usb 3.0 port in India....
hello sir, can I use my mobile phone USB tethering, and plug-in USB connection to the internet? replay anyone this answer, please..
i have the same question
I saw you asking this in every related videos ,
if you got the answer please tell me by the way
This may sound silly but I'm a dinosaur - I want to use this on vacation, Can I do the set-up at home and then just key in the hotel wifi info when I get to the hotel?
Do you have to use a pc
can we use this as NAS via usb port
Yes.
Already sent question to tech support, but will also ask here - is it possible to get Internet from 4G modem plugged to USB and access it from Ethernet?
tp link website says yes. also the usb port of device is marked as 3g/4g.
This may seem like a stupid question but when I put the Ethernet cable into the wall ... without having internet from any carrier will it work?
No it wont work lol seriously it wont but you can try
Lol 😂
can it run through power bank?
Yes it do
Yes it can.
I want to use this as a travel router. Can I just transfer some internet into the thing from my home? (Plug in an ethernet and install like 100gb of internet and then use that on travel.)
RZ_Bombzツ hahahahaha
@@VektorHaus i'm trying so hard not to laugh. It's such a genuine question, but so funny.
Lol what are you saying? Makes sense but i dont think how this internet thing works
no 3g 4g usb dongle support.
not true
I thought I had at least the minimum savy necessary( after all I have installed memory, drives, configured printers, partitioned drives, installed several linux distros) to install this thing but the truth is I have failed. I have watched every youtube video on how to install it and despite showing on my computer that it is connected I cannot access the internet. I hereby am crying UNCLE! ..yes I am giving up and returning it.
Why is it portable? if you have to connect it to the power
so this device you connect to your home router to portable router and you take it anywhere from outside
Nope xD
Bad product! Admin webpage is extremely slow and wifi disconnects after 1 minute or so. It does not detect 5g Wifi to as Extender. I would send the product back but no time left before leaving.
I had other products from TP-Link. This is the worst sofar.
Toilet paper link. Damn Covid19
Do it have unlimited WiFi built into it.
Yes
The limits of the WiFi depend on the connection that you connect it to.
Learn something from tech reviewers
And step 3 (at 10:14) is exactly where everything goes wrong. If you're trying to setup your wired (only) device via the client mode, how are you possibly going to connect wirelessly? If an Ethernet outlet is available, you wouldn't need wireless. Everything after that is useless. You'll never get to the TP-Link website. 👎
Waste of time where do you insert the SIM?
This is laughably bad. Good to see your revenue isnt being re-invested back into user support.
Can this router connect to a network that uses web based authentication interface?
I want to know too
@@brioche7593 I bought it and I can confirm that yes, it can. You just configure it as Wisp client and connect it to the open wifi as client. Then with your phone, connect to the private wifi that creates the device and from the phone, auhtenticate with the web interface. From now on, all devices connectwd to the private wifi can use internet
@@brioche7593 And I had it running for 2 weeks non-stop in summer with no problem, it is not super-hot and the internet works perfect with no lag. It is worth specially for the cheap price!
