Review on 📶 TP Link EAP225 DAccès 1350Mbps Gigabit: High-Speed and Reliable Wireless Connectivity by John Iverson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great so far!

I've been thinking of buying a mesh WiFi system for a few hundred dollars. My house is connected to ethernet but not everything is connected and my router has a lot of dead zones throughout the house. If you have ethernet in your home or can connect it to another area where WiFi is weak, this is the solution you need without spending hundreds of dollars on a mesh router. My router is relatively new, it supports N networks but no AC. It wasn't old enough to really need replacing. There is no need to download any software from TP-Link unless you want to have more than one and control ALL at the same time with the same settings. Just login to your router (google the make and model to find out how) and look for the DHCP client table. Assuming you ONLY have TP-Link connected to your network, it MUST be the one with the highest number to the right of the IP address. It can even be identified by its name in the list. Make a note of the IP address. Also look in your router settings for the IP address range from which DHCP assigns IP addresses. You probably want to assign a static IP address to TP-Link so you don't have to calculate the IP address next time. Just choose any number between 0 and 255 for the last number outside of this range that isn't already assigned to something else, e.g. B. a router or printer. Leave the first 3 digits alone. Open a browser and type the TP-Link IP address you found from the DHCP table in the range you would normally type in a web address. The default user ID and password is admin. You must change them as soon as you sign up. First go to where the time and date settings are located. Set your time zone and instruct it to sync and save with computer time. Set the DST information if you want it to be changed and saved automatically. Go to the IP address settings section, set it to static and enter any static IP address you have selected if you want. You do not need. Enter your router's IP address as the gateway and save. Go to the section where you set the SSID. For both 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios, set the SSID, encryption type, and encryption key or password to match your router. Save on computer. Repeat for another frequency and save again. Restart your access point and router. Did. Enjoy a much better WiFi signal.
