Q1. Can the range extender work with a non-TP-Link router?
• Yes. The range extender works with almost any Wi-Fi router. But it may not be compatible with routers
or gateways with firmware that has been altered, or is non-standard or outdated.
Q2. I have two range extenders, how can I connect them to my home network?
• Generally we suggest connecting all the extenders to the router for better performance. You can also
connect one extender to another extender which already gets connected to your router, however we
don’t recommend adding more than two extenders to one single link chain in consideration of the Wi-Fi
quality.
