zRESET: This button is used to restore the Range Extender’s factory default settings. There are two ways to reset the Range Extender’s factory defaults:

Method One: With the Range Extender powered on, use a pin to press RESET button (about 1 seconds) until all the LEDs flash once. And then release the button and wait the Range Extender to reboot to its factory default settings.

Method Two: Restore the default settings from “System Tools > Factory Defaults” of the Range Extender's Web-based Management page.

zETHERNET: One 10/100Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port used to add wireless connectivity to an Ethernet-enabled device such as Internet TV, DVR, Gaming console and so on. Please note that this port is not allowed to be connected with router or AP.

RE200 AC750 WiFi Range Extender User Guide

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation

2.1Before You Begin

Please read this User Guide carefully before installing and using the equipment. The operating distance range of your wireless connection can vary significantly depending on the physical position of the wireless devices. Factors that can weaken signals by getting in the way of your network’s radio waves are metal appliances or obstructions, and walls. Typical ranges vary based on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or office.

In order to optimize the performance of RE200, please follow the instructions below to achieve an ideal location (please make sure it is always within the wireless coverage of the wireless router).

1)Half-way Between - Generally, the ideal location for RE200 is half-way between the Wireless router and Wireless Client. If the wireless signal is not satisfactory, you may place RE200 somewhat nearer to the Wireless router.

2)No Obstacles and Spacious - Clear obstacles in the way between RE200 and Wireless router. It’s better to locate it in a spacious place, such as near the corridors.

3)No Interference - Keep RE200 far away from wireless interference, which may come from electrical appliances that works in the same frequency band as RE200, such as Blue tooth devices, cordless phones, microwave ovens, etc.

) Note:

TP-LINK recommends that you connect to the Range Extender when your home network connection is poor, or when you want a larger wireless coverage to eliminate “dead zones”. As in compliance with the wireless transmission protocol, all the Range Extender devices are set to work in half-duplex instead of full-duplex mode. In other words, the Range 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.

2.2Basic Requirements

zPlace your Range Extender in a well-ventilated place far from direct sunlight, any heater or heating vent.

zLeave at least 2 inches (5cm) space around the device for heat dissipation.

zTurn off your Range Extender and unplug the power adapter in a lighting storm to avoid damage.
