5 Relocate your Wi-Fi Extender+ to an outlet around the midpoint between your Wi-Fi router and the
Wi-Fi “dead” zone. Alternatively, use the Status LED on the extender or the Location Assistant feature on the Kasa app to find the optimal placement for your Wi-Fi Extender+.
! It is important that you wait until the Wi-Fi Extender+ is fully powered up, and all LED
Indicators stop blinking.
Keep in mind that other types of radio frequencies can interfere with the Wi-Fi signal between your router and Wi-Fi Extender+. Avoid placing the extender near Bluetooth® devices, cordless phones, microwave ovens, baby monitors, and motor-driven appliances.
6 Connect your Wi-Fi devices to the new extended network using the same password as the main network.
Unless you customized the extended network names during the configuration, the extended network names are your main network names (SSIDs) with _EXT or _2GEXT or _5GEXT as a suffix, depending on whether the extender is connecting to the single-band or dual-band router. For example:
Main Router
2.4GHz Single-Band
Main Router’s SSIDs
MyHome
Extended SSIDs
2.4GHz: MyHome_EXT
5GHz: MyHome_5GEXT www.tp-link.com

Using Kasa with Wi-Fi Extender+
Once the Wi-Fi Extender+ is conneted to your Wi-Fi network, you can use the Kasa app on your mobile devices or tablets to control, automate the Smart Plug and manage the extended network easily and seemlessly. Please make sure that your mobile device or tablet is connected to the extended network before any configuration.
If you want to control and manage the Wi-Fi Extender+ from outside of your home or office via an
Internet connection, please enable the Remote Control within the Kasa app settings.
Kasa Account
While you don’t have to have a Kasa account to use your devices, signing up for an account provides added functionality such as:
• Synchronization of settings and configurations to all your mobile devices.
• Ability to control and configure the devices from outside your home.
• Ability to customize your TP-Link Smart Home devices with “Scenes” for a truly automated experience.
• Use of third-party services and products such as Amazon Echo.
Devices can only be associated with one Kasa account. To remove the association, turn off Remote
Control in the Kasa’s settings, or factory reset the device.
After creating your Kasa account, you will need to verify the email associated with your account by clicking a link in an email that Kasa sends you. Until you verify the email, much of the above functionality will not work.
Kasa Settings
Kasa’s Settings allows you to set your global preferences such as:
• Location and Time to set the location and time of where the Smart Home devices are located so that the Away Mode and Schedules can run on time. You can set your device’s location using your smartphone’s GPS function, or manually enter the latitude and longitude coordinates.
• Firmware Update to update your Smart Home devices when there is an update available. Refer to
Firmware Update for instructions.

Location Assistant
After setup, the Status LED on the left side of the Wi-Fi Extender+ and the Kasa app will detect whether the device’s signal strength is too strong or too weak. You can use either the Status LED or Location
Assistant to help you reposition the extender to an optimal location (if needed).
Please note that any time you relocate the Wi-Fi Extender+, make sure that you wait until the device is fully powered up and all LED Indicators stop blinking after plugging the extender into a wall outlet. If the
Status LED is green, your Wi-Fi Extender+ is placed in an optimal location.
The Location Assistant can also be accessed anytime from the Device Settings page.
