Model: TL-WA850RE

Hardware Version: V7

Firmware Version:

Hi.

i wanted to use the tplink range extender as a repeater in ethernet mode.

Basically instead of connecting the RE to the my home router in wireless mode, i would want to connect RE using an ethernet cable to my home router.

Is such setup possible for my particular RE model.

Please help..!

Thanks.

@yafisDa Hello,

When Router ---RE connected via Ethernet cable, RE should work in AP Mode which transfers wired connection to Wirless one.

You could refer to this instruction to set up Access Point for RE:
