Hello, Your TV is located far from the router, so you need a way to get internet access. The TV only supports Ethernet connections, not WiFi, and because the router is out of range, that won’t work. Can you find a device that can pick up the router’s signal via WiFi or powerline, then send it through an Ethernet cable? This would let you place a device near the TV and connect it to the router via Ethernet.

You’re connecting the powerline cable to your device and expecting WiFi to appear. Your ISP router also broadcasts WiFi, so compatibility depends on configuration—maybe you need to adjust names or settings for both devices. Regarding Ethernet, yes, there is a connection between Ethernet cables as well; just ensure the ports match and the devices are properly set up.

This gadget offers various functions, but in your situation it serves as a bridge to forward Wi-Fi to Ethernet for use with devices that only support Ethernet. You'll need to configure the SSID and password. It doesn't function as an access point in this configuration.

Thanks! I saw this product isn’t available for shipping to my area. Maybe there are other options? I’ll look into which models are sent to me. Amazon usually delivers most TP-Link items here, though this one is missing. By the way, is this the updated TL-WR902AC version? (It’s still not arriving here, haha)
