Model: TL-WR940N  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I tried setting the router as a repeater on the teather app, and I cant change the extended network name. Is this router unable to extend the signal?

  @Joseph-TP It seems that the issue was with the network adapter on my pc. As soon as I connected the router to the pc via ethernet cable, I was surprised by the speed I got (around 80mb/s). 

As for the wireless connection, when I ran a speed test on my cellphone, it read 16mb/s (5 times lower than the cabled connection). Any idea about why the loss is so huge?

Hi@SittingDuck,

For the slow speed on wireless connection, you can try different clients to test in the same location for a comparison.

If the problem only occurs on the PC wireless connection, the problem may be caused by the wireless adapter.
