5. Enable the router's MAC filter, wireless access control, or ACL. Now, you have successfully configured your extender. T5. How can I know that my wireless signal has been boosted by extender? An easy way is to compare the signal strength of your target wireless network (symbolized by its SSID), with extender in operation vs. out of operation. Before comparison, you'd better make sure your computer can obtain an IP address from your target wireless network and thus access the Internet, either via extender or without. T6. Will the extender work if I connect its ETHERNET port to the router via Ethernet cable? Sorry, it won't work. The extender is designed to connect wirelessly to the router, while the ETHERNET port is designed to connect with a wired device, like Internet TV, Gaming console, DVR and so on. T7. Why does the wireless transmission rate speed down, while the wireless signal is stronger after repeated by extender? In compliance with the wireless transmission protocol, all the extender devices are set to work in half-duplex instead of full-duplex mode. In other words, the extender has to process one-way communication between your root Wireless router (or AP) and the terminal clients; so the transmission time will be double-increased, while the speed will be decreased. TP-LINK recommends that you connect to the extender when your home network connection is poor, or when you want a larger wireless coverage to eliminate "dead zone".

Appendix
5.
Enable the router’s MAC filter, wireless access control,
or ACL.
Now, you have successfully configured your extender.
T5. How can I know that my wireless signal has been boosted by extender?
An easy way is to compare the signal strength of your target wireless
network (symbolized by its SSID), with extender in operation vs. out of
operation. Before comparison, you’d
better make sure your computer can
obtain an IP address from your target wireless network and thus access
the Internet, either via extender or without.
T6. Will the extender work if I connect its ETHERNET port to the router via
Ethernet cable?
S
orry, it won’t work. The
extender is designed to connect wirelessly to the
router, while the ETHERNET port is designed to connect with a wired
device, like Internet TV, Gaming console, DVR and so on.
T7. Why does the wireless transmission rate speed down, while the wireless
signal is stronger after repeated by extender?
In compliance with the wireless transmission protocol, all the extender
devices are set to work in half-duplex instead of full-duplex mode. In other
words, the extender has to process one-way communication between your
root Wireless router (or AP) and the terminal clients; so the transmission
time will be double-increased, while the speed will be decreased. TP-LINK
recommends that you connect to the extender when your home network
connection is poor, or when you want a larger wireless coverage to
eliminate “dead zone”.
