Unify Your Wi-Fi Networks

Copy SSID and password from your router via any of the methods below to create one unified Wi-Fi network throughout your home.
Note: If your router doesn’t support the two methods below, refer to Personalize Your Networks section to manually change the extender’s Wi-Fi settings.

Method ONE: Via Wi-Fi Button
Note: You can use this method when your router has a WPS button.

1. Press your router’s WPS button.
   (Within 2 minutes) press the extender’s Wi-Fi button for 1 second. The extender’s 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi LEDs should start blinking.

2. When they turn solid on, Wi-Fi settings are copied.
   Note: If Wi-Fi settings are not copied within 2 minutes, manually change the extender’s Wi-Fi settings.

3. Relocate the extender and enjoy the internet using your router’s SSID and password.

Method TWO: Via EasyMesh
Note: You can use this method when your router supports EasyMesh.

1. Connect your computer to the extender wirelessly. Visit http://tplinkplc.net.
2. Go to EasyMesh and enable it. Then the extender will automatically join an EasyMesh network and copy the wireless settings from the main router.
3. Enjoy the internet using your router’s SSID and password. Any changes to the Wi-Fi settings of your router will be automatically copied to the extender.

Create a Secure Powerline Network by Pairing

Note: You can only pair two devices at a time. We recommend that you plug in the powerline devices near each other when pairing.

1. Press the Pair button on the adapter for 1 second. Its Power LED should start blinking.
   Note: If the Power LED does not blink, press the Pair button again.

2. (Within 2 minutes) press the extender’s Pair button for 1 second. Its Power LED should start blinking.

3. When the extender’s Powerline LED turns on, a powerline network has been successfully created.

Sync Wi-Fi Settings to More Extenders
If you have more extenders, simply plug in and pair each one with the existing adapter to join the network. Then the Wi-Fi settings will automatically sync from the existing extender to the new ones.

Personalize Your Networks
