Cara Setting TP-LINK WR840N Sebagai Range Extender Atau Repeater Pakai HP Untuk Perluas Jaringan

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of setting up the TP-LINK WR840N as a range extender or repeater using your mobile phone. This setup expands your wireless network coverage, allowing you to improve the signal strength in areas where your main router's signal is weak.

Step 1: Prepare Your TP-LINK WR840N

• Ensure that your TP-LINK WR840N is powered on and reset to factory settings if it's been used before.
• Connect your mobile phone to the existing Wi-Fi network that you want to extend.

Step 2: Access the Router Settings

• Open a web browser on your mobile phone.
• Enter the router's default IP address in the address bar. The default is usually 192.168.0.1 or tplinkwifi.net.
• Log in using the default credentials. Typically, the username and password are both set to "admin."

Step 3: Change the Operation Mode

• After logging in, go to the Network or Operation Mode section.
• Select the Repeater or Range Extender option from the available modes.

Step 4: Configure Wireless Settings

• In the wireless settings, you will need to:
  • Scan for available networks.
  • Select the Wi-Fi network you want to extend.
  • Enter the password for the selected Wi-Fi network.
• Optionally, you can change the SSID (network name) for your extended network to differentiate it from your original network.

Step 5: Set Up Security Options

• Navigate to the Wireless Security settings.
• Ensure that the security type matches that of your main Wi-Fi network (e.g., WPA2-PSK).
• Enter the same password as your main Wi-Fi network to maintain security.

Step 6: Save and Reboot

• Save your settings.
• Reboot the TP-LINK WR840N to apply the changes.
• After rebooting, the router should begin extending your network.

Step 7: Test the Connection

• Disconnect your mobile phone from the main Wi-Fi network.
• Connect to the newly extended network.
• Check the signal strength in areas where it was previously weak to ensure the setup was successful.

Conclusion

You have now successfully set up your TP-LINK WR840N as a range extender. This configuration should provide better Wi-Fi coverage in your home or office. If you encounter any issues, double-check your settings or consult the user manual for troubleshooting tips. Enjoy your improved network connectivity!
