Can't extend my network
I just got this set and whilst I can get it to work, pushing the WPS button on my router doesn't copy over the settings.
I've tried to go into the device settings and change the SSID manually to my current Router/Wifi settings but the problem is when I do that, it creates 2 networks with the same name.
How do I get it to just extend the current one please?

Hi,
To clone the router's Wi-Fi settings to the TL-WPA4220 you first push the WPS button on your router and then (within 2 minutes) push the "Wi-Fi" button of the TL-WPA4220 for about 1 - 2 seconds.

If you mean that you see two Wi-Fi networks with the same SSID when using a Wi-Fi Scanner/Analyzer software, then yes, this is normal.
Every Wi-Fi AP broadcasts its own network. Whether the network names (SSIDs) are the same or different makes no difference.
