    Hello.
    I bought a HUAWEI B525 LTE modem from T-Mobile. Everything went well until I set up and connected to the TP LINK TL-WA830RE extender network to increase range - 2 pieces. The next day I noticed that computers often lose range or cannot connect.
    questions:
    - can these extenders be configured somehow or should they be replaced?
    - I still have a router ASUS DSL-N55U - is it possible to set it as an extender
    - future question - what WIFI signal booster can you recommend.
    Have a nice day.

    No, the network will "work" like on WA-830, which is poor. This behavior of repeaters is the norm. This is an unreliable, unstable mode that cuts the speed by half. In order to improve WiFi coverage, an additional AP connected via LAN with B525 cable or PLC transmitters via the electric network is used. The general rule is stationary devices connected by cable and mobile devices by WiFi. WA-830 can be used as an AP. Also N55 can be configured in this mode.

    PLC transmitters are devices that use an electrical installation to transmit a LAN signal? Which transmitters would you recommend in my case?

    Are there any restrictions on such devices over the electricity network?

    Yes, the speed depends on whether the devices are connected to the same phase, or if there are meters along the way, how long the electrical network between them is and what kind of it is.

    Is it possible for these devices to work properly on circuits from other meters?

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around connectivity issues experienced with the HUAWEI B525 LTE modem when connected to two TP-LINK TL-WA830RE extenders. Users report frequent disconnections and poor performance, suggesting that the extenders may not be effectively configured. Recommendations include using the extenders in Access Point (AP) mode or replacing them with Powerline Communication (PLC) devices for better stability. The D-LINK DHP-W311AV is suggested as an affordable PLC option. Concerns about the performance of PLC devices over different electrical circuits are addressed, noting that speed can be affected by the electrical setup and phase alignment.
