Using a tplink router as wireless bridge to extend range

It's usually straight forward nowadays :
  • Reset the new router
  • Connect to it via WIFI using the default SSID and password given on the back, or WPA
  • Login to the new router, at its default I.P, e.g. 192.1681.0.1 or http://tplinkwifi.net/
  • You need to create a password at the first login
  • Choose the range extender option
  • Select your main network from the list
  • Choose static I.P and use an I.P in the same subnet as the main router. E.g. if the main router is at 192.168.1.1, you can choose any 192.168.1.*
  • Disable DHCP server
  • If WPA_PSK does not work, try WPA2_PSK. This was the issue for me.
  • Restart and check that the internet light is green
