Ideal Location
• No Obstacles and Spacious - Clear obstacles in the way between your Touch
P5 and the host router. It’s better to locate it in a spacious place, such as in a
corridor.
• No Interference - Choose a location away from Bluetooth devices and other
household electronics, such as a cordless phone, microwave, and baby monitor,
etc., to minimize signal interference.
8. Connect your wireless clients to the network of your Touch P5.
Note: The extended networks of Touch P5 share the same passwords as those of the host networks, but may
have different wireless network names if you have customized them during the configuration. Please connect your
wireless devices to one extended network of your Touch P5.
3. 2. Entertainment Adapter
Your Touch P5 can be used as a wireless network adapter to connect any Ethernet-
only device (such as a Blu-ray player, game console, DVR, or smart TV) to the wireless
network. After your Touch P5 is connected to the host router, you can connect an
Ethernet-enabled device to your Touch P5’s Ethernet port via an Ethernet cable. Then
the devices can connect to the wireless network of the host router.

If both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless bands of your Touch P5 are connected to the host
router, the 5GHz band is used for transmitting data between the host network and the
wired connected devices by default. If you want to change the default setting, please
follow the steps below:
1. Launch a web browser on your computer, visit http://tplinkwifi.net and log in with
the default username and password (admin/admin).
2. Go to Settings > Network, and focus on the Ethernet Port section.
