Frequently Asked Questions - RE550 TP-LINK

Why can't I access the configuration page after entering http://tplinkrepeater.net?

Make sure your computer is connected to the repeater (via Ethernet or WiFi). Check that the IP address is obtained automatically. Use the default IP address 192.168.0.254 or check the router's DHCP list. Reset the repeater if necessary.

How do I reset the repeater to factory defaults?

With the repeater powered on, press and hold the RESET button until all LEDs briefly turn off, then release.

How do I connect a wired device to the WiFi network via the repeater?

Connect the repeater to the router, then plug your device (TV, console, PC) into the Ethernet port of the repeater. The repeater acts as a WiFi client for non-WiFi devices.

Where should I place the repeater for best coverage?

Plug the repeater halfway between your router and the area you want to cover, into an accessible wall outlet. Avoid metal obstacles or thick walls.

Is the WiFi password of the repeater the same as the router's?

Yes, by default the repeater copies the SSID and password of your router. You can change them during setup.

How to configure the repeater with an iPhone or Android?

Download the TP-Link Tether app from the App Store or Google Play, then follow the step-by-step instructions.

What should I do if the WiFi connection is slow or unstable?

Check the repeater's location (too far from the router), reduce interference (microwaves, etc.), and prefer the 5 GHz band if your devices support it.

Can I use the repeater as a wireless access point?

Yes, in access point mode, connect the repeater to your router via an Ethernet cable. Refer to the manual to switch the mode.

What do the LED indicators on the repeater mean?

The Signal LED indicates the quality of the connection to the router (green = good, orange = weak, blinking = no signal). The Power LED lights up when the device is on.

How to update the firmware of the repeater?

Log into the web interface (http://tplinkrepeater.net), go to System Tools > Firmware Update and follow the instructions. You can also use the Tether app.
