Model: RE200  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I am trying to use two Wi Fi extenders to extend my wifi signal; one at the mid way point of my house and the other at the extreme end of my house from the modem (a TP-Link AX500 Hybrid Wi Fi 6 (Model VX420-G2h). The two extenders came as a 2 box set identified as AC750 Mesh Wi Fi Extender.

 

When I used the app to set up the extenders one is now set up at the mid way point of the house and my laptop is connected to that. It works.

 

Now I have a number of questions related to the second connector I've purchased and want to use at the extreme end of my house (the lounge room and master bedroom):

  • How do I do this? The instructions in a two box set relate to one extender only. The app provides for the connection to occur once and not for a second time.
  • There are no instructions anywhere. See the comments above and I'll add on the website and web searches in an attempt to locate this information.
  • Is a green power light only appropriate? Should I have used a different approach/alternative for the second extender and if so what? Is my second extender faulty? See my comments above regarding lack of information both in the boxes and elsewhere.

 

PS I contacted my ISP and they tried to help me for 30 minutes and couldn't find answers either.

 

Can anybody help with next steps?

 

Thank you

 

Susan

Hello   @Snooze 

Wish we could help, second extender set up process is exact the same as the first extender. 

If you have two range extenders, it is recommended to connect both to the WIFi router

If you have a very long area and main router's Wifi signal is too weak for the second extender, it is recommended to use one of the extenders in AP mode as suggested in QA below. 

Q3.6 Can I use more than 1 range extender in the house? Can I connect a wifi extender to another wifi extender?
