Hi,
Is there a guide or can anyone please help me setup the TP-Link EAP110 as a repeater?
I cannot find a guide on how to do this and am not very clued up about how these things work.
I have a router upstairs with a Cat5 cable running downstairs, I wish to plug in the EAP110 and use it as a repeater downstairs.I would want it to be the same WiFi network as upstairs (from the router).
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.

I have two of these in the ceilings in my new house. Can I set them up so they just extend the network from my Wi-Fi hub (they are linked through Ethernet in the walls) or do they have to show up as new wireless networks?

EAP products support seamless roaming function. You can just set same SSID in EAP110 as the uplink wireless router. Then when you walk around in your house, then mobile device will switch to the AP with best signal automatically. It just like you have extended the wireless network.

The term 'repeater' is not what you want. A repeater connects wirelessly to an access point, and repeats everything to extend range.
Like @jonas said, these are access points. If you set them up with the same network name (SSID) and security settings (WPA2-PSK with the same password), your client device will automatically connect to whichever one is best. That is what you really want.

@Questionmark and what if I would like to use an EAP as a repeater? Is it possible?
I have a wireless network and I need to connect an EAP without cable and extend my network with it.
is it possible?

@Manzog, no, this is not possible. EAPs don't support repeater mode, they are just access points, nothing more.
