TL-WR702N setup confusion
Region : Argentina
Model : TL-WR740N
Hardware Version : V5
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Hi having some difficulty working out what mode I should be using my TL-WR702N in.
I have a Netgear router that provides both wired and wireless access.
However the wifi coverage in our bedroom is poor/patchy.
I previously used Home-plug technology to resolve the internet issue in the bedroom for online access for TV services, however I want to extend the WiFi range in the bedroom using the TL-WR702N and the home-plug connection to extend the WiFi signal without necessarily having to connect to another Access Point/Router configuration. eg. WiFi would appear to be seamless once I had wirelessly connected via the main router.
In case that's not too clear, let me give an example: Let's say the Netgear router is called MainRouter.
I have access to MainRouterwirelessly nearly everywhere and my iPad has a good strength connection and has access to the internet.
When in the bedroom the WiFi signal is poor and I want to use a combination of the wired homeplug (connected to MainRouter and this (as you would expect) has an Ethernet connection from the bedroom power socket that I want to now connect to TL-WR702N and have TL-WR702N act as an extension the MainRouter using the same WiFi credentials to login and give access to my iPad.
I previously accessed the webinterface of the TL-WR702N and set it's name and password to the same as the Netgear router, but have since had second thoughts and would appreciate some guidance.
Thanks.
