Unable to connect Tp-Link V600 Wifi extender to Hub 3 Virgin Media router

[robertobonsigno]

Hi everyone,

A few days ago, I bought a TP-Link Wifi extender V600 model and, after following all the instructions, I am not able to connect to the Tp-Link Wifi connection because it says "Connected, Not Internet". I checked if the password was corrected and I realized I am using the correct password present in one of the two extenders I received. I tried two times both by plugging the internet cable or by using the WPS button for the Wifi. 

The issue is that I tried to access the extender by using the Tp-Link password but, because it doesn't let me to connect, I can't access the web management page. Should I follow some procedure for the Hub 3 to allow the extender to correctly copy the internet connection of the router?

Any help is immensely appreciated. Cheers!

What's the exact model number of the ones you purchased?

I assume they're powerline plugs?

Powerlines aren't great - also most of them will have 100mb ports so will slow things down.

It is the TL-WPA4220 Kit Model that I bought from Amazon. The problem is that in one room I have a weak signal and, therefore, I need something like a booster or powerline extender. What is the most efficient way to strength my Wifi signal or, much better, having the internet cable in my room? Also, if I buy a 10m coaxial cable for the Hub 3, will Wifi signal decrease?

Don't change or touch the Coax cable.

The "best" thing to do is run a length of Ethernet cable to where it's needed and attach a wireless access point.

Other than that, a mesh system is the next best thing
