TP Link AC1200 Setup
Do you know what I did? I thought the extender is just a plug and play device, but I was wrong. It needs a proper configuration then only you can play with it.

Here are the instructions to configure your TP Link WiFi extender: fix my speaker
Step 1: When I plugged in my extender, I haven’t waited for the LEDs on it to get stable. I was so excited. Due to this, I was getting TP Link AC1200 setup issues again and again. After a lot of understanding, I decided to wait for them to get stable.
It took time, but I finally reached step 2. So, if you don’t want to wait or don’t want the same to happen with you, please wait for the LEDs on your range extender. Let them become stable.
Step 2: In the beginning, I didn’t know that there is a need to connect my range extender with my existing router. Did you know? Please let us know via comments.
But, talking about me, I haven’t connected my extender and router. I searched for the same on Google, but nothing worked. After exploring hundreds of websites, I got one. Over there, it was written the same, i.e. connect your extender and router using an Ethernet cable. As a result, I took one more successful step toward the TP Link extender setup process.
Step 3: After connecting my devices, don’t you want to know what I did? If you want to know, then only you will be able to complete the process, right?
I turned on a desktop! Which one do you have? Please share!
Step 4: After turning on the device, launch a web browser.
Bonus tip: Please do not use an outdated web browser. Further in this article, you will get to know the reason behind the same.
Step 5: Have you updated the browser? If not, update it right away.
Step 6: Enter http://tplinkrepeater.net in the address bar.
Note: There are chances that the web address will not work for you. I too have faced the same issue! Yes, you read it right! So, don’t you want to know what I did? Scroll down a little.
There were typos in the web address. So, I copied http://tplinkrepeater.net and pasted it in the browser’s URL bar. Doing so has prevented typing errors (typos) as well.
No use of the search bar because it has once redirected me to some other web page.
I updated the browser because http://tplinkrepeater.net was not working on an outdated one. Now, you have come to know the reason behind using an updated browser.
Step 7: After keeping applying the tips I shared with you above, I finally got redirected to the TP Link extender login page.
Step 8: Here, I have provided the default login details of my TP Link AC1200 range extender. Wanted to know why I have used the default TP Link extender login username and password? Because my extender is new and only after configuration, I will be able to change them.
Step 9: Thus, as per the model number of my range extender i.e. AC1200, the complete setup instructions were displayed. I followed them in exact order and here I am sharing my personal experience with you.
Following the on-screen instructions was really a piece of cake.
