Here we will guide you to log into the Management Webpage of your Range Extender step by step.

Step 1. Please use an Ethernet cable to connect your Range Extender to your PC first.

Note: It is strongly suggested that wired connection should be your first choice. But if you really don’t have any PC, or your RE product like TL-WA854RE doesn’t have any Ethernet port, in this situation, you can only choose wireless connection.

Step 2. Now open a web-browser (IE or any other browser) and type in “192.168.0.254” or the domain name “tplinkrepeater.net” in the address field of the browser.

Step 3. After a moment, a login window will appear as shown below. Enter admin for the User Name and Password (both in lower case letters). Then click OK or press Enter.

Step 4. After successful login, there will pop up the Quick Setup Start page. Click Next to get the quick setup started.

If you failed to log in to the GUI, you can check if your PC has correctly acquired IP address from Range Extender via following steps. Here we take Windows 7 as demonstration. For other operating system, please refer to How to configure wired TCP/IP Properties of my computer(Windows XP,Vista,7,8,10,Mac)

Click “start” and go to “control panel”.

  1. Click ”Network and Internet” and then go to “Network and Sharing Center
  2. Click “Local Area Connection” and select “details”. Now you can see the network connection details as is shown below.
  3. Your PC’s IPv4 address should be “192.168.0.X” and the default gateway should be “192.168.0.254”.

Note: If your PC doesn’t get correct IP address as described above, please continue.

Firstly, make sure your PC can obtain IP address automatically. The next steps will help you check whether your PC supports this capability.

  1. Click “start” and go to “control panel”.
  2. Click ”Network and Internet” and then go to “Network and Sharing Center
  3. Click “Local Area Connection” and select “Properties”->”Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4)”.
  4. Tick “obtain IP address automatically” and “obtain DNS server address automatically”. Just like the figure shows below.

Secondly,if there is no problem with the settings above and your PC still obtains a wrong IP address, please disable and then enable your network adapter to get a new IP address. You can follow the steps below to do it.

  2. Click ”Network and Internet” and then go to “Network and Sharing Center”->”Change adapter settings
  3. Please right click on “Local Area Connection” and select “disable”. Do it again and select “enable”.
  4. Now just wait for a moment and then check PC’s IP address as described in the above steps.

Once your pc obtains correct IP Addresses please try IP address or domain name again.
