Model: TL-WR940N

I tried setting the router as a repeater on the teather app, and I cant change the extended network name. Is this router unable to extend the signal?

Hi@SittingDuck,

 

Please confirm that you have configure the router to range extender correctly, referring to TL-WR940N(EU)_V6_User Guide

Then change wireless settings as below:

1.Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the username and password you set for the router.

2.Go to Wireless > Wireless Settings.

3.Configure the basic settings for the wireless network and click Save.

  @Joseph-TP It seems that the issue was with the network adapter on my pc. As soon as I connected the router to the pc via ethernet cable, I was surprised by the speed I got (around 80mb/s). 

As for the wireless connection, when I ran a speed test on my cellphone, it read 16mb/s (5 times lower than the cabled connection). Any idea about why the loss is so huge?

Hi@SittingDuck,

For the slow speed on wireless connection, you can try different clients to test in the same location for a comparison.

If the problem only occurs on the PC wireless connection, the problem may be caused by the wireless adapter.
