Can I set up password to wifi extender?

[oskar23]

Hey.

I got tp link AC1750 and im wondering if i can set password to it. The problem is that some devices are unable to connect to router when this device is working. I use it floor down just to get internet to my computer using a cable connected from this device to my pc. But its so frustrating that while its on some devices cant connect to wifi at all. Thats why maybe creating password could help but I dont really see that option in tplink's settings. Any idea how to solve this issue with devices not being able to connect while tplink is working?

If you’re connecting to it through ethernet it’ not an extender anymore.  It’s not receiving WiFi signals and passing then to another WiFi connection it’s (I assume) receiving internet WiFi from your router and passing it to your computer over ethernet.  You seem to want it to act as an extender for other devices AND an adaptor.

He's using it as wireless client.

 

The extended WiFi can be disabled in the settings.
