Reliance Jio Fiber Routers and ONTs

[ap99]

You can connect other routers to JIo ONT as range extenders.

What settings do I need to configure on the TP-Link router? (which I want to use as a range extender)
And also is there anything which I need to configure on my Jio ONT?

Nothing. Just set up your TP-Link router in extender mode, if thats possible and then set up accordingly. Its different for every router so I cannot tell you the exact setup.

There isn't any dedicated option like extender mode in the router, that's the problem.
If there was an option, it would have been easier.

The extender function is called WDS in TP-Link routers. And you can find them under 2.4 & 5GHz wifi settings. It is not exactly a extender but it can bridge different APs.

Yes that option is there but I could not figure out how to configure it.

@socrates The problem is not the speed, the issue is that it is inconsistent sometimes it drops to 1~2 Mbps. If it remains consistent at 50 Mbps or even 40 Mbps I am happy with that.

Can be other 2.4 ghz signals which are interfering. Check with a phone app to see signals at different channels in your area and set it to one that's less congested.

There's one Xiaomi one available on AliExpress and a few others too, which are around $35-$50 range

Extenders will essentially half your speed and increase ping. I bought one a couple of years back for my Airtel connection (Netgear). Used it for a few hours, hated the speed dip and high pings, and it's just lying unused.
If you can, extend connection between the new router and Jio via a LAN cable. And use the router near where you want to use it.

50Mbps is normal on 2.4ghz, it was 60-65 but it seems to hav been reduced by Jio. (Don't know why)

I hit about 70 mbps on 2.4 ghz.

I have the above options in my tp-link router. What do I enter in WDS encryption type, WDS key and Mac Address?
