it is a box designed to listen on one WiFi channel and repeat it on another. What you need (for a weak signal) is a repeater. also you only extend your range by the distance from one to the other.
While two WiFi connections can work, if youdo it that way you will need to disconnect from one and reconnect to other everytime you move from one extreme to the other. (I might have needed to add a Port with the printer's IP address if that didn't work).SOURCE: How to connect two wifi routers using modem.In home on one network? (and in my case) I selected a port with the IP address of the printer or it was the name of the printer(?). Open Devices and Printers from the Control Panel I could ping the printer from both computers but could only print from one of them. Later the printer appeared to be offline to one of my computers, but not another. Brother's support tried to do it and they couldn't either. I then tried unsuccessfully to change the printer's Node name via the printer's web interface. In fact the Deco system dynamically assigned the printer an IP address (there was no need to statically assign one)
TP-Link's support was great and they remotely accessed my computer and discovered that the printer was there (I told them if there had been a way to list the mac addresses of all the Devices in the List that I would have seen that the printer was there - clicking on each Device in the List to determine the mac address is a pain). Somehow the printer's wireless Node Name was changed to "DECO_. However (I thought) that the printer was not showing up in the Deco App's Device List. Multiple issues! First, I updated the Brother software and things started to work - with a static IP address.
