Use Extender as an Access Point

2020-05-31 12:21:57 - last edited 2020-06-02 08:58:09

Model: RE200

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

I am attempting to set up my RE200 Extender as an Access Point and have followed the instructions in the user manual, but have hit a snag!

The instructions state that after logging into http://tplinkrepeater.net I should click on Mode in the top right corner of the page!

There is no Mode in the top right of the page, or anywhere else on the page! It simply has a header with TP-Link and the model number, below which are the following setting options.

Status

Quick Setup Wizard

Network

Wireless

LED On/Off

System Tools

I have checked each of these and can find no Mode selection available!

The only possible I can find is within Wireless / Advanced Settings, which gives me a selection option of 'Enable AP Isolation'!

Any ideas?

@Bazzac

What is the hardware version of your RE200? If it is V1, sorry that it doesn't support the Access Point mode and only V2/V3/V4 support the Access Point mode, you may also refer to the User Guide for V1:

https://static.tp-link.com/res/down/doc/RE200(EU)_V1_UG.pdf

However, if your RE200 is V2/V3/V4, please refer to the below FAQ to set it up as an Access Point:
