Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version:

Hi all,

 

I looked on Internet and I did not find a way to use my router Archer C50 as a wifi extender below a box (livebox). If you can help me or show me a website where it is explained...

 

When I am on http://tplinkwifi.net/ to setup the router, I only find two options "Wireless Router" and "Access Point"...

 

I thank you and wish you a good day.

From their websites, it states that it can support Range extender Mode. but upon checking in GUI it is not available. I'm still figuring it out how to use the range extender

If you have the WDS option in your router WebGUI you can use it to set up C50 as a wireless extender:

 

 

Your router WebGUI may look different depending on the FW version.

Here's how to configure.

If you can't find this option at this location, then check if you have an operation mode - range extender. If you do then switch to range extender mode and use this tutorial.

If this was helpful click once on the arrow pointing upward. If this solves your issue, click once the star to mark it as a "Recommended Solution".
