Hi all and apologies if this has been asked before,

 

First question:  I have an Archer VR600 router at home as well as an RE 355 wifi extender.  I have installed the Tether app on my phone and can manage the devices from my phone; my question is whether the app can also be installed on my wife's phone so that she has access as well (I did not bind the Tether app)?

 

Second question:  If we can install the app on two separate phones, can I still choose to bind the app to one phone,or will that mean the other phone can no longer access the app?

 

Thanks for your help.

Yes, you can install the Tether app on different phones and you can log in with the same TP-Link cloud account on different phones so your families or friends can also use their phones to manage the devices which are bound to your TP-Link account.

 

However, if your family is managing the router or the extender, you will be kicked off.

Hi, on one of the devices we added the router in the app.  I log in to other devices with the same username and password but the router is not visible.  Where can the error be?  Do all devices need to be added to the router?

 

Thanks:

 

Viktoria
