Using a TL-WR702N router as a wireless access point on a narrow-boat. How to print from my i Pad and iPhone to a printer on my narrow-boat, on the UK inland waterways. The Apple store geniuses seem to contradict each other on how it can be done, if at all. I have an i Pad and iPhone and would like to print photos, documents and the occasional web page to my Canon MG4250 printer, which has Air print capability, while I am cruising. I don't have a PC on the boat and of course there is no telephone or broadband connection (other than via 3G on my iPhone). In other words, I want to link my printer to a router, then when required, wireless connect to the router to print from my Apple devices.
Will the TP Link TL-WR702N 150Mbps Wireless N Nano Router allow me to do this? Reading the product information, this nano router looks very flexible, but all five modes mentioned seem to utilize an internet connection. I only have an internet connection via 3G on my iPhone, and can also tether the i Pad to the iPhone's WiFi hotspot to give internet connection on the i Pad. Would I have to use this internet connection somehow, or can I just connect the Apple devices to the printer via the WiFi on the nano router?
In effect I want to create a wireless access point for printing, without any, or at least a regular, internet connection.

I've just received my new TL-WR702N that I want to use as a repeater (downstairs) for my router (upstairs). I've tried the configurations listed on the TP-Link website, but none of them give me internet access. In fact, the local area connection shows the TL-WR702N as an "unidentified network".

Just got my new TP-Link device and intend to use it in client mode for my new audio receiver to connect to my home network.Trying to configure the device, and I cannot even access the online utility. I tried using the following address:
192.168.0.254 192.168.1.1
None of these seem to work. Tried on Chrome, then Internet Explorer and made sure that the web browser was not set to proxy (it was not set to this in the first place). The address just doesn't seem to connect, and I get a "This page cannot be displayed" note, as if I'm reaching a bad address.

I've setup my nano router in client mode and successfully connected it to my existing wireless network by manually setting it's IP address to 192.168.1.2. The existing router has the IP address 192.168.1.1.
I know this has worked as I'm able to access the web management page from any computer in the house by visiting the IP address 192.168.1.2. So far so good.
However, my problem is that the nano router cannot speak to the internet. If I login to the web management page and go to diagnostics, I can ping every other device on the network fine, but I can't ping anything outside the network (e.g. 8.8.8.8 or [URL].
I've tried in vain to get this setup correctly, all I can assume is that the nano router isn't correctly determining that the existing router (192.168.1.1) is where it should be routing all external requests and they're just getting lost, but there's no configuration for that on the web management pages.

Within a property without an available adsl line I'm simply trying to network a wireless laptop with a wireless printer. Both devices recognise the router, etc, but problem sending file for printing to the printer. (laptop does not detect printer). Is the lack of an internet connection the issue or simply a configuration issue?

Trying to use TL-WR702N in bridge mode at a hotel. For some reason, every time I set the DHCP parameters to enable DHCP, then save and reboot, upon reboot DHCP is disabled. Of course, without DHCP then bridge mode is useless because I cannot then share the hotel wifi connection with multiple devices.Am I missing something obvious, or is there a trick to getting DHCP to be accepted?

This is the 2nd WR702N I have purchased. The first worked as a repeater for a short time and then failed with the fading symptom. I returned it. The second did not work as a repeater even for a short time. The signal is OK for a few seconds and then fades out. I updated the firmware.

I am using TP-Link TL-WR740N as mentioned.Now I have a problem. In side my LAN I have four different PCs listening as Telnet Server at port 23. I want to create a telnet session over Internet with one of my PCs at a time.How should I do this? I mean what IP and Port number I should use to connect to my desired PC since all of my PCs are showing same public IP and that is of my router's IP.

