RE210
AC750 Wi-Fi Range Extender User Guide
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
2.1 Before 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 RE210, 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 RE210 is half-way between the
Wireless router and Wireless Client. If the wireless signal is not satisfactory, you may place
RE210 somewhat nearer to the Wireless router.
2) No Obstacles and Spacious - Clear obstacles in the way between RE210 and Wireless
router. It’s better to locate it in a spacious place, such as near the corridors.
3) No Interference - Keep RE210 far away from wireless interference, which may come from
electrical appliances that works in the same frequency band as RE210, 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.
2.2 Basic Requirements
Place your Range Extender in a well-ventilated place far from direct sunlight, any heater or
heating vent.
Leave at least 2 inches (5cm) space around the device for heat dissipation.
Turn off your Range Extender and unplug the power adapter in a lighting storm to avoid
damage.
4
RE210
AC750 Wi-Fi Range Extender User Guide
Use Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, Netscape Navigator 6.0
or above.
Operating temperature of the Range Extender should be 0~40 (32~104).
Operating humidity of the Range Extender should be 10%~90%RH (Non-condensing).
2.3 Connecting the Device
Figure 2-1 Typical connection of RE210
To establish a typical connection of the Range Extender, please take the following steps:
1. Connect the Cable/DSL modem to a Wireless router with an Ethernet cable.
2. Plug your RE210 directly to a standard electrical wall socket, which is near the Wireless router.
3. Connect your Wireless Clients (such as notebook, pad, smart phone, etc.) to RE210 wirelessly.
Or you can connect your PC to the sole LAN port of Range Extender via an Ethernet cable.
4. Log in the web-based management page of RE210 and complete the configurations.
(Please refer to Chapter 3 Quick Installation Guide or Chapter 4 Configure the Device
for the
configurations, as you need.) Through the web page configuration you can successfully
connect
RE210 to the wireless router.
5. Adjust an ideal location for RE210. (Please refer to Section 2.1 Before You Begin
for detailed
information about ideal location.)
