Hello...

I have problem to setup my TL-WA5210G.
I want to extend my friend WI-FI signal with "repeater mode" but no success.

I have set unit as repeater mode, I enter MAC of friend AP... nothing.
This guest AP also has PSK key (secure mode). Where can I put key in?

Any idea?

Thank you..
Erik

TL-WA5210G only supports WEP security type when it works at repeater mode.
Refer to the following link to configure it: http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=348

if your router has WPA use CLIENT MODE here http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=318 5210 will only give you internet via lan cable, you will have to add a router or AP to deliver wireless in your home.
A router like TL-WR740N configured as AP will do http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=417
