Model : TL-WA830RE

Hardware Version :

Firmware Version :

ISP :


A friend has purchased a TL-WA830RE and is trying to configure it as an wireless Access Point. I sid that I suspect the reference to AP in it's specs means that it can connect and repeat a wireless signal from either a wireless Router or a wireless AP. The provided Ethernet port is there for configuration purposes.

Can someone please if I am correct? Or can the TL-WA830RE be used as an AP by connecting an Ethernet cable to its Ethernet port and performing some special configuration to mke it work as an AP?

Thanks

Russell

WA830RE has two operation modes, access point and range extender.
You can check its emulator here.
