Vigtige bemærkninger
- Maximum wireless signal rates are physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and coverage are not guaranteed and may vary due to network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors (e.g., building materials, obstacles, traffic volume, client location).
- Utilization of Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) features, including OFDMA and MU-MIMO, requires client devices to also support these corresponding features.
- The product may not be compatible with routers or gateways that have altered firmware, are based on open-source programs, or are non-standard or outdated.
- Smart Roaming is designed for devices that support the 802.11k/v standard.
- TP-Link EasyMesh-compatible products can network with other EasyMesh devices. Failed connections may occur due to firmware conflicts between different vendors. The EasyMesh-compatible function is under continuous development and will be supported in subsequent software updates for some models. This product is compatible with standardized EasyMesh technology but has not obtained Wi-Fi EasyMesh™ certification.
- Wireless extenders are designed to increase or improve Wi-Fi coverage, not to directly increase internet speed. Improved signal reliability can, however, affect overall throughput.
- Actual network speed may be limited by the rate of the product's Ethernet WAN or LAN port, the network cable's rate, Internet service provider factors, and other environmental conditions.
Opsætningsvejledning
1. Indledende placering
For optimal initial setup, plug the RE515X into a power outlet located near your main Wi-Fi router. This ensures a strong connection during the configuration process.

2. Using the TP-Link Tether App for Setup
- Download appen: Download the TP-Link Tether app from the Apple App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices).
- Start og log ind: Open the Tether app and log in with your TP-Link ID. If you do not have one, create an account.
- Tilføj enhed: Tap the '+' icon in the app to add a new device. Select 'Range Extender' and follow the on-screen prompts.
- Opret forbindelse til extenderens Wi-Fi: The app will instruct you to connect your mobile device to the extender's temporary Wi-Fi network (e.g., 'TP-Link_Extender').
- Konfigurer netværk: Select your main Wi-Fi network from the list provided in the app and enter its password. The extender will then connect to your main router.
- Opret enhedsadgangskode: You will be prompted to create a new password for accessing and managing the extender through the Tether app. This is separate from your Wi-Fi password.

3. Relocating the Extender
After successful initial setup, unplug the RE515X and move it to a location that is roughly halfway between your main router and the area where you need improved Wi-Fi coverage. Ensure this new location is still within the range of your main router to maintain a strong connection. Use the signal indicator lights on the extender or the Tether app to verify optimal placement (typically, solid blue lights indicate a good connection).

Operating Your Range Extender
Range Extender Mode
In Range Extender Mode, the RE515X wirelessly connects to your existing router and rebroadcasts its signal. This mode is ideal for extending Wi-Fi to areas of your home that suffer from weak signals or dead zones. Devices connected to the extended network will automatically switch between your main router and the extender for the strongest possible signal, thanks to Smart Adaptive Roaming.
Access Point (AP) tilstand
The RE515X can also function as an Access Point. To use this mode, connect an Ethernet cable from your main router to the Gigabit Ethernet port on the extender. The extender will then create a new dual-band Wi-Fi network, converting your wired internet connection into a wireless hotspot. This is useful for adding Wi-Fi capability to a wired-only network or for creating a separate Wi-Fi network in a specific area.

EasyMesh-kompatibilitet
The RE515X is EasyMesh-compatible, allowing it to integrate seamlessly with other EasyMesh-compatible routers or extenders to create a unified mesh Wi-Fi network. This provides a single Wi-Fi name and password across your entire home, simplifying network management and ensuring consistent connectivity.

Opretholdelse
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your TP-Link RE515X, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Firmwareopdateringer: Regularly check for and install the latest firmware updates via the TP-Link Tether app. Firmware updates often include performance improvements, security enhancements, and bug fixes.
- Placering: Sørg for, at forlængeren er placeret et godt ventileret område, væk fra direkte sollys eller varmekilder, for at forhindre overophedning.
- Rensning: Periodically clean the exterior of the device with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust buildup, which can affect ventilation.
- Genstart: If you experience persistent issues, try restarting the extender by unplugging it from the power outlet for 10 seconds and then plugging it back in.
Fejlfinding
If you encounter issues with your TP-Link RE515X, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
Weak or No Signal After Setup
- Flytning: The most common cause of poor performance is improper placement. Ensure the extender is positioned roughly halfway between your main router and the area needing coverage. Avoid placing it too far from the main router or in areas with significant physical obstructions (e.g., thick concrete walls, large metal appliances).
- Signalindikator: Use the LED signal indicator on the extender or the TP-Link Tether app to find the best placement. Solid blue lights typically indicate a strong connection to the main router.
- Interferens: Electronic devices such as microwaves, cordless phones, or Bluetooth devices can interfere with Wi-Fi signals. Try moving the extender away from such devices.
Connection Drops or Instability
- Firmware-tjek: Ensure both your main router and the RE515X extender have the latest firmware installed. Outdated firmware can lead to compatibility issues and instability.
- Client Device Support: For optimal performance, especially with Wi-Fi 6 features, ensure your connected client devices also support the relevant Wi-Fi 6 standards.
- Netværksbelastning: While the extender supports many devices, an extremely high number of simultaneous high-bandwidth activities (e.g., 4K streaming on multiple devices) might strain the network. Consider reducing simultaneous usage or upgrading your main router if this is a persistent issue.
Ethernet Port Issues
- Kabelforbindelse: Verify that the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the extender's Gigabit Ethernet port and the wired device.
- Enhedens funktionalitet: Confirm that the wired device's Ethernet port is functional by testing it with a direct connection to your main router if possible.
- AP-tilstandskonfiguration: If using the extender in Access Point mode, ensure it has been correctly configured as an AP via the Tether app.
