TL-WA830RE
300Mbps Wireless N Range Extender User Guide
4
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 base
on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or office.
In order to optimize the performance of TL-WA830RE, please follow the instructions below to
achieve an ideal location:
1) Half-way Between - Generally, the ideal location for TL-WA830RE is half-way between the
Wireless Router and Wireless Client. If the wireless signal is not satisfactory, you may place
TL-WA830RE somewhat nearer to the Wireless Router.
2) Higher Position - Place TL-WA830RE on a higher position, like on a desk.
3) No Obstacles and Spacious - Clear obstacles in the way between TL-WA830RE and
Wireless Router. It’s better to locate it in a spacious place, such as near the corridors.
4) No Interference - Keep TL-WA830RE far away from wireless interference, which may come
from electrical appliances that works in the same frequency band as TL-WA830RE, such as
Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, microwave ovens, etc.
5) At a Certain Angle - For a better repeating performance, it’s recommended to adjust the
antennas of TL-WA830RE to a certain angle, preferably 60°.
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 half- decreased.
