Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
2.1 Before You Begin
Please read this User Guide carefully before installing and using the equipment. The operating
distance range of your wireless connection can vary significantly depending on the physical
position of the wireless devices. Factors that can weaken signals by getting in the way of your
network’s radio waves are metal appliances or obstructions, and walls. Typical ranges vary based
on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or office.

Note:
TP-LINK recommends that you connect to the Range Extender when your home network
connection is poor, or when you want a larger wireless coverage to eliminate “dead zones”. As in
compliance with the wireless transmission protocol, all the Range Extender devices are set to
work in half-duplex instead of full-duplex mode. In other words, the Range Extender has to
process one-way communication between your root Wireless Router or AP and the terminal
clients; so the transmission time will be double-increased, while the speed will be decreased.
