Model: RE315  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hi, I set up my Range extender RE315 by pressing the WPS button on the router and then the WPS button on the extender as described in the installation guide. It works fine with an Ethernet connection, but the password to access it via Wi-Fi does not appear to be the same as the router despite the claim that it should be. I have tried the original wireless key that the router came with as well as the current one. It just says incorrect password. The router is a technicolor TG588v v2. Thanks for any help.

If the WPS method doesn't work for you try the one through the RE315's WebGUI - details.

  @terziyski  Thanks for that. I reset the RE315 and went to http://tplinkrepeater.net on my laptop and set it up that way. The password for the range extender is now the same as the router.
