Tl

     
My ISP provided me with a new modem that is already a router with WiFi and some ports.

Bạn đang xem: Tl

I would lượt thích to use my TP-LINK TL-WR740N as a wireless repeater, putting it in another room và connecting lớn my ISP router using WiFi. Is that possible?

I made it work by connecting it with cables, but I would like to make it wireless.

Thsi answer is WRONG. Sorry about this. Please neglect it.

No, unfortunately you cannot. Your model only has one wireless interface, while a repeater needs two. A single card repeater will wnd up talking lớn clients half of the time, và to its base station the other half of the time, thus cutting bandwidth in half.

In fact, its User"s Guide makes no mention of alternative modes lượt thích wireless repeater, range extender, wireless bridge, which are all roughly synonims.

The term WDS does indicate its ability lớn partake in a Wireless Distribution System, however I believe it is meant to lớn indicate that it can act as a base station, not a relay-station as required by the OP. Besides, in the manual mentioned above, there is no discussion of WDSes.

Yes, you can!

According khổng lồ this liên kết provided by TP Link, you cand make the settings. I have multiple TP link routers at home, all configured as WDS repeaters after this settings and entire network is working fine.

Follow this steps:

1. Login into root AP or extended AP and enable WDS under: Wireless -> Wireless Settings.2. Click on Search/Survey button và click Connect to lớn desired SSID Wireless Network.3. On the password input, put your main SSID Wireless password (should be the same) và Save settings.4. Disable DHCP under: Wireless -> Wireless Security.5. Reboot router/AP.Note:

1. LAN IP of extended router should be different but in the same subnet of the root router;2. The DHCP hệ thống on extended router should be disabled;3. WDS bridging only requires the WDS setting on either the root router or the extended router.note: The accepted answer is incorrect.

Attention!

You can mix a WR740N as a repeater according to the instructions given by other users before me but you also have to lớn go to the main router và make it aware (there is a special setting that depends of your main router connected directly khổng lồ the internet) your WR740N exists. If you do not change anything in the main router your WR740N will only work as a repeater for a while (a few hours or days) và then it will stop unexpectedly.

WR740N does not work elegantly like a range extender (a NETGEAR for example) where there is no need lớn modify any settings in the main router.
