Hello,

I've bought a WiFi range extender TL-WA850RE. This extender has an ethernet input, on the bottom side.

I would like to connect this range extender directly to my router, using an ethernet cable, so it can take the full speed of my router and expand it without any loss.

The problem of connecting these range extenders via wireless connection is that, if it is far way from the router, the signal is weak and what the range extender does is spreading that weak signal, so if I have 300 mbps and I put my wifi range extender 10 meters away, if I receive just 20 mbps at that place, the range extender will spread the signal it is receiving, in that case 20 mbps.

I don't want that. I want the range extender receive the signal with 100% of quality, via ethernet cable, so I want to connect it to the router via ethernet cable to avoid any signal loss and then, I want it spread the signal (as it was received via cable, so it should not have lost any quality). With this, I want that, at the point it is placed the TL-WA850RE WiFi range extender the signal be spreaded with the maximum quality (in my case, cable 300 mpbs)

How may I do this?
