The Quick Setup is preparing to set up your connection type of WAN port.

The Router will try to detect the internet connection type your ISP provides if you select the Auto-Detect option.

Otherwise, you will need to specify the connection type manually.

Auto-Detect- Let the Router automatically detect the connection type your ISP provides.

PPPoE - Usually for ADSL Modem and you will need a PPPoE username and password from your ISP.

Dynamic IP - Usually for Cable Modem and the router will automatically obtain an IP address from the DHCP server.

Static IP - This type of connection uses a permenant, fixed (static) IP address that your ISP assigned.

Appendix 2: Repeater Mode

Optimization Guide

When choosing an ideal location to optimize the performance of repeater mode, please keep the points below in mind.

The Best Way is Half-Way

Generally, the ideal location for your TL-WR710N is half-way between your wireless router and your Wi-Fi enabled devices. If that is not possible, placing the TL-WR710N closer to your wireless router will ensure stable performance.

Less Obstacles = Better Performance

Try to choose a location that will minimize the number of obstacles between the TL-WR710N and your wireless router. Open corridors or other spacious locations will typically provide better conditions for performance than a crowded room.

Less Interference = More Stability.

Try to choose a location that minimizes interference from devices operating on the same wireless frequency, such as cordless phones bluetooth devices, and microwave ovens.
