Model: RE305   Archer A6  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version:

Hi to all. I'm a basic user, so please forgive any error.

 

I have an outdoor FWA connection with Vodafone Power Station. 

I connected to the Power Station an Archer A6 V2.0 with an Ethernet cable (LAN), to extend the WiFi coverage and it works fine. 

I would like to connect a Tp-link repeater RE305 to the Archer A6 via Ethernet cable, to further extend the Wi-Fi network (LAN cascade).

I see the RE305 can be used also as access-point, if connected with a cable, simply choosing the right operation mode (access-point).

 

Since the instructions tell that RE305 can be used as access-point when cable connected to a "main router", 

do you think it is possible to use it in my desired way (third level in the LAN cascade)?

 

Thanks for your attention.

Raf

Hi@RAFFAR,

Thank you for contacting our community.

Before you set the RE305 as an Access Point, please reset it firstly:

With the power on, use a pin to press the reset hole for 1sec.

 @terziyski and @Joseph-TP 

Thanks for your help, all done and works perfectly!

Before that, using RE305 as repeater for the Wi-Fi signal source (TP-link Archer A6) gave me about 15 Mb/s in download and 8 Mb/s in upload.

Now, using RE305 as access point connected to Archer A6 by Ethernet cable, gives about 50 Mb/s in download and 20 Mb/s in upload.

 

Best regards.
