The tplinkrepeater.net and tplinkextender.net addresses are used to enter the settings for the TP-Link Wi-Fi signal boosters. They are also Wi-Fi signal repeaters, or repeaters. The task of these devices is to connect to the router's wireless network and amplify its signal. I think you already know that.
If you went to this page, then most likely you need to go to the control panel of your repeater. But you don't know how to do it, or you know, but it doesn't work. These devices, like routers, have their own web interface. There are not many settings there, but it is there. In general, Wi-Fi amplifiers are made in such a way that you can configure them without entering the control panel at all. Just press the button on the amplifier itself and the WPS button on the router. You can look at the example of setting up TP-Link AC750 RE210. But in the settings, you can install the device (if WPS does not work, or is not possible), change the Wi-Fi settings, reconfigure the repeater, view the list of clients, turn off the indicators, etc.
The address tplinkextender.net, or tplinkrepeater.net, you most likely looked at the sticker on the amplifier itself. If not, you can take a look at it. The font is very small there, but you can see it. The factory login (username) is also indicated there: admin, and the factory password (password): also admin.
Username and password must be specified in the authorization window when entering the TP-Link repeater settings. Not infrequently there are situations when you do not enter the settings, the page does not open and the authorization window does not appear. We will also try to understand these problems in this article.
Now we will take a closer look at the process of accessing the settings at tplinkrepeater.net (this address is indicated on my AC750 RE210), or tplinkextender.net. This manual is suitable for all repeaters from TP-Link: RE210, RE200, TL-WA860RE, TL-WA850RE, TL-WA854RE, TL-WA750RE, TL-WA830RE, TL-WA730RE.
How do I sign in to tplinkextender.net, or tplinkrepeater.net?
First you need to connect your device (PC, laptop, smartphone, tablet), from which you will enter the web interface to the amplifier. You can connect in two ways:
After connecting, open any browser and in the address bar (not in the search bar!), Enter the address that is indicated on the sticker of your amplifier. I go tohttp://tplinkrepeater.net (can be entered without "http: //"). You may have an addresstplinkextender.net.
An authorization window should appear with a request for a username and password. Factory: admin and admin... We enter them and press the "Login" button. If the username and / or password are not suitable, a message appears that the password is incorrect, then they may have been changed. You need to reset the settings by holding down the Reset button for 10 seconds.
A page with the settings of our amplifier will open. If it is new (not yet configured), then the quick setup wizard will immediately open, with which you can connect the extender to the Wi-Fi network that you need to strengthen.
Main page with connection status and other settings:
The new control panel looks like this:
At the beginning of the article, I gave links to detailed instructions for setting up some models. You may find them useful.
Doesn't go into settings, authorization window doesn't open
The most common problem is when, after trying to go to the tplinkrepeater.net address (or another address), the authorization request page does not open. And an error appears that the page is unavailable, a site is being disconnected, or search results in one of the search engines. Most often, this is the TP-Link website with a description of possible causes and solutions (albeit in English).
Most likely, you are simply not connected to the repeater, or you are using the wrong address to access the settings. Now let's try to figure it out.
Why not visit tplinkrepeater.net or tplinkextender.net?
Below I will list the most common causes, and their solutions. Go through each item carefully. Try the recommendations and check the settings.
- Look at the address listed on the body of your Wi-Fi amplifier.
- Enter the address strictly in the address bar of the browser. Try using a different browser. You can try opening tplinkrepeater.net / tplinkextender.net through Internet Explorer, or Microsoft Edge.
- Try to go to settings by IP address192.168.0.254... This address is used by default on TP-Link repeaters.
- Make sure you are directly connected to the repeater. Via cable or Wi-Fi network. If, for example, you are connected via a wireless network, then disconnect the cable from the computer. And vice versa.
- You can try to connect and enter the settings from another device.
- From a smartphone or tablet (Android or iOS), you can access the settings via the TP-Link Tether app. Through this program, you can configure a Wi-Fi network repeater.
- Another option: go to the router settings, and in the list of Wi-Fi clients (or DHCP server) we look at the IP address of our amplifier. If it is connected to a router. We go to this IP and get into the web interface.
- You can also always reset the repeater settings by holding down the Reset button for 10 seconds.
