Want to change your WiFi extender’s password or update its settings, but have no clue how to log into it? Don’t worry, you just need its IP address. Here are three super easy ways to find it in less than a minute. In this video, we use TP Link AC750 Range Extender or RE540 as example.
Method 1: The Connected Devices List.
Login your main router. See, your extender gets its IP directly from your main router. Just open your router’s app or log into its web dashboard, look for the Connected Devices or Device List, and find your extender’s name. The IP address will be listed right next to it!
Method 2: The Desktop Command (For PC/Mac)
Method two is for the computer users. If you’re on Windows, open Command Prompt and type arp -a, then hit enter. On a Mac, open Terminal and type the same thing. This pulls up a list of all IP addresses on your network. Look for the physical MAC address that matches the sticker on the back of your extender.
Once you have that IP, just type it straight into your web browser’s URL bar, hit enter, and boom—you’re in the settings! If this helped you out, drop a like, hit follow, and I’ll see you in the next one!
