TL-WA901ND seems to be working but ...Help please!

Model: TL-WA901ND

Hardware Version: V5

Firmware Version: 3.16.9 Build 160929 Rel.37753n

Hello and thank you for reading about my issue,

I set up the TL-WA901ND as a universal repeater and when I log into ttplinkap.net and check the status it seems to be sending and receiving packages.

I set it up in on the first floor of our house, because some rooms have a good connection (160 MB/s) and other rooms have a bad connection (15 MB/s). So I was hoping to install it in one of the rooms and get a better signal there, but alas the connection is still as bad in these rooms.

Am I missing something? The repeater is set up as the same name and password as the router so I can't choose a different connection (I guess it isn't necesairy?). But what could it be?

Greetings and thank you again for helping me out.

@skillith You can get 160 MB/s when conncet to your router wifi, right? It‘s the 5G wifi or 2.4G. Normally 5G wifi has better speed than 2.4G. But 2.4G has better converage.

Also TL-WA901ND only supports 2.4G wifi.

Here is my suggestion.

1. Please get 901ND close to your router to ensure a better and stability connection.

2. Put TL-WA901ND away from large electrical applicances to minimize interference.

@Kevin_Z Thank you for your response,

- You can get 160 MB/s when conncet to your router wifi, right? It‘s the 5G wifi or 2.4G: So when i'm on the ground floor my phone connects to the 5ghz of the router and i get 200 Mb/s speeds, when I'm on the first floor where I installed the TP-link, my phone connects to its 2,4 Ghz networka and i get speeds betweed 10 mb/s and 20 MB/s (bu it also keeps saying obtaining ip adress).

- Please get 901ND close to your router to ensure a better and stability connection: If I put the Tp-link on the ground floor, next to the router, will its connection still reach to the first and second floor? And does that mean the speed of all the connection drops dramatically?

- Put TL-WA901ND away from large electrical applicances to minimize interference: The Tp-link is on the first floor and isn't surrounded by any appliances.

Could you give me further advice? Thank you very much!

Greetings,

Sam
