Connect and Extend: Setek WiFi Extender with TP-Link AXE7800 Wi-Fi 6E

TP-Link AXE7800 router is based on the WiFi 6E technology. You can connect it through the Ethernet cable with the modem and then just configure it on PC and it’s ready to provide services.

If you want more coverage, it supports WPS setup, so that you can easily connect more devices like extenders. One of the great choices is Setek WiFi extender setup, because its cheap and work like a branded one. Let’s connect and extend the internet coverage by setting up Setek WiFi extender with TP-Link AXE7800 Wi-Fi 6E router.

Setek WiFi Extender with TP-Link AXE7800

Prep the gear

• Plug in your Setek extender close to the TP-Link router. Don’t get fancy yet. You want it in the same room for the initial setup.
• Make sure your TP-Link is powered on and fully booted. If it’s rebooting or updating firmware, nothing will connect.

Reset the extender (if needed)

• Press the tiny reset button on the Setek for 5-10 seconds. LED should blink.
• Why? Trust me. Extenders like this hold onto old settings like a hoarder. Start fresh.

Connect to the extender

• On your laptop or phone, look for the Setek’s default SSID (usually something like Setek_Extender_XXXX).
• Connect. Password? Usually on the back of the device.

Open the web config

• Launch a browser and go to the default IP (192.168.10.1).
• Go for the Setek WiFi extender Login. Defaults are almost always admin/admin. Yeah, I know, change it later.

Scan for your TP-Link network

• There’s a “WiFi Scan” or “Select Network to Extend” option. Click it.
• Pick your TP-Link AXE7800 SSID (should be the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, or 6GHz network).

Match security settings

• Enter the password for your TP-Link Wi-Fi exactly. Case-sensitive. Spaces matter.
• Double-check — if it fails here, nothing works.

Set extender SSID

You can clone your TP-Link SSID (so devices switch automatically) or make a new name (so you know it’s the extender).

Place the extender

• Unplug, move it halfway between router and dead zone.
• Don’t go too far. If the TP-Link signal is weak, the extender will just broadcast weak Wi-Fi.

Test and tweak

• Connect your phone/laptop to the extended network.
• Run a speed test. Check signal bars.
• If it’s still weak, move the extender 1-2 feet closer to the router or remove obstacles.

Optional fine-tune on TP-Link

• Log into the TP-Link AXE7800 admin page.
• Check for “Wi-Fi 6E settings” and make sure the 6GHz band is enabled if your devices support it.
• Some extenders only do 2.4/5GHz – don’t sweat 6GHz if it’s not supported, the extender still improves coverage.

Troubleshooting tips: Setek WiFi Extender with TP-Link AXE7800

• Placement is everything: Don’t just slap the extender anywhere. Half the time people freak out about “it’s not connecting” when it’s actually just too far from the router. Keep it about 20-30 feet away, line-of-sight-ish. Avoid walls if you can – especially concrete or brick. Those things murder WiFi signals faster than you think.
• Reset and forget: Before you even try to pair these two, reset the Setek. Hold the button for like 10-15 seconds. Seriously. Then, on your AXE7800, “forget” the network and reconnect fresh. Old configs can screw everything up.
• Use the right band: Setek extenders can be picky. Some refuse to play on 6GHz. AXE7800 can do 2.4, 5, and 6GHz. Check the manual and pick the band the extender actually supports. 5GHz usually gives the best mix of speed and range for extenders.
• Static IP can save your life: Sometimes the extender just doesn’t get a proper IP from the router. Log into the TP-Link admin panel, assign a static IP for the Setek device. Doesn’t have to be fancy, just pick a free one. Trust me – this stops random drops.
• Firmware check: Check both devices. TP-Link updates come like once a month, Setek less often, but even a tiny patch can fix connectivity weirdness.
