Hey all.

Bought this today and I followed the quick start. I couldn't find the TP link extender on the WiFi, only my router. So I tried the pairing, and that seemed to work (ethernet from router to adapter, with extender paired in the same room).

So I unplugged the extender and then took it upstairs. All lights on apart from the ethernet as we're just using it wirelessly in the upstairs room. I tried doing a speed test but didn't notice any difference. But then it got me thinking, the phone where I did the test is on my home network. So my questions are:

1. Why didn't the TP link show on the WiFi as a separate thing?

2. How do I know if the power line is working and it's carrying that signal up the stairs?

3. How do I know if it's not just boosting the current signal and poorly at that? So is that what pairing does, just boosts or pairs through the power line using the same WiFi option and login for my router as opposed to separate?

4. What does pairing both adapters together do? Does this create a separate network too?

Also I downloaded the Tp link app and when I click on the adapter plug data rate section,  it shows a data rate travelling to it and nothing to the extender, but when I click on the extender data rate section it shows data travelling to it but nothing to the adapter. Mighty confusing.

So I did a reset on the extender and tried to pair it with the adapter however the instructions said the power will be blinking on the extender, but it was actually the WiFi blinking instead. Any ideas?

New to all this, don't know if you can tell haha.

Thanks!
