Step 2: Download the Tether App
Download the free TP-Link Tether app from your device's app store (available on Google Play and Apple App Store). If you do not have a TP-Link account, you can create one within the app.
Hatua ya 3: Ongeza Kifaa
Open the Tether app. Tap "Add Device" and select "Add a Range Extender". Follow the on-screen prompts.
The app will guide you to connect your phone to the extender's temporary Wi-Fi network (e.g., "TP-Link_Extender").
Step 4: Select Network to Extend
Choose the 5 GHz and/or 2.4 GHz wireless network(s) from your main router that you wish to extend. Enter the Wi-Fi password for your main network.
Step 5: Apply Settings
The app will apply your settings. This process may take a minute or two.
Step 6: Confirm Location (Relocation)
Once setup is complete, you can relocate the extender to an optimal position. Plug the extender into an outlet about halfway between your router and the Wi-Fi dead zone. The location must be within the range of your router. Wait about 2 minutes until the Signal LED matches the picture in the app for a strong signal. If the signal is weak, move the extender closer to the router.

6. Ushirikiano wa EasyMesh
The RE223BE supports EasyMesh, allowing it to seamlessly integrate with any EasyMesh-compatible router to create a unified mesh Wi-Fi network. This eliminates the need for separate Wi-Fi network names and ensures your devices automatically connect to the strongest signal as you move around your home.
Enabling EasyMesh
To enable EasyMesh, navigate to the "More" section in the Tether app and select "EasyMesh". Toggle the EasyMesh option to "On" and follow the prompts to "Join Mesh Network". You may need to press the WPS button on both the extender and your main router within two minutes.
Note: EasyMesh functionality requires your main router to be EasyMesh-compatible. If your router does not support EasyMesh, this feature may not work or may require a firmware update for your router.
7. Performance Overview
The TP-Link BE3200 Wi-Fi 7 Range Extender is designed to deliver robust performance. When connected, users can expect significant improvements in Wi-Fi coverage and signal strength. Actual speeds will depend on your internet service provider, network conditions, and client device capabilities.

EasyMesh Connection Issues
- Verify that your main router supports EasyMesh and has EasyMesh enabled.
- Ensure you press the WPS button on both the extender and the main router within the specified timeframe (usually 2 minutes).
- Plug the extender closer to the main router (preferably within 10 feet/3 meters) during the EasyMesh setup process.
- Check for firmware updates for both your router and the extender, as EasyMesh compatibility may be added or improved with updates.
10. Taarifa Muhimu
Kanusho la Kisheria
The maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Higher capacity is based on laboratory test data, which analyzed the connections of different devices on the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands simultaneously. These devices simulated a typical home scenario by running simultaneous applications in the same room that included 4K video, 1080p video, 720p video, file kupakua, web browsing, IP cameras, and other IoT devices. Actual wireless data throughput, wireless coverage, and connected devices are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of internet service provider factors, network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors, including building materials, obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and client location. The product may not be compatible with routers or gateways with firmware that has been altered, is based on open source programs, or is non-standard or outdated. Uninterrupted Streaming is designed for devices that support the 802.11k/v standard. Use of Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), and features including Multi-Link Operation (MLO), 320 MHz Bandwidth, 4K-QAM, Multi-RU, OFDMA, and MU-MIMO requires clients to also support the corresponding features. The 320 MHz bandwidth is only available on the 6 GHz band. Simultaneously, the 320 MHz bandwidth on the 6 GHz band and 160 MHz bandwidth on the 5 GHz band may be unavailable in some regions/countries due to regulatory restrictions. Double channel width and speed refer to 320 MHz compared to 160 MHz for Wi-Fi 6 range extenders. TP-Link EasyMesh-compatible products can network with other devices that use EasyMesh. Failed connections may be due to firmware conflicts of different vendors. The EasyMesh-compatible function is still being developed on some models and will be supported in subsequent software updates. This product is compatible with standardized EasyMesh technology but has not obtained the Wi-Fi EasyMeshTM certification. Saving clients' battery power requires clients to also support the 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard. Actual power reduction may vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors. Wi-Fi generations represent the wireless standard IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be. All devices need to support 802.11 Wi-Fi protocols. Actual network speed may be limited by the rate of the product's Ethernet WAN or LAN port, the rate supported by the network cable, Internet service provider factors and other environmental conditions.
