Region : Greece

Model : TL-WA5210G

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version :

ISP :


So basically at my balcony I can connect to WiFi signals that I can't connect in my house

I have a tplink 5210g, and what i want to do is to put it in my balcony and send the signal inside my house, but not as ethernet as wifi because I have a lot of devices in my house

I followed this guide https://www.google.gr/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=GvUaVJK3Lsb5PIrDgcgD&url=http://www.tp-link.com/gr/article/%3Fid%3D348&cd=1&ved=0CBoQFjAA&usg=AFQjCNFzT9lVk0545HdIuS1WTaT5qPm6TQ&sig2=DErNRLEigDKKJAf5S45cMg

But as you know I can't access the router's settings of my neighbor. So what am i supposed to do?

P.S They have givven me the password for the wifi

It is not a good idea to use WA5210G in repeater mode but give a try, http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=348.

This is the link that i have attacked at my question :D


6. Do the same Wireless Security Settings as your Root Router.

I don't have access to the router

And if tp link 5210g is not what i need in the case i described, what product would you reccommend? For example maybe TP-LINK TL-WA854RE?

But first i need to know why tp link 5210g is not reccommended for repeater mode, as its one of it's features

You know neighbor's password instead of security type, right?
5210G only supports WEP or no security in repeater mode... You may try WEP.
You should consult TP-LINK technical support to find a proper device for you...:)
