RichCor Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 http://www.tp-link.com/en/faq-327.html Caveat: Wireless repeater mode generally only work well with same branded equipment, and sometimes only with the same/similar model class. Trying to create and keep a link with other-branded equipment isn't always successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyf Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I have done that but my router was a TP Link, the 8968 model. When I asked about distribution they said I should use a TL-WA801ND which is an access point. That was easy to set up and works quite well. The model you have is very old, but in a new case. I was given one by TP Link as a replacement for my old TOT router and when I tried it out the software was just the same as the TOT. You may be struggling with outdated software.
