We installed the base system at the ISPs router as well as linked to one of its Ethernet ports. one of the remote units went into the kitchen area while the other one was plugged in upstairs. We then logged into the sky router as well as disabled its built-in WiFi. We were up as well as running in around 30 minutes.
Each WAP has 2 Ethernet ports on board so you can utilize a cord from them to plug into a PC or wise TV etc if they don’t have WiFi capabilities.

So if your ISP supplied one-box router as well as wireless gain access to point ain’t cutting the mustard, provide the TP-Link’s Deco P9 a try, we believe you’ll like it.
