Hi,

 

If you want to connect the RE700 to your router via Ethernet cable, then you need to switch it to "Access Point" mode.

Below is a page out of the official User Guide for the RE700. For further details just download the whole User Guide from www.tp-link.com.

 

  @woozle thanks so much, worked perfectly!

Wi-Fi extenders can boost connectivity, especially in hard-to-reach areas. Connecting via Ethernet is often the best option, as it reduces interference, improves speeds, and ensures a more stable connection, especially for streaming or gaming. And if you're waiting on a package, you can alwaystrack LaserShip package for peace of mind. Make sure your extender supports Ethernet backhaul, and simply connect it to your router. If it has Ethernet settings, check those for optimal performance. This setup often works better than relying on wireless connections alone.
