How to route internet through RE505X when set up as Access point via Ethernet on PC?
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I just purchased an RE505X to use as a private network with the Oculus Quest 2 VR headset. I have it connected to my PC via a CAT6 cable. When I use it as an extender the max link speed reads as 173 Mbps on the 5GHz channel. When I use it as an AP I get 866Mbps. I also have a USB wifi adapter attached to my PC that connects via wifi to my router. My question is how do I use the RE505X as an AP while bridging my USB wifi connection to it? For example if I connect to the AP currently I have no internet connection but want to be able to use the internet connection my PC has via the USB adapter. How do I do this?
@MrGoto Good day!
Thank you for your explanation, it’s more clear now 
Please make sure extender have a different SSID from router ( so we could easier to identify RE's wifi ) and set up different SSIDs for RE505X 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wifi.
If you have a Tether app installed, here is an FAQ to change SSIDs on Tether app ( disable "Smart connect " have that option : https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/2540/
Please make sure your cell phone/ laptop is connected to RE's 5Ghz band and double check the Link speed, may I have a photo of it, thank you!
