TL-WR740N as Repeater LAN SETUP

2020-09-04 06:44:51 - last edited 2020-09-04 06:59:58

Good day!

I have successfully setup TL-WR740N as a repeater to the main internet router.

How do I setup the TL-WR740N repeater to connect a device through ethernet cable (cat5e)? (Buying a wi-fi usb dongle is not an option, for now ;)

Here are some settings.

Main router: Huawei HG8145V

IP address: 192.168.1.1

Repeater router: TL-WR740N

Default IP address: 192.168.0.1

I have read this article from your website:

https://www.tp-link.com/ph/support/faq/227/

I have changed TL-WR740N repeater to 192.168.1.102

And then I gave the connected PC this setting:

IP address: 192.168.1.103

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Default gateway: 192.168.1.102

Then it says unidentified network, no internet access. (Same result with Automatic IP address)

Please help.

@Ramzie

Hello,

Please refer to the below guide to reset the WR740N and reconfigure it to connect to the Huawei HG8145V:
https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/1385/

If the internet is still not working when you connect a phone or laptop to the WR740N, please confirm the below details:

1. Check what is the IP address on your phone or laptop.

2. Connect the phone or laptop to the host wireless network of the Huawei HG8145V, check the IP address as well, and compare the two. If the IP address is in the same IP range and the default gateway is the same, which means the internet should be good, you may try to restart the modem and the WR740N and confirm again.

May it help.
