@Jett Chaim Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

as Abey Austin said, follow this to avoid no internet connection iusse after electricity shutdown or after reboot: Hey guys, there is something that I would like to add. Some of you might run into issues when you reboot the primary & secondary router. I was having issues where the secondary router to not connecting primary one after reboot. I resolved it by setting the Primary router's channel to a fixed channel (For eg. Channel 8) and make sure that secondary router is also in same channel when going through the tutorial in this video (Timestamp : 2:07). It resolved my issue.

Thank you soo much!! I followed many videos but none of dem worked.. finally this one worked!! Now i get internet on both the floors wirelessly. For others who are trying, my primary modem/router is d-link DSL 224 and secondary or repeater router is tp-link wr841n.
FYI, the newer model(?), TL-WR841N, has a slightly different interface than the one shown in the video. There's now an Operation Mode menu item that features 4 options the device can be configured for: Wireless Router, WISP, Access Point, and Range Extender. Those watching this video are most interested in the last one, but it pays to read the definition of what the other three do. Clicking the desired radio button, then 'Save', sets up the DHCP and several other items for you automatically that are manually configured above. The only thing you need to do is type in the password of your chosen root router and Save. Good Luck!
Thank you for this very clear clip! I just converted a router into a range extender and I can confirm it worked perfectly for me. The model converted is a TP-LINK WR1043ND.
Hi, first thanks for the tutorial, but I wanna ask some question. I've already follow all your instruction but I cant still reach the internet. I checked the WDS status it's INIT and not ASSOC. Is there something wrong with it ? Should I connect the LAN Cable from the primary router to my secondary router ? FYI, I'm using TP Link TL-WR841N for my secondary router and ZTE F609 for my primary router. Thanks before for ur assistance.
My model is TL-WR740N V1/V2. Totally unable to be used for an extender/repeater after multiple settings and tests. The smartphone recognizes its network, but always "No internet access". Any idea?
You neglected to mention that you should set the DNS to the main router as well. Set the Primary DNS under Network-WAN to the main router IP which was 192.168.1.1 in my case. If you don't do this you may see issues depending upon your firmware.
I just got a C7 ac1750 that I am going to use as my base router & I have a D-link that I will use as my range extender. I have the D-link setup as WDS+AP & have DNS disabled so it's ready to go.I'm guessing the c7 is very similar to the c9 so I won't need to make any changes? I thought I had to enter the MAC addy of the D-link for them to connect.Anyone know of a link anywhere that shows the setup using the c7 as the base router?Or am I better of just updating the firmware to dd-wrt on the c7?All input welcome.
Hello, how can I do that that WLAN is not indicated separately (thus 1x WLan Router and 1x WLan Repeater), but only once? Otherwise I have to continue as soon as I'm out of reach, manuel in the phone or on the laptop switch ...
hello, my configured TP link extended router says, no internet, secured! my primary router is BSNL Tp link is sendodary and LAN cable connected to LAN port it doesnt have WAN port what can be done?
This does not function properly on a TP-Link router. Most TP-Link routers only have one 2.4Ghz card. If you use that card for setting up a wireless bridge. You cannot use the same card as a wireless access point. If you're lucky it works for a little while, but the card will end up mixing packages. You can however plug in a cable and connect any device wired. Which works perfectly. To get a working repeater setup you need either a router with 2 wireless cards or find another router/access point to plug that in your wireless bridge. And setup the second router as an access point With a dual band router however you can use the 2.4Ghz to setup the bridge and use the 5Ghz as the access point. Or vice versa.
I tested this, but when I use different SSID on the repeater it does not give me internet connection although when wired to the repeater directly I can connect to the internet. Does the repeater HAS TO use the same SSID for WIFI repeater? How would I know I'm connected to the repeater and not the primary router?
TP-LINK 300Mbps WiFi Repeater Wireless Extender Using this device. Can we block RUclips Channel? When the main device is not allowing blocking RUclips using block URL.
hey man! Shouldn't the ip address of the extender router be out of range of the ip addresses that is allocated by my root router's DHCP or else you can get ip address conflict?
I tried this on an Archer C50 but it didn't work. When I restart the router the WDS appears to me as disabled. I also tried the instructions on the TP-LINK support page but the same thing happens.
ok seems u know ur stuff i have a archer c9 i want to use as my base and a netgear 3700 i want to use as the repeater i got the settings for the 3700 but cAnt figure out the settings for the c9 help
did you get the mbps improved as well after the signa fully boosted? for my case i have the signal boosted but the speed remains same which is 1/4 th from the main router. Anyone knows why?
I am able to do all the steps, but i cant access the internet. After completing all the steps a remark pops up stating ‘ WAN Port in Unplugged’ . In these circumstances what should i do
if i want to turn off my secondary Wi-Fi router temporarily so what should I do because when tried to turn my router off directly with switch it's not connecting again
Wanted to use tp-link wr841n as repeater. Could not connect. So I installed dd-wrt software on my tp-link router. I set the router as a repeater My router connects now very quickly. And I could also change the bandwidth of my connection. My Internet lasts very long on my pc.
There is a solution for people having problem of no internet n repeating the setup everytime there is a power cut. Keep the channel number of primary router on a fixed number n not auto. N then keep the channel number of repeater as d same as d primary. U will gt ur internet
After I disable dhcp, I'm not able to connect to the wifi. I've followed the same steps atleast 5 times now, but every time I disable dhcp I stop getting connected to wifi.
Greeting, I did everything as it was in video and managed to connect routers, but I have one problem. Internet speed on the second router (repeater) is only 2mbps, while the main router is 40mbps. Does anyone know where I am and what can I do to get the same speed as the main router. Otherwise, I use the TP link WR720N as the main router, while I use the WR740N as the second router. Thank you in advance.
Can somebody explain me strength of wifi signals please. I got two wifi signals one is at 15db another is at 35db Which one has more signal strength? I am confused.
The wifi connection from the range extender router cuts off about every two hours and then comes back on after a couple minutes. How would you fix this problem?
THE TECHIE STOP WR720N nd Ver.2.0. brother sometimes I.'ve problm.regarding this router sometimes this router giveup internet in our mobile .why ? and sent nd recieve mbps stopped for few hours and mnts.
It works. but when the main router (not the router used as a repeater) is switched off and switched on again, the repeater cannot be connected . How do you solve this?
After I turn off my DHCP, I cannot connect any device wirelessly to the TP-Link router which I want to use as a repeater. My root device is a 4g wireless wifi standalone device. Please guide.
I did it all but i cant connect to internet but im connected to the main wifi. It says that "DNS server not responding". Please help me. I need it badly

thanx dude , but i got a problem i cant access my second router which i used for extending range whenever i enter the changed ip i.e 192.168.1.2 i cant acess it rather i can acess the primary router i.e 192.168.0.1 with default gateway ip how can i acess both router i got working internet connection but still i cant acess the secondary router used for extending range plzz help .
I do every step and works perfectly, but after 2 days it disconnects and in pc i cant connect in phone says cant get ip address. Any idea how to fix it??
+xSnakeStyles Since your primary router will be handing out IP addresses on your network, you do not want the bridged router also trying to assume this role
Hi. My main router ip address is 192.168.178.1 what should i make the ip address for the another router which i have to change, plz tell me. Another router is tp link.
It is altogether useless practice to make a video without voice. First you should mention what are you going to do, then clealy mention command to click so that one can gain knowledge following your steps. To me it's for a person who already have ample knowledge of networking & configuration. Hope you will guide us in the right way. Regards.

I'm writing this comment using the range extender that you just helped me set up. Thank you!
Thank you soo much!! I followed many videos but none of dem worked.. finally this one worked!! Now i get internet on both the floors wirelessly.
For others who are trying, my primary modem/router is d-link DSL 224 and secondary or repeater router is tp-link wr841n.
i was without internet for over a month now. thanks to your video i got my repeater working :D
Very informative. Works like charm. Used it with TL-WR842ND as extender.
FYI, the newer model(?), TL-WR841N, has a slightly different interface than the one shown in the video. There's now an Operation Mode menu item that features 4 options the device can be configured for: Wireless Router, WISP, Access Point, and Range Extender. Those watching this video are most interested in the last one, but it pays to read the definition of what the other three do. Clicking the desired radio button, then 'Save', sets up the DHCP and several other items for you automatically that are manually configured above. The only thing you need to do is type in the password of your chosen root router and Save. Good Luck!
It worked for me. I added a Tp link 841nd as repeater for my Asus AC56U main router. Thanks !
When setting up we need to use the first router WiFi or lan cable.
Thank you for this very clear clip!
I just converted a router into a range extender and I can confirm it worked perfectly for me. The model converted is a TP-LINK WR1043ND.
Worked on WR941ND. Finally have good signals in backyard too.

+Sydney23 yes it will work
no it won't
+Sydney23 as per tplink website its says it has wds bridge feature
but not as a wireless one, does it?
yes it says its a modem router, but you can't do that with a modem router, you need a wireless router to use it as a range extender!
WDS status jumps from Init to Scan to Run every 4 sec - what is wrong ? Thank you for any help.
hello, my configured TP link extended router says, no internet, secured!
my primary router is BSNL
