Hi, i just bought the range extender to boost wifi signal at my room.

The main router is located at 1st floor and my room is in ground floor. Before using TL-WA730RE Range Extender, the signal was very low but i can still connect both my laptop and handphone at the same time.

After usingTL-WA730RE Range Extender, the signal boost significantly. However, only 1 device can connect to the internet at a time. If the laptop is connected, handphone will have trouble connecting and vice versa. why is this happening? how do i settle this problem?

p/s: if i off the range extender, i can directly connect both device to the internet.

Thank you in advance!

hi jimasek. Thanks for your response.

I am really sorry as i dont know much about wifi settings, thus i dont know where to find DHCP Settings so i dont know whether it is disabled or not.

However, my main router is Thomson tg784n

Do you know configuration by the internet browser? There you will catch DHCP configuration.

DHCP server on my laptop is disable.

On your laptop or on your access point?
On your WA730RE it is ok, because your main DHCP server is on Thomson tg784n.
