I setup the tplink wifi range extender yesterday and it only works when it is next to the modem.

Reset the extender by pressing reset pinhole for at least 30 seconds.
>Connect any one of your devices with tplink extender wireless network.
>Open any browser and in the address bar type 192.168.0.254 or http://tplinkrepeater.net
>Now you will see the setup wizard in the page, follow the instructions to setup the range extender.
If you want you can change the name of extended network and password of your choice that you want for it.
Now save the settings and range extender will reboot after saving the settings.
Once extender lights get solid connect your devices to the extended network and try to go online so that we can check that extender setup successfully.
