Since the ECW line is not really an option, I decided to take the EnGenius EAP1250 from the shelf and put it to good use. That being said, let’s explore some of the available options and see how you can set up an EnGenius AP as a wireless repeater. Which is the same thing, right? In a sense, yes, but things are a bit more complicated since the dual-band setup can help alleviate the backhaul issue quite a bit. But, at the same time, they do support the possibility to create a mesh network. That’s because there are more stream of traffic: from the client to the wireless repeater and vice versa, as well as from the repeater to the router and back.įurthermore, be aware that EnGenius has been focused a lot more on its Cloud platform, so its modern wireless APs aren’t really designed to be manually set as WiFi extenders. Sure, it’s easy to set up since you only need to know the SSID and passkey of the network that’s going to be repeated, but the bandwidth is usually halved (in best case scenario). And it’s doable with some models, but be aware that this is the least desirable way to cover your home with WiFi due to the severe bandwidth limitations that are a natural consequence of wireless repeaters. Unable to Connect to WiFi Extender or Saying Incorrect PasswordIf you have a spare EnGenius access point around and need to extend your WiFi network without relying on cables, then you may be wondering how can you set up an EnGenius AP as a wireless repeater. What should I do if Internet speed becomes slow via Range Extender? Has connected to TP-Link extender but no internet, what can I do? TP-Link Range Extender Setup (Range Extender Mode) This requires one of the range extender supports AP mode. Other network topologies: or you could wire one of the Range Extenders to the front end(router or RE1) and use it in AP mode for best performance. If you have more than one range extender, please make sure that the range extenders are both connecting to the host router's Wi-Fi network directly.It is not very recommended wirelessly connecting one range extender to another, as the performance of the second extender could be unsatisfactory. Q3.6 Can I use more than 1 range extender in the house? Can I connect a wifi extender to another wifi extender?
