How to configure Repeater mode of the Wireless N Access Point (new logo)?

In Repeater mode, the access point extends the range of an existing Wi-Fi network. This mode is suitable when you are in a Wi-Fi dead-zone or a place with weak wireless signal, and you want to have a larger effective range of the wireless signal throughout your home or office.

1. Log in the web-based management of the Access Point. For detailed instruction, please refer to How to log in the web-based management interface of Wireless N Access Point (new logo)?

Here takes TL-WA901ND as demonstration.

2. Go to Quick Setup and click Next to start.

3. If you want to change your login account, click YES. Then enter your old username and password, then a new username and password. If not, click Next to move on.

7. Select the LAN IP type of the access point or leave the default setting Smart IP for most cases, and then click Next.
