about What i must do?

if you are using WEP security its Universal Repeater mode here http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=348
And if you use WPA security Client mode here http://www.tp-link.us/article/?id=318 in this case you will only get internet by Lan cable you will have to add a router like the 740 and disable DHCP to act as a AP here http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=417
but this configurations are to extend your wi-fi meaning that the 5210 will be far from your router, as your post reads put the antenna at my rooter if you just want that i would use the 5210 next to router as a regular AP, let me remind you that the idea of 5210 is 2.4GHz High Power Wireless Outdoor CPE

Well i managed to enter at tp link ....exept ip i must put and dns server addresses,i saw it from the links you gave me :)

I dont know very good english maybe wasnt clear or i didnt understand what you are saying....i`m thinking to connect with lan cable the 5210 with the rooter....rooter is inside home and 5210 i`ll put it outside so the range of my wifi will be bigger....,i want to use 5210 as a transmiter .....the receiver will be a laptop....so i cant connect the receiver(laptop) with 5210 by a wire.

your post i`m thinking to connect with lan cable the 5210 with the rooter then just do this.
operation mode AP Acces Point, its chosen by default, just check and save
Wireless basic settings ssid is written by default you can change it to any name you wabt or leave it, choose your country, save
Wireless mode setting choose Acces Point and ,make sure enable ssid broadcast is check, save
Wireless security is disable by default if you want any choose yours and save.
now just look for your new SSID you have in 5210 and connect wireless.

I did what you tell me and yes now with laptop i scan two wifi signals....the one is from my rooter(1-2 line signal) and another from tplink full signal but when i connected there the speed was very very slow and the internet access i was loosing for while(4-5 seconds) and very often...i try to connect at other signal from the rooter this time with the low signal but i had those two problems too....i turn the 5210 off and i connect again with my rooters low signal and all was ok....much faster and no problems with the no internet access i had. :(

Thanks for your patience :)

as yopu post i scan two wifi signals... its normal using this mode
what you can do about slow internet, change the channel in Wireless Basic Settimgs, for sure you have it in Auto

thats why on post #6 i suggested Universal Repeater here http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=348 5210 dont have to be connected via lan cable to your router the 5210 will be a wireless Universal Repeater and you will see only one SSID wifi signal.
