The steps below will show you how to configure your OneMesh range extender. In this example we will be using the RE300.

1. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet near your router, and then wait until the Power LED turns solid.

Note: For safety, only plug the extender in upright direction as shown below.

2. Press the WPS button on your host router which supports OneMesh function, and then press the WPS button on the extender for 1 second. This process should be done within a timeframe of two minutes.

3. Wait until the signal LED changes from blinking to solid, this indicates that the WPS connection is successful.

Note: If the LED does not become solid, try again or refer to How to Configure OneMesh Range Extender via Tether App or How to Configure OneMesh Range Extender via Web Browser.

4. Once the extender connects to an OneMesh router and it will automatically copy router’s wireless settings. For more information about OneMesh, refer to https://www.tp-link.com/onemesh/.

Note: It is recommended to enable Smart Connect on your host router to enjoy a seamless connection between dual-band networks. With Smart Connect enabled, your host router’s 2.4GHz and 5GHz share the same SSID (network name) and password. Refer to your host router’s user guide to enable Smart Connect.

5. Relocate your extender for optimal Wi-Fi coverage and performance.

1) Plug in the extender about halfway between your router and the Wi-Fi dead zone. The location you choose must be within the range of your router.

2) Wait for about 2 minutes until the Signal LED turns solid white. If it doesn’t, relocate the extender closer to the router to achieve better signal quality.

Tip: To minimize signal interference, please choose a location which is far away from Bluetooth devices and other household electronic devices, such as cordless phones, microwave ovens and baby monitors.

Test whether OneMesh network is built successfully or not:

Follow the above instructions to join the OneMesh network. After that, you can view all the devices in OneMesh network in Basic > OneMesh on the web management page of your host router.
