If not, you can only proceed with the manual and app-based setup method.

Logging into the TP-Link range extender

Before you log in to the extender setup wizard, connect your extender to the power outlet near your main router. Prefer connecting it to a power outlet in the same room as your router. This will help build easy line-of-sight communication between the two devices. Allow the extender to power on and notice the power LED till it turns to solid blue. Once it does, you can connect your computer/wireless device to its local network. Here are some steps you can follow:

Open the WiFi settings on your computer/wireless device and look for the extender’s SSID in the available networks list.
When it becomes visible, click on its name and then click on the Connect button.
The computer/wireless device will now attempt to connect to the network and once it does, a notification will be shown on the device screen.

Note: If you are unable to see the network name in the list, restart your tp-link extender and try again. If it asks for a password, it means the extender has been configured before, and you’ll need to type in the password to connect to the same. If you wish to configure the extender settings afresh, reset your tp-link range extender settings and try again with the steps as discussed above.

RESOLVING KEY ISSUES WITH THE TP-LINK SETUP PROCESS

While you are trying to access the login page, or have already logged in to the setup wizard and are stuck at some step during the network configuration, there are steps you can take to resolve key issues that might arise. Some of the common issues that users face are:

Unable to access the login page,
Forgotten username and password,
Poor Network Performance.

Now, the moment you realize you are having trouble with the extender setup process, it is important to identify the core issue. Irrespective of the issue that you’re facing, you can always follow some basic troubleshooting steps to troubleshoot the same. Here are some steps you can follow to eliminate the said issues:

RESTART YOUR NETWORK DEVICES

When you are facing issues related to connectivity or there are some device glitches that prevent you from setting up your device, you can always perform a device restart. Or, better yet, you can power cycle the networking devices and then try accessing your device again.

Restarting your networking devices help reset the device activity and clear any bugs that might prevent your device from establishing a successful network connection.

CHECK THE DEFAULT WEB ADDRESS/ IP ADDRESS

The default IP address or the web address that you use to access the tp-link extender setup wizard must be correct. While you can use the default details, if the IP address has been changed earlier, you’ll need to extract the correct IP address details using the network settings and then use it to access the login wizard. The correct values for the web address and the default IP address are as under:

Default web address: https://www.tplinkrepeater.net/ or https://www.tplinkextender.net/

Default IP address: https://192.168.0.254

Also, make sure you are typing these values in the address bar while you are trying to access the internet.

USE THE CORRECT DEFAULT USERNAME AND PASSWORD

If you are using incorrect credentials to access the login wizard, you won’t be able to proceed with the network setup and further settings. Therefore, always double-check the details you use for the setup process. Though the default credentials are mentioned on the product label of the device, you can always check the details for correctness in case you had changed them earlier.

Now, if you have forgotten/ lost these details, you can always recover them. However, there is a ‘conditions-apply’ asterisk. If you have lost the network password, you can simply log in to the setup wizard and change the same. But, if you have lost the admin password, the one that you use to sign in to the tp-link extender setup wizard, you will need to factory reset your device and then reconfigure the settings.

UPDATE YOUR DEVICE FIRMWARE

Updating the router/extender’s firmware versions is key to keeping it working fine at all times. If you are facing poor device performance issues like reduced bandwidth, low network speeds, or glitches in the performance and other features, there’s a high probability that your device has a firmware update still pending. To check for the latest firmware update, you can sign in to the device settings page and navigate to the device administration settings. If there’s an update pending you can update the same by clicking on the ‘Update Firmware’ button. Your extender will now restart and you can now benefit from increased network speeds.