I seted up router and i coud acces the utility window, then i switced from w7x32 to w7x64 and then i try to acces the utility window i can only see.Username or Password is incorrect.Is the "Caps Lock" enabled on your keyboard? The username and password must be lowercase, please ensure that the "Caps Lock" LED is disabled on your keyboard and try again.Forgot your username or password? Please reset the device to the factory default settings if you have forgotten your username or password. The default username and password are both set as "admin". The settings will be restored to factory default after the resetting.
How to restore the device to the factory default settings?Firstly locate the reset button on the rear panel of the unit, whilst the device is powered on press and hold the reset button for more than 5 seconds, the device will then reboot and restore itself to the factory default settings.no pop up window appears i tried looking this up and the closest thing i found was to un-check the proxy but its not checked so what should i do to be able to access utility window?

As you can see it's a simple network, I mostly use the network to share itunes library from PC CENTRAL to the other pcs, play games like counter strike and the like, and of course share the internet connection and copy files from one to another. I have to puntualize that all the computers are in the same room.Last week my mom bought a Toshiba Satellite and I bought a TP-LINK TL-WR741ND so she can work in her room (which is pretty far if I want to make a wire connection), so I installed the WiFi but now this is how my network looks like:> The case is that:
a) I can't access my toshiba from any other computer, but the toshiba can access any other using \192.168.1.# command.
b) The PC Central's iTunes library can be played in toshiba's itunes.
c) I can't make an HomeGroup between the two pcs running w7. Actually the only one pc I want to be working in LAN with the toshiba is PC Central, but as I said earlier, PC Central can't access toshiba.
The settings in the TL-WR740N are: WAN working as Dynamic IP (got IP 192.168.1.46 submask 255.255.255.0 and gateway empty), lan 192.168.0.1, (I can't make it to be 192.168.1.#, I think that's impossible cause it always gives me an error 5008). MAC filtering and that's the only thing I changed from default settings.

