Model : TL-WA730RE

Hardware Version : V2

Firmware Version :

My question is:

Is it possible to install two TL-WA73ORE Range extenders onto a home network from the same Router?

I am trying to install in a clients house but cant get the second one to connect to the internet. It connects to the network, have good signal (50%) connected, but cant get interent.

Set up is one Extender is upstairs extending the router the the other i am trying to set up for downstairs again to the router with the router being in the center of them both as
follows:

Extender (1) -----------------ADSL ROUTER----------------Extender (2)

Could anyone tell me if it is possible to connect 2 of these onto the same router?

Many thanks

Yes, you can. Technical speaking, multiple WIFI repeater connect to one AP/Router station, is similar with, multiple wireless client (notebook/iPad) connect to one AP/Router station.

Simon1379 for sure you are trying to connect the second 730 as you set the first one, you did not post info. of what you did, by default Tp-Link extenders come with either 192.168. 0.254 or 192.168. 1.254 we do not know what your ADSL ROUTER uses, only you know, so all you have to do is something like this.
if 730 #1 is set to 192.168.0.10
set 730 #2 to 192.168.0.11 this is just and example, only you know the subnet from your ADSL ROUTER

ok Thank you.
I think I had the Gateway set on both devices as 192.168.1.1. Is this correct?

Ive set Extender1 to static IP address of:
192.168.1.193
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.1

Extender2 set to static IP of:
192.168.1.194
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.1

I am using a TP-Link TD-W8951ND Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router to connect them to.
IP: 192.168.1.1

All on Channel: 1

Is this the correct setup?

this is not clear to me, cause on a extender mode you do not have control of the channel, uses your ADSL ROUTER channel.

only if that its your gateway from your ADSL ROUTER, i never use gateway on extender, no dif.
if your ADSL ROUTER supports WDS, set 730 as WDS Repeater, works better, see picture
