Adding a TP-link Archer VR400 as a AP port or wifi extender

KevLeybourne — Sat, 08 Nov 2025 15:36:53 GMT

Hi, I have recently joined EE & have the wifi 6 hub, however no matter where we locate it in our house we have poor range. I have a TP-link Archer VR400, can I hard-wire it to the hub and use it as a range extender?

If so, how?

TIA

Kev

Hi @KevLeybourne

Yes connect it to the ethernet port on your EE router.

Thanks

Thanks, is there anything that I need to do in the settings of the TP-link?

Hi @KevLeybourne.
Thanks for coming to the community.

I’ve found a useful guide which walks you through setting up your device as an access point on the TP-Link Help page .

Let us know how you get on.