I have a BSNL BB connection. When I use the connection directly, without adding TP Link router, all the websites open flawlessly. Once when I connect the wireless router, certain websites for example Yahoomail, pepperfry.com, yepme.com don't open at all. These are just examples, but I'm unable to access many sites which is a bit annoying. But sites such as gmail, youtube, facebook open clean, there are no issues. I didn't make any configuration changes too. I tried it more than three or four times, but there is a restricted access only.
Currently have a sbs2003 with 2 nics want to install a wireless access point for the internal network. the wireless router is on the external wan how do i link the access point to this?
So, in an attempt to improve my signal in my house I relocated my router upstairs from downstairs by running a long cable to the modem downstairs, since I have read that the signal travels more efficiently down than up apparently. That has not been the case. Now, I have two routers. A D-link DIR-655 and a Netgear router provided by Comcast which is a WNR-1000v2.
possible to set one of these routers up as a wireless access point? Have a router upstairs be the access point, and have a router downstairs connected to the modem. This sounds like this may be a solution but let me know if I'm completely wrong. In my mind, what I'm after is more of a range extender or a repeater but at this point I don't know the difference anymore. It's been quite stressful dealing with my old man for the past week because he can't use his iPad.
A friend of mine has a network with the following setup: D-Link DSL-2500U for ADSL, connected straight into a Telkom DG834GUv5 (locally rebadged Netgear) which has 2 PCs connected via cable, and 2 laptops via Wireless. A cable runs from the Telkom into a standard IPLink switch, which merely extends a cable into a D-Link DIR-615 running DD-WRT that has 2 computers connected, and shares wireless to a couple laptops.
At the moment the network is somewhat unstable, and recently the Telkom router has been giving serious problems, even after resetting to default. I want to try make the network a bit simpler and more stable. Firstly, I want to remove the IPLink switch, which merely extends the cable. Is an Ethernet Coupler what I need? Both cables are definitely under 100m combined (probably under 50m).
Now the big thing is a replacement for the Telkom (rebadged NetGear). Should I get another D-Link DIR-615 or is there a better solution? Their budget is between $40 and $60 US. Is it best to stick to the same brand, considering both devices are D-Link at present?
I have two DIR-655s. One is my main router, connected to my modem. The other, on the other side of the house, is set up as an access point. I followed this guide to set up my AP: [URL]
Both are are hard wired. I have both of them using the same SSID. Both are 802.11g only, have the same security mode, and key. The only wireless difference is the channel. One uses 6, while the other uses 11.
On initial setup, everything is fine, but after a few hours, the AP just seems to stop broadcasting a signal. I'm using "Wifi Analyzer" on Android to monitor it. When I look at the AP, the wifi indicator light is still on. If I log into it, change the channel, and press save on the "Wireless Settings" screen, it will broadcast for a few more hours before stopping again. The wired connect of this AP always seems to work (Xbox is hard wired to it).
AP Hardware Version: B1 / Firmware Version: 2.03NA
So I've decided to use a different router to resolve some VPN issues, and want to use my DIR-655 as a pure wireless access point. I need the access point to use the same range of IP addresses as the rest of the network (maintain access to networked printers, file shares, etc). However, I can't establish a wireless connection to the access point.
- Defined a IP address for the DIR-655 within the DHCP range of the primary router - Defined the proper subnet - Disabled the DHCP server on the DIR-655 - Connect a LAN port of the DIR-655 to a LAN port on a switch (note that it's not connected directly to a router).
When I connect a device WIRED to a LAN port on the DIR-655, everything works fine. The device gets assigned a DHCP address (which I know is being assigned by the main router since the DIR-655 DHCP server is disabled), and I can connect to the LAN and I can access the internet with no problem. So I know the DIR-655 is acting correctly to pass thru traffic. Also, I can access the DIR-655 web configuration page from any LAN device (even a device not directly connected to the DIR-655), so I know the DIR-655 is on that LAN correctly.
But when I try to connect WIRELESS to the DIR-655, it doesn't work at all. Although the wireless NIC is connecting to the DIR-655 (e.g. it asks me for the WPA key), it can't pull an IP address, so there is no connection to the LAN or internet.
So just recently purchased the DIR-825 and DAP-1522. At this point I just want to get the DAP-1522 to work as a wireless access point to my DIR-825. So my wireless laptop would connect wirelessly to the DAP-1522 and the 1522 would go wireless to the router. Pretty basic I guess. I was planning on using the WAP to strengthen the 5 GHz signal to the router but again, at this point, I would be happy to get the 2.4 GHz working.
I've been working on this since last night and got frustrated and went to bed. I woke up fresh and decided to try again and I'm not having making any headway.
DIR-825 is connected to my DSL modem and has no problem accessing the internet. I can connect to either 2.4 or 5.0 directly from my laptop with no problem at all and have access to the internet. Encryption is disabled. It worked with encryption but I turned it off to troubleshoot this AP problem.
It should be simple but I must be doing something wrong. BTW is there a way to scan for network devices from the router or the access point? I tried discovering each device with the wireless setup button on each device but they don't recognize each other so I'm configuring this manually.
So the DAP has access point enabled and 802.11 is running in mixed mode. I've tried different variations but nothing has worked. I've tried 20 mhz and 20-40 auto mhz channels but same problem. Wireless security is off for troubleshooting at the moment.
DHCP server is disabled and I've assigned the DAP an available ip from the router's dhcp range. I can connect to the DAP both wirelessly and hard wired. The problem is that it can't seem to connect to the router. So my laptop can connect to the router and ha internet access. And it can also connect to the DAP but does not have internet access. The ip is showing auto configuration 169.x.x.x when connected to the DAP so I'm not getting an ip. Is the router supposed to assign the ip to my laptop through the DAP? But again, if the DAP can't communicate with the router, then that would explain why I can't get an IP.
How would I bridge a wireless connection with a distance of 400 feet? Would twoAP1262N-A-K9 be able to make this happen? Or is there another wireless bridge that you all can think of?I would be connecting one AP1262 of off a 3750g switch and at the far end (400 ft aproximately) another AP1262N-A-K9.
