How do I set up the extender to work as an Access Point?
Log into the web management page at http://tplinkrepeater.net, click Mode in the top right corner, select Access Point, and click Save. The extender will reboot and switch to Access Point mode, after which you should connect it to your modem or wired router via an Ethernet cable. Then log back in and go to Quick Setup to configure your wireless settings.
